  • johngclaudio John Claudio (@johngclaudio) reported

    @HostGator Hi. Where is the promised PHP 8 support that was supposed to come in March?

  • thekauzi Wachira Muriuki (@thekauzi) reported

    @HostGator Worst customer service experience. 1/2 star. Bought a hosting plan and got malware infected after 2 days. The have a SSL backend issue but keep blaming google for the blacklisting for my site downtime. upselling me another sitelock upgrade for $280 before helping.

  • Maxpar321 Max (@Maxpar321) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator VPS server still down and can’t login. When will this be fixed?

  • HostGator HostGator (@HostGator) reported

    @acadiasystems @HGSupport @acadiasystems We do apologize for the difficulty and inconvenience. Our Administrators are still working to get the issue resolved. We do appreciate your patience. -Tommy

  • CarShipCarrier Car Shipping Carrier (@CarShipCarrier) reported

    @HostGator This needs to get handled ASAP. People are losing money every minute that this isn’t fixed. To make it worse, your own customer & technical support doesn’t even know that these issues are occurring with the HostGator system. I’m told that the issues are on my site and caching. 🤬

  • Bitcoin_Mafia Cynthia T (@Bitcoin_Mafia) reported

    @HGSupport I'm trying to start a support chat on your website and it just buffers endlessly. I just got a call from a potential job that emails they've been sending to me over the past couple of days have been bouncing back.

  • Yevo_a Yevo (@Yevo_a) reported

    @twainmurua @HostGator @bluehostsupport It’s been working fine so far. That was the same issue external connection as well as outgoing connections were failing. I did realize that the php configs were reset such as max post size and execution time so I had to change those as well not sure if it’ll help

  • acadiasystems Acadia Systems, Inc. (@acadiasystems) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Do you have any details on the issue or a timeline for a correction? I can't get support to answer any questions and I cannot see the status of my open ticket online.

  • JennyMakesStuff Jenny 🇺🇦 (@JennyMakesStuff) reported

    @maedizon168 @HostGator @HGSupport I've been waiting for someone to enter the HostGator Support chat ... this is so frustrating.

  • twainmurua Sebastian Murua (@twainmurua) reported

    @Yevo_a @HostGator Have you had stability they told me the same crap in @bluehostsupport but it hasn't resolved the issue. I have an external API connecting to Bluehost but I get constantly a 503 error.

  • acadiasystems Acadia Systems, Inc. (@acadiasystems) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @HostGator Still an issue! We need answers! The lack of communication on this is just brutal.

  • JennyMakesStuff Jenny 🇺🇦 (@JennyMakesStuff) reported

    @maedizon168 @HostGator @HGSupport Same here with my dedicated server. Unbelievably difficult to finish any work. This has been happening since the outage a few days ago.

  • kesterclarke Kester Clarke (@kesterclarke) reported

    @HostGator @Hostgator, seriously this is just ridiculous. WHAT is the issue exactly? EXPLAIN!!! It's been SIX days!

  • maedizon168 WWWeb (@maedizon168) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport My dedicated server has intermittent connection. Whats happening? Sometimes up and sometimes down. In just a span of minutes. This is not stable. Its been 3 days already

  • twainmurua Sebastian Murua (@twainmurua) reported

    @Yevo_a @HostGator Having the same problem but with Bluehost is the same data server. Have they provided any solution?

  • acadiasystems Acadia Systems, Inc. (@acadiasystems) reported

    @HostGator Still an issue! Update your customers!

  • MuseoMACBA MACBA Buenos Aires (@MuseoMACBA) reported

    @HostGator We have been talking several times a day for the past 4 days. Always the same answer. It’s fixed. Works for 1 hour and then dies again. Then they explained they been having internal issues but today they asked for our IP. It’s is not an issue from our IP or our Internet provider

  • bgallagh3r Brian Gallagher (@bgallagh3r) reported

    @HGSupport It's been a few days and this networking issue has persisted. There has been little transparency about the issue at all other than "We are on it". Do better @HostGator.

  • rogeliosp Roiër (@rogeliosp) reported from Morelia, Estado de Michoacán de Ocampo

    @HGSupport Ey the server is down and we have no response on the chat

  • JeffStrobel Jeff Strobel (@JeffStrobel) reported

    You haven't experienced hell until you've tried to get support from @HostGator. Seriously, don't use Hostgator.

  • bgallagh3r Brian Gallagher (@bgallagh3r) reported

    @acadiasystems @HGSupport @HostGator Dropped connections, errors when checking email, my server monitoring tools tell me the server is offline throughout the day. Very frustrating. Multiple clients affected across multiple servers. No response from HG aside from "We are on it". It's been DAYS. 🤬

  • twainmurua Sebastian Murua (@twainmurua) reported

    @Yevo_a @HostGator @bluehostsupport Thanks dude, please be in touch if you have any news. I will also provide info if I know anything. We have an API in Heroku (Node.js) that connects through a Static IP to Bluehost database but I am getting 50X errors from Bluehost so the Node.js app crashes and I have to reboot

  • gyandeepsonis Gyandeep Soni (@gyandeepsonis) reported

    Such a useless Company full of bloody fools. Think twice before you buy any service bcoz NO PHONE SUPPORT. Still they are in covid situation. Rest all other co. Godaddy, Bigrock, Hostgator etc. are working actively.

  • Yevo_a Yevo (@Yevo_a) reported

    @twainmurua @HostGator Mine just started working hopefully continues - all I got was admin is aware and working on it but I realized there was some issues with the php configurations that they had messed up on

  • twainmurua Sebastian Murua (@twainmurua) reported

    @Yevo_a @HostGator @bluehostsupport Do you know if MySQL configs were restored to other values as well. I am getting Timeout Errors and I realized they have an interactive_timeout of 10 and wait_timeout of 3600. Now sure if this might be the problem

  • Vahkiti Liam (@Vahkiti) reported

    @HostGator This is opposed to simply stating that "This is technically fine, but know that you won't get our help with backups."
