Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MRS_DO_BETTER Brittney March (@MRS_DO_BETTER) reported

    @HostGator My website has been down for 3 days and I have been given the run around by your phone and chat support. I have had the worst customer service. Your phone support representative, Dave (probably not his real name), is extremely rude. I pay for full service and expect to get that!

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator I mean I guess any hosting things that dont include hosting I guess you may be good at that, well that and things that dont require any real resolutions just more and more excuses, oh and nothing that requires any real level of customer service or satisfaction, you may be good

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    @HGSupport After about 45 calls to a offshore support number and DM to support, my problem is still not solved. I’m now shopping for a different hosting service. One thing you can count on; I will flood social media with the truth about your lack of customer service.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Also I would try less to retaliate on consumers with issues by disabling websites Mysteriously

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Other than being Wholly untrustworthy, and Shady, and Never Working, And Having Admin Only Issues, But No Admin Available, And Always Opening Files That Shouldnt Exist, And Failing To Use SSL On Sites After Repeated Requests To Fix, And Having My Site Down On A Daily Basis...

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    If the link doesnt work, its because @HostGator has the shittiest service on earth

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    we will build an entire new site in the time @HostGator cant even get an "Admin" to fix the issue that should speak for itself

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @hostgator is holding my domains hostage in retaliation for me having issues with them and their service

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport What moron starts a service answer with the word Correction, you want to correct something, correct your horrible system lol

  • EthaanJack Ethan Jackson (@EthaanJack) reported

    @GlewmeCorp Don't go with hostgator. I used them previously, so many issues. You may consider Asphostportal, I'm using their service.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    Thank God We Have Begun To Transfer Our Domains From The Worlds Worst Service @Hostgator I wouldnt trust them with my dogs domain

  • _WhatifStudio_ Whatif Studio (@_WhatifStudio_) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia Your support phone no. is bad. Trying to connect since morning with some queries. But the call is not getting connected after the IVR. Will you please look after this...

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Cool Now try Focusing on Hosting, Instead of whatever Host Gator Does, Because It Cant Be Hosting, Because It Never Works

  • 13flmd 13flmd (@13flmd) reported

    @HostGator has the most frustrating customer service mostly based out of India. Their agents have little to no knowledge in hosting and servers. It’s beyond ridiculous. They just string you along for hours.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    In my entire career, I am sure I have not heard of, or encountered a company so incapable of mediocre service even and who mismanaged anything as bad as @hostgator has mismanaged my hosting and registrations

  • bgallagh3r Brian Gallagher (@bgallagh3r) reported

    @HGSupport Maybe we could get a heads up about the SSL issue you guys are having and working on right now? Just got done with a support chat and haven't seen or heard a peep on the forums or anywhere else about this issue impacting Hostgator Customers.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    Our Download Page Is Back Up For Temporary, It Isnt Much, But It Was Faster Than @HostGator Support, if we were waiting on them we would still be waiting

  • DwdMallender Dan Mallender (@DwdMallender) reported

    @HostGator @Twitter Down? What’s happening?

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @tiMCrow666 @HostGator Really and even if they thought they were the best, what worst service on earth still has the site down 2 days later, and has admins stuck in 1993 who can only email haahhaha

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @tiMCrow666 @HostGator What an entirely ****** service, people like this need to be sued into oblivion

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport Ooh now you just have to make the Admins actually care about something and we will be good to go, my site has been down 2 days, talked to 15 agents, sent 20 requests, explained 12 hours on phone, 5 chat sessions, and fixed all issues and even installed site lock, and still notta

  • peakminute Mantas J 📌 (@peakminute) reported

    @HGSupport @SiteLock @HostGator Sadly I've already contacted Hostgator support and you was unable to help me.

  • QuestionablePr5 Questionable Programming (@QuestionablePr5) reported

    @HostGator @Twitter Glad to know its not just another weird problem with my internet

  • Damnian_NFT Damnian (@Damnian_NFT) reported

    @GlewmeCorp @HostGator I personally would never host an alligator, just too risky and not that reliable. Well that should be obvious…

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    I’m receiving approx 60 ssl cert error emails every day. @HostGator support suggested I create a folder and redirect them there. This is not customer support!!! Why not correct whatever is causing the errors?

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    I’m receiving approx 60 ssl cert error emails every day. After weeks of calls, @HostGator support said to create a folder and redirect the cPanel error emails there and ignore them. This is not customer support!!! Correct whatever is causing the errors.

  • mariska_guntur mariska_guntur (@mariska_guntur) reported

    @HGSupport @jjrruiz I never violated the rules or used third party application and I get kicked out permanently with the help Panel_Support on InsTa gave me assistance because I was lost on what to do.

  • peakminute Mantas J 📌 (@peakminute) reported

    @SiteLock is there some sort of maintenance going on? because I can't login to sitelock via @HostGator

  • OutlawSoaps Outlaw (@OutlawSoaps) reported

    @monaeatsLA (Danielle here)- I feel like everything relies on someone else's platform at this point... when I was on Wordpress, HostGator went down for 3 days. Now I'm on Shopify, and they sometimes (rarely) go down. Is there anywhere that isn't on someone else's platform?

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    Are you considering @HostGator to host your website? If so, contact me and let me tell you my horror stories with their support. Or should I say, lack thereof.
