  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HostGator Lack of Accountability: Poor accountability is a condition that negatively impacts many organizations, and this condition grows worse each day. If the culture of your organization does not support the value of accountability, employees and do often “get away with murder.”

    @sixfootcandy @HostGator @HGSupport what's the problem

  • Khainata Khainata - Web Designers (@Khainata) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Please I need help with Ticket 31009502. Several hours with the server down!!!

  • amitksi Amit Singh (@amitksi) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator @HGSupport How many months or year this issue is going to be opened?

  • glenp Mr P (@glenp) reported

    @HostGator I'm done. Wasted way to much time as it is. If I don't receive an email from support I'll be looking for alternative options.

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HostGator My website has been down for 2 days and nobody in Texas on second-tier support will fix my SSL certificate issues. My customers have to pay their utility bills at the beginning of the month, mostly elderly individuals and their services might get cut off. Please help!

  • oshioki4 oshioki (@oshioki4) reported

    @HostGator Server’s down?

  • wpmedic WordPress Medic (@wpmedic) reported

    @ThinkUtilitySer @HGSupport Was the issue fixed? SSL is working on the website.

  • anzilone Mohammed Anzil (@anzilone) reported

    Hey, @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia ... Our websites are down. Any issues?

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HGSupport My customers have to pay their utility bills at the beginning of the month, mostly elderly individuals and their services might get cut off. I can't get answers on the support line so I will try social media for assistance. Please help!

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HGSupport You mean your system is randomly changing permissions on the server and the folders? Why isn't this a wide spread issue then? My IT says they think you are capping me, I am updating too much and you are "blocking" me from doing too much in a certain time frame. Can this be?

  • gerraine arnold abutog (@gerraine) reported

    @HGSupport my site is down since yesterday with a 503 service unavailable screen while your chat support is not working.

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    But somehow @hostgator seems to find new inventive ways of screwing it up. I never had problems with them until the last year. Now I am getting slow sites, weird errors and DNS and record issues. DAMMIT, I will have to move my sites AGAIN. EAD Hostgator. Choke on it.

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HGSupport My website has been down for 2 days and nobody in Texas on second-tier support will fix my SSL certificate issues. I haven't received emails or phone calls and I'm getting the same answers from tier 1 support.

  • sixfootcandy Jawbreaker (@sixfootcandy) reported

    @HGSupport That’s what the last 5 support people said. They escalated 3x already and my old server expires TODAY. On Friday they told me 72 hours. Yesterday, after escalating it with a supervisor, they said they’d be on it in 15 mins and then today it’s 7 days.

  • ShutterHireUK Shutter Hire (@ShutterHireUK) reported

    @HGSupport I'm trying to use your chat service and i can't get through. The migrating of my website from a previous host is a SHAMBLES. Most of my images are missing! I need to contact you ASAP!

  • long Jonathan Long (@long) reported from Miami, Florida

    @HostGator get more incompetent support reps. You can’t. What a complete and utter **** show. Been months. Nothing but bs.

  • gotoandrock Mac (@gotoandrock) reported

    @HostGator yeah screw off for redirecting my signup for hosting signup to dream which doesn’t work at all. I have no way to test php @DreamHost your web ssh login sucks.

  • YoungbloodJoe Joe Youngblood (@YoungbloodJoe) reported

    Me: My client gave me the wrong password and I think my ip is blocked for too many failed attempts. Can you fix for [ip addy]? HostGator: Let me look *2 minutes later* HostGator: Everything seems fine here, I can see the WHM login page. Call your ISP to fix.

  • the_tycoonist Mike (@the_tycoonist) reported

    Website down because stupid @HostGator doesn’t have an “admin” on call to fix an access issue. ETA for fix also unknown...thanks a lot guys!

  • sixfootcandy Jawbreaker (@sixfootcandy) reported

    The support team at @HostGator are absolutely incompetent. Every person you speak to says something different and no one knows what they’re doing.

  • Sami4net SaMi SeNaN (@Sami4net) reported

    @HostGator Your Live chat support not working, how we contact support ??

  • the_tycoonist Mike (@the_tycoonist) reported

    Website down because stupid @HostGator doesn’t have an “admin” on call to fix access issues. In the email “queue” so ETA unknown. Thanks a bunch @HGSupport!

  • NarenOfTheUS narendroid (@NarenOfTheUS) reported

    @CodeWithJanine Can I assume you’ve called hostgator support?

  • Tylewah Tylewah (@Tylewah) reported

    It may be a stretch but does anyone know how to install Wordpress onto Hostgator? I've got no idea what any of that is but my mom is trying to set it all up and I just want to help

  • ShutterHireUK Shutter Hire (@ShutterHireUK) reported

    @HGSupport I don't have a case number i'm trying to use the chat support feature but it's not working.

  • sixfootcandy Jawbreaker (@sixfootcandy) reported

    The support team at @HostGator are absolutely incompetent. Every person you speak to says something different and no one knows what they’re doing. @HGSupport sucks.

  • theofficialira Ian Robert Anderson (@theofficialira) reported

    @skystracloud The problem has whenever I updated anything (wp, plugins, themes) I would get a 500 error and could not login to the admin area. HostGator solution = don't update anything ever! I'm moving hosting to @wpengine

  • PDJohnsonGA Paul Johnson (@PDJohnsonGA) reported

    @CodeWithJanine Okay cool. So the problem lies with Hostgator somewhere

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HostGator For example, my website is down. My customers leave a negative review on Google. Which affects my marketing department, increased customer service issues, and billing.
