    Hey @HostGator did you go out of business? Nothing works and your chat support has been 5 minutes away for the last 70 minutes. #badservice

  • chacaldelasado lagarto (@chacaldelasado) reported

  • santiagomc1210 Santiago Meléndez (@santiagomc1210) reported

    @HostGator Still the same problem than last week, emails take a lot to reach its destination and your support team is not responding by chat.

  • robin_stevenson Robin Stevenson (@robin_stevenson) reported

    @HostGator Not just emails- my website is down. When will this be fixed- any idea of timeline?

    @HostGator It is still not working. Ready to leave @HostGator after 10 years.

  • shoaibhussain Shoaib Hussain (@shoaibhussain) reported

    @profitsinyards @HostGator Same for everyone the past two weeks that’s why changed hosting of few websites out of hostgator. Will move other websites too if not fixed soon! Websites not loading and emails not working!

  • BilalBhatti Bilal Bhatti (@BilalBhatti) reported

    @profitsinyards @HostGator Same. Site is down.

  • KitchenerTesla TeslaKitchener (@KitchenerTesla) reported

    @tekchic @HostGator @HGSupport How does it take 5 days to fix an email issue? Correction…still not fixed

  • Benitez2Ines ines benitez (@Benitez2Ines) reported

    @HGSupport @saldana8307 @theadversary_ I don't know what you mean quickly but it's day 6 that I have the problem. They do not know how to give an answer and they do not offer anything either, they just say to wait while we wait, we lose customers and money

  • gustavocorream Gustavo Correa (@gustavocorream) reported

    @HostGator I have more than 4 hours trying to get someone from support to answer in the chat section and also though the phone line, it’s just unacceptable the poor customer service .

  • teamvtechnology Team V Technology (@teamvtechnology) reported

    I never tweet...but @HostGator FIX YOUR SERVERS and provide your customers with an ETA since you don't answer your phones or chats.

  • odelcastillo Omar del Castillo (@odelcastillo) reported

    @HostGator Do you still use @HGSupport account? It haven't tweet since January. I've been waiting a while for a response in the chat. Ticket support was better and I didn't have to stop my work and stare at the chat just to report a problem.

  • profitsinyards Taylor Thompson (@profitsinyards) reported

    @BilalBhatti @HostGator Yeah- I noticed the same thing. Happens with Xfinity, but they actually fix the problem. I don't know, mate. I'm giving it probably until Friday night- And if nothing, looks like my Friday night is planned out for me changing hosts.

  • rlischer Rob Lischer (@rlischer) reported

    @tekchic @HostGator @HGSupport Outgoing email seems to be the issue I am having.

  • hector7131 Héctor Torres (@hector7131) reported

    @HostGator I have problems sending and receiving emails, I've been intermittent for 1 week, the page and the domain are down, support chat does not respond... I need help!!

  • r_sotojr Ricky (@r_sotojr) reported

    @HGSupport @CartelProhibido You guys need to publish a statement explaining what the problem is. We need to give our customers some kind of response on why the service they paid for isn’t working.

  • santiagomc1210 Santiago Meléndez (@santiagomc1210) reported

    @HostGator apparently you didn't solve the email's issue, today emails sended can't reach destination properly, it takes more than 2 hours in some cases. Chat support agents didn't answer either.

  • MarketingwTHG David Hammond (@MarketingwTHG) reported

    @HostGator Help. Your outages are really hurting my small business…. 😢

  • AlexShinohara Alex Shinohara (@AlexShinohara) reported

    @HostGator Can you provide more professional information? There's no such thing as having a problem and not passing any estimated resolution date to customers. Why is the titan email working and the others are glitching?

  • RockerUrano Rocker Uraño (@RockerUrano) reported

    @HostGator My webpage is down again. Third time this week and is impossible to get any help from you guys. Please help.

  • profitsinyards Taylor Thompson (@profitsinyards) reported

    @HostGator For me, it's not just sending emails. I'm having trouble loading my sites. Is this a separate issue?

  • TaylorBryanne18 Taylor Hamilton (@TaylorBryanne18) reported

    @HostGator Any ETA? if not fixed by end of day, we will be changing provider tonight. Useless company didnt even bother to contact people about this issue and left it to me to figure out what was wrong.

  • prometeusx Oscar Aguilar (@prometeusx) reported

    @HGSupport whats going to be the compensation? it has been several days with email problems and still no solution

  • Dolans_Cadillac Matty V (@Dolans_Cadillac) reported

    @HostGator Messages sent hours ago have not been delivered. This is badly affecting our business, for days now. What is the timeframe on the fix? What is responsible for the delay?

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @shaunoconnor1 @HGSupport @HostGator oh and there online chat is so backed up. I had it open for 30 minutes and got nothing but "We are experiencing high call volumes please wait..." - so my guess is something is going on, shoulder shrug. My own fault for staying... my own damn fault.

  • iam_donolaf Olaf (@iam_donolaf) reported

    @HostGator Because I don’t understand this having to wait on your live chat for hours to resolve a problem

  • thathbduran HB Duran #MidnightSociety (@thathbduran) reported

    @HostGator My account no longer shows that I have domains or a hosting package. Is that part of the problem you're resolving?
