    @HostGator I Don’t know how to contact you. The live chat doesn’t work, you doesn’t answer my emails. I can’t use my domain and I am worried cause nobody answers me. PLEASE HELP !!!!

  • CynderHost CynderHost (@CynderHost) reported

    @ATVScoundrel @petehalvorsen @HostGator If reliability is what you’re after, our 99.9% uptime guarantee may suit you! We also offer 24/7 support and will even save you money. Our speeds are blazing fast and we’re backed by experts. I can migrate you over for free; can I flick you a DM with more info?

  • BryanMBowden Bryan M. Bowden ஃ (@BryanMBowden) reported

    @HostGator it’s beyond pathetic that a hosting company allows their service certificates to expire and causes a tremendous amount of problems for the people that host through them.

  • JDuvillard JP Duvillard (@JDuvillard) reported

    @HostGator your shared host has been down for 9 hours, we have lost an entire day of business and still no explanation apart from "this is a planned migration". Not planned at all, we didn't even get notified

  • Barritz 𝔅𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔱𝔷 (@Barritz) reported

    @HostGator Just 2 weeks ago all your cloud servers were out so websites were down & now it’s all communications via email? The reliability of your services in 2022 has been subpar to say it kindly. This is unacceptable and I’d like to be contacted in regard to a service credit.

  • alfredhichcock Brian McCaul (@alfredhichcock) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Add me to your list of people that saw your cert expire at 8:00 pm EST. External mail is down, and my cpanel portal is showing an SSL error in the browser.

  • BuxMontNews Tom Sofield (@BuxMontNews) reported

    .@levittownnow's main site has been offline for more than 24 hours. Our hosting company, one of the largest, has suffered a major problem. So far, no updates from their tech team. No answers at their call centers or live chat. Disturbing to say the least. @HostGator @HGSupport

  • renoseoexpert Sandy Rowley (@renoseoexpert) reported

    @HGSupport Support hold times are 90 minutes? Chat function is not working for a week now. How to get ahold of a human at #hostgator ?

  • MyOnTheRoadCom My On The Road (@MyOnTheRoadCom) reported

    @AndrewLedford @HostGator customer service is terrible. On my 5th call today. so far it is back the bad old days when no one knew what they were talking about.

  • charlestweets2 charlestweets (@charlestweets2) reported

    @DianePatterson @HostGator Same, having the same issues - how embarrassing for @HostGator

  • NRombiola Nicolas Rombiola (@NRombiola) reported

    @HostGator the problem continues...

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator This has NEVER happened before. Also, I can't correlate that cert with any other cert that I'm aware of. The others have different fingerprints, etc. What happened please? You need to provide some details. We can't be just clicking "Accept" on certificate errors!

  • weikfitness Matt Weik (@weikfitness) reported

    @CoachGiorgio @HostGator I’m having the same issue

  • weikfitness Matt Weik (@weikfitness) reported

    @DianePatterson @HostGator I’m having the same issue!

  • neilfelias Neil Patrick Felias (@neilfelias) reported

    @HostGator Please fix this asap. Webmail is very important to my customers! 😔

  • ATVScoundrel ATV Scoundrel (@ATVScoundrel) reported

    @HostGator The "issue" is that the damn security certificate expired! It's beyond outrageous that #Hostgator would allow this to happen. How many businesses are currently paralyzed because of your gross incompetence?

  • DianePatterson Diane Patterson (@DianePatterson) reported

    Seriously, wtf, @HostGator? You forgot to renew your certificates?

  • gustavocorream Gustavo Correa (@gustavocorream) reported

  • MyOnTheRoadCom My On The Road (@MyOnTheRoadCom) reported

    @AndrewLedford @HostGator now on call six. This is a really high effort host. how long does it take to install a site on @HostGator one day two, maybe five or never. At least this will make a good blog post.

  • DavidJay1965 David Jay (@DavidJay1965) reported

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator Yep, ok, so nothing. I moved to Hostgator years ago when you were good. And you were. Now you're just garbage. Zero service, zero responsibility. Just ... zero. This is a serious failing on your behalf but you act as if it's nothing and leave your customers hanging.
