Hostgator Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

Sean Wyseman (@StressStopper) reported@HostGator @WamanyaPious There's another issue that's worse than that. Hostgator just totally changed their webmail interface in their hosting service & is telling me that I have to live with the new interface. Here's why that's a problem. I've used the same interface for >20 years. I've got daily work habits that depend on it. But what did Hostgator do? They decided that ALL of their clients that use Hostgator are getting a new interface that's a disaster. If you liked the fact that all your stuff was laid out in a way that made working in it a breeze - YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT ANYMORE. Why is that a problem? Hostgator NEVER CONSULTED THEIR USERS - NEVER gave them a chance to TRY the new interface & choose. NO. WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER - The changed it & when I call for support they claim there's nothing they can do. Since I have to change interfaces - which is a massive problem - I might as well switch providers because forcing changes on your customer base without warning & without any opportunity to even express an opinion - is the dumbes think I've seen in hosting services. Therefore if I have to change interfaces I might as well get a new hosting service - despite being >20 years with Hostgator - looks like they hired too many DEI supporters. Still can't believe they did this. Please, if you read this far, someone suggest a better hosting service if you can recommend on that interacts with it's customers before changing their lives forever.

Misty Lake | Photographer (@Misty_Lake) reported@HGSupport I never had a free plan. The email address doesn't say HostGator or Gator in the domain.

Joan Reynolds (@JoanTReynolds) reported@HostGator I cannot login to my hostgator account. Support is now useless.

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HGSupport @NewfoldDigital I do not mean to offend, but what happened was and is you have some folks who may be well-meaning, but do not understand what they're doing. Too often someone at HG makes changes to my back-end server that I did not authorize. This has been problem for the last 3 years. STOP IT. Make sure to allow the owner-admin, er, me, to approve any changes before they're made. Do not just DO them.

Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reportedAt this point this is a @Hostgator issue exclusively, all other hosts have resolved their issues. There is a good chance that all of these sites have been wiped from their servers and are looking for an explanation that limits their liability. I have little hope that the sites will be restored. @HGSupport

HADESNYC®️ (@HADESNYC) reported@HGSupport my site is down. I need help now

Joseph Franco (@francojosephsd) reported@HGSupport When will you correct the VPS service? 96 hour is way out of good service.
-
John Peterson (@johnpetersontx) reported@YoungbloodJoe @HostGator Instead, it's often better to put them on a managed hosting service of some sort. I found this out the hard way when I got hacked on a VPS because then I didn't keep up with package updates.

kenny chez (@kennychez) reportedDay 9 of complete server outage. @HostGator took server offline after cPanel security patch on 28 Apr. Many client websites down and I am facing hell everyday . No resolution timeline. No escalation path. Ticket E-515758. This is unacceptable. #HostGator #HostGatorDown

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @grok do you know why HostGator now closes its offices rather than give 24-hour support, unlike they sed to ?
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HGSupport @NewfoldDigital I have emails from HostGator going back to 2010. I can show you many times HostGator Admins have done yeoman work in coding. I learned a lot from them. That should be your model, not this frankly lazy approach that HG has adopted. Make some coin and help your customers.

Hephzibah Magazine TV (@Gabbybooks82) reported@HGSupport @HostGator What else do you need.D server has been down for 3 weeks. When it happened we immediately contacted you, and you recommended, we purchase a new dedicated server for migration, which we did but you never could fix the old server to migrate us to D new. *I-25506113 is the ref ID*

Eduardo Morales (@chikipollo08) reported@HostGator I submitted a support ticket regarding my hosting; my emails are not reaching their destination. I've had the ticket open for 3 days and no one has followed up on it.

stellarum (@lumeatortellars) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator @HGSupport I have a client’s site that’s been down since Sunday night and our web team has received nothing other than the same copy/paste response I’ve seen support using on here and there’s no telling how many sales they’re losing.
-
Sleak (@Sleaklight) reportedAny we host recommendations? @hostgator now is going to limit how many email boxes we have and I want to jump ship. I only use it for email anyway as the sites there all got hacked and got no help from support.
