    .@HostGator on hold with you. When are you going to fix this email issue? When will your support management team get back to me? #techsupport /1

  • MitziSzereto Mitzi Szereto (@MitziSzereto) reported

    @SSDesignMedia @HGSupport I'm also having issues since the cpanel upgrade. Now I can't access my email (again). Something is definitely wrong on your end, not mine!

  • vwmannn Victor Westmann 🇧🇷🇨🇦 (@vwmannn) reported

    @NickMilo Everything on the web my friend. Except hostgator and godaddy. They're also terrible.

  • just_amyaz Amya Zhanelle ✨Social Media Consultant (@just_amyaz) reported

    Hostgator yall need to do better with your support because this is lackluster

  • N0sce_te_ipsum チン (@N0sce_te_ipsum) reported

    @HGSupport I did before, but after like half an hour of wait on the first, I just open two more ; ) Am on one window one; let me see how it works out. In the worst case, I will pm you here : )

  • AtlasBatterie ***** Lowdown (@AtlasBatterie) reported

    Call for support, Hostgator bot says "I understand English" then no matter how clearly or loudly I spoke "I can't hear you". Now on chat. They seemed so nice during off hours. My client's site is down because a ****** DNS provider can't load balance.

  • 1090TheMightier The Mightier 1090 (@1090TheMightier) reported from Carlsbad, California

    @HostGator @HGSupport 6th call today, emails been down almost 24 hours. What is going on?

  • acegirljendeuk franz | voting and streaming 🥀 (@acegirljendeuk) reported

    @pinkpinipig did you contact na the support of hostgator?

  • amgdev Andrea Gibbens (@amgdev) reported

    @natmiletic @kvncnls The white screen of death happened only after being on the phone with HostGator and them trying to fix the original issue... which happened when I imported my local dev site to the staging site attached to their domain which ended up redirecting their domain to ".local"

  • itsmakiidilla .MakiiDilla (@itsmakiidilla) reported

    @HGSupport I expressed my situation, your company can not do anything but take 300 to fix my site. 140 deep on a server I now need to move away from, it’s an absolute joke. Nice as pie on the public domain yet sour and short in private communication. It’s not acceptable.

  • itsmakiidilla .MakiiDilla (@itsmakiidilla) reported

    @HostGator are a shower of robbing bastards. The end. Taking my site down peeps, I can’t afford the fee of 450 yearly. @HGSupport thanks for absolutely nothing.

  • SunnyCrittenden 💀💕🌸~*SunnyGrrrl*~💖✨💀 (@SunnyCrittenden) reported

    If anyone needs site hosting, @HostGator has phenomenal customer service & decently priced hosting packages. Had trouble setting up DNS for new domain, started customer service chat & she was like, "want me to just set them for you?" New domain will be working in 2 hrs. Magic! 👍

  • creatorcastle Young Minds Prosper (@creatorcastle) reported

  • SadieYIS PhotosBySadie (@SadieYIS) reported

    @The_Afsar @SiteGround @HostGator Ahh someone else with the same issue as me. Hate their new site tools, really missing cPanel my websites runs e-commerce and a part of it broke I can’t fix it because of the way siteground runs their servers

  • bjohnhillary #StopKidnappingUgandans (@bjohnhillary) reported

    @FreeKaaMaal Cheated Me Hostgator Offer Cashback Not Tracked Support Staff Not Answering Unable To Fill Missing Form Too Please Help Me Guys #freekaamaal

  • SSDesignMedia Steven Schneider (@SSDesignMedia) reported

    @HostGator you updated cPanel and did not reassign the website builder app for designers to login to and access their websites!

  • HoltTrains Holt Training Inst. (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HostGator a hosting company with ambiguous billing practices. You are a technology company. Why must one get a refund and then repurchase to apply to open invoice. @Quickbooks please help HostGator, please

  • skystracloud Skystra Cloud (@skystracloud) reported

    @1090TheMightier @HostGator @HGSupport Hey Guys, email being down is no bueno. Especially for over 24 hours. Is it back up yet, or still down? And more importantly, do you have access to cPanel? If so, maybe we can help.

  • SSDesignMedia Steven Schneider (@SSDesignMedia) reported

    @HGSupport I know how to clear the cache and perform other network diagnostics, that is not fixing the issue. I have websites that in need access to and I pay for your hosting and professional services and I’m still not able to access control panel or website builder. This is ridiculous!

  • creatorcastle Young Minds Prosper (@creatorcastle) reported

    @HostGator @heyscottrowan your website has been down for two days I cant login, what should I do?

  • creatorcastle Creator Castle (@creatorcastle) reported

    @HostGator @heyscottrowan The portal is down please help!

  • ericalynnedraws Erica Bryant (@ericalynnedraws) reported

    I’ve used a lot of website services over the years & @HostGator is by far the absolute worst one. The WYSWYG Weebly editor can take eons to load (if it loads at all) & the last two days when I updated a single thing on my website the entire site is now unable to be viewed. Hate.

  • DeFiDominatrix DeFi ********** (@DeFiDominatrix) reported

    honestly loving how hostgator took forever to respond to a problem on my site and then ended up ******* my site up, only to take forever to respond again so they can unfuck up my site this time.

  • SSDesignMedia Steven Schneider (@SSDesignMedia) reported

    @HGSupport I’ve already done all of those things and live chat has not been helpful at all. I’ve been told they were addressing the issue for going on 2 days now. I was told by a “manager, Brian Christian” that this would be fixed by now.

  • Cycle7Comms Cycle7Comms (@Cycle7Comms) reported

    @HGSupport I was on the phone with one of your support people when you messaged. Please have a customer support mgr contact me re 31775637. After > 25 calls & emails to your supt team, my inbox is still losing many emails. Unacceptable!

  • itsmakiidilla .MakiiDilla (@itsmakiidilla) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport I need a solution to my issues in DM. The information I was provided was incorrect as stated by sitelock. I need this resolve asap.
