Hostgator Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • brokernathan brokernathan (@brokernathan) reported

    The only thing worse than having my @HostGator hosted email being down is being told by @HGSupport that it's not down when it clearly is.

  • Njaguofficial Edwin (@Njaguofficial) reported

    Even Hostgator or Bluehost is not upto @ScalaHosting level yet. Their uptime, security, backups, performance, pricing, customer support and many other features are on another level and I am saying this after using of all them.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

  • JAB4R Jab4r (@JAB4R) reported

    Never host your website or app on hostgator , once i hosted my app on their shared plan my email got spammed by emails from unknown people , they are selling your email and information , they hide it with ( your domain info is public ) but thats a lie

  • LordPhantom Mathew Taylor (@LordPhantom) reported

    @brokernathan @HostGator @HGSupport Get your email onto Microsoft 365, you'll never have a problem again.

  • illGatesMusic ill.Gates “The Future” Out NOW :) (@illGatesMusic) reported

    @EthaanJack Thank you. Their support were TERRIBLE. Trying to gaslight me and then pass the buck on to @HostGator. So wack. HostGator wasn’t even involved in this domain!

  • Ray1022LEE Ry Lee (@Ray1022LEE) reported

    @HostGator my website is extremely slow when connecting to the database from yesterday the chat service says it is due to overuse by the host owners. but this never happens

  • PortiaPodsnap Po 🌞 (@PortiaPodsnap) reported

    @zion781 @LaneHenson10 @newsmax Serious people don't use GoDaddy or HostGator or other conglomerate rollups that job out their tech support to Hindustan. There are many quality ISPs and domain resellers to choose from.

  • UrbanAborigane Rhymes with Let It Be! 🎶🎵😃✌🤞🤟🙏❤🤠 (@UrbanAborigane) reported

    @VJShordee444 @ViacomCBS @HostGator "Mike" wasn't hired to help you. He was hired to get you off the phone ASAP. I know the industry. His name is probably David..

  • isellmoney Eleanor Thorne (@isellmoney) reported

    @HGSupport getting tons of 500 errors?

  • CaseyToGo Casey // (@CaseyToGo) reported

    @HGSupport Is your website having issues? I can not even load the login portal but accessing any other website seems fine.

  • AerieSaunders aerie 👻 (@AerieSaunders) reported

    Lol @HostGator charged me twice for something I asked them to refund as per recommendation of their live chat support. I’m out $1000+ and in the negatives in my bank account. Might be using a new host. Wtf.

  • ManyCollect Many Collect (@ManyCollect) reported

    @HGSupport hey, I’m very upset. 3rd straight day you guys have “fixed” my problem and then it just comes right back. My customers can’t upload pictures, and I’m getting SICK AND TIRED OF HOSTGATOR

  • chaiwat08533526 chaiwat (@chaiwat08533526) reported

    @HostGator That's the big problem for me.

  • ascendedheir Beef Tartare Enthusiast (@ascendedheir) reported

    Hostgator ******* sucks btw

  • doublecupwave The Double Cup (@doublecupwave) reported

    Website was down the past 5 days - my apologies to anyone who tried to access it. Blame HostGator..

  • anzilone Mohammed Anzil (@anzilone) reported

    Hey @HGSupport @hostgatorindia Purchased a new domain from BigRock and added it to the Hosting and installed WordPress. While checking the site is not up now. Why? Please help me.

  • VJShordee444 I AM Valerie & trump is still dangerous (@VJShordee444) reported

    Oh just so you know, Mike, the customer service guy from @ViacomCBS was a ****** customer service guy. He was **** from the moment he said hello. He definitely wasn’t like the guy I had from @HostGator. Totally different. And both times I’m a paying customer.

  • BruceLiebknecht Bruce Liebknecht (@BruceLiebknecht) reported

    Hello! My website has an unexpected problem right now. I get the message "PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /home2/dejapi/public_html/plantpets/includes/lock.inc)." Can you please investigate? @HostGator @HGSupport

  • agazdecki Andrew Gazdecki (@agazdecki) reported

    For non-technical founders looking to validate a startup idea... 1. Web design on @99designs 2. Hire Wordpress dev on @Upwork & cheap @HostGator server 3. Share site with customers 4. Focus on the problem, not the features. 5. Talk to more customers 6. Ask for feedback

  • lwolfe63 Linda Wolfe (@lwolfe63) reported

    @HostGator your tech support has really gone down hill. SO BAD!!!!

  • tfbretz Theron Bretz (@tfbretz) reported

    @TheSpiceMustJoe @NjalTjorkilsson I'm not gonna lie, I've heard some of those help desk gigs are kind of terrible (cough **HostGator** cough), but folks who come out of that environment usually have very marketable skills to move up in IT.

  • sherrismilez The Kitchen Rx (@sherrismilez) reported

    @HostGator Your website isn’t working. C panel and support/chat pages not loading.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CORP (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator dont touch my **** unless I ask you to thanks You cost me enough progress, I am unsure Why you set my **** to a wordpress default but I fixed it, mess with my **** again and we will see you in court, got it?

  • brian08AVP Brian Alexis (@brian08AVP) reported
