  • heymusafir 🌾 (@heymusafir) reported

    @HGSupport @KingRockLaw Hi, one of my webs are down to a few minutes ago. Is it just me or?

  • glamourandgrime Glamour and Grime (@glamourandgrime) reported

    @HostGator What is the point of having web chat if it is as broken as the hosting service that you provide?

  • griduino Barry K7BWH (@griduino) reported

    @K3TripleR @HostGator @HGSupport HostGator is owned by the same guys that acquired Bluehost in 2022. Bluehost sucks. They regularly crashed my website on Thursdays at 1:40 am. I moved to Ion Blade.

  • Nnix19 N nix (@Nnix19) reported

    @HGSupport how do I get into contact with support from the US by phone that can resolve your ongoing issue immediately? Level I has been subpar, and so far we can only communicate with Level III via email.

  • K3TripleR K3RRR (@K3TripleR) reported

    @SoberHam @HostGator @HGSupport Thanks Dave… There are on my shortlist although I've been told they are owned by the same company that operates HostGator which is a huge concern by itself but I'm doing my drill down today to make a final decision in the next couple of hours…Thanks for taking time to respond!

  • BrigBurton Brig A. Burton (@BrigBurton) reported

    @HostGator - my websites have been down now for 2 days due to your incompetent tech team messing them up. Still no answers. Sites still down. Unable to get a competent tech on the phone for 2 days! #badbusiness

  • amir2000 Amir2000.nl - Amir Darzi 🇮🇱🇳🇱📷 (@amir2000) reported

    If @HostGator refuses to respect the right to be forgotten, anyone can help with #gdpr rights? #righttobeforgotten

  • ecarlesi Emiliano Carlesi (@ecarlesi) reported

    Possible threat on expressdelivery-support[.]com #hostgator

  • jasminelukuku Jasmine Lukuku (@jasminelukuku) reported

    The winner of worst customer service I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with is @HostGator. They missed every follow up deadline they set for themselves. They promised me calls that never came. They never shared notes so I had to explain everything over and over.

  • TheCozyCoder Dani.B (@TheCozyCoder) reported

    Which reminds me that my first Tech job I worked at Hostgator as a support person or whatever that title is and how much of my day was just fixing Wordpress sites because broken plugins. 🥴

  • jasminelukuku Jasmine Lukuku (@jasminelukuku) reported

    @HostGator Can you give me the hours back that I spent waiting for return phone calls that never came?

  • HostGator HostGator (@HostGator) reported

    @burumanet @HGSupport Hi Buruma, we are sorry to hear you are having issues with your website. Can you send us a DM, so we can check the status of your ticket?

  • burumanet Buruma (@burumanet) reported

    Recommendations for competitive and reliable hosting companies? Looking for an established company that has been around a while (at least 10 years) and BBB accredited. Looking to jump ship from @HostGator @HGSupport by next week if they don't sort out their server issues.

  • KingRockLaw Julie King (@KingRockLaw) reported

    @HGSupport Are your hosting services down? ALL of my websites are refusing to load.

  • reptoid27 Reptoid - Independent Content Creator (@reptoid27) reported

    @SetraHosting @Hostway A friend suggested you might want in on this conversation in some way @HostGator. What is your response to the situation? How does your company treat the disabled and poor regarding this matter?

  • imArshit Arshit (@imArshit) reported

    @HostGator Web server is not working. still our most of the sites are down and facing the problems. your customer care are making people's fool.. Very Bad Experience. #Hostgator

  • wordpressdotcom WordPress.com (@wordpressdotcom) reported

    @foerster_bryan Apologies; these tweets slipped through the cracks. It looks like your site uses @WordPress with @Hostgator. You might try to narrow down which plugin/theme is causing maintenance mode to trigger; maybe update one at a time? Get backups first, too.

  • AcademicoIO Académico I/O (@AcademicoIO) reported

    @HostGator still offers the obsolete PHP 7.4 in their web hosting plans, and resists upgrading to PHP 8.x! That's too bad!

  • reptoid27 Reptoid - Independent Content Creator (@reptoid27) reported

    @Quail_Gang @HostGator Will they also take my money and fail to provide clean access to a perfectly legitimate and legal website? Hostway sucks. All companies suck who FAIL to provide clean and clear access to our home made simple websites.

  • thedinoisland TheDinoIsland (@thedinoisland) reported

    @imArshit @HostGator To be honest, I've been getting 500 internal server errors. One rep said it was rare, but I've been getting it pretty consistently and it's not just me. On top of that I purchase an entire year of service to replace my old package & a phone rep charged me 13.99 after the call.

  • obsver38_1 Night_Watchman (@obsver38_1) reported

    @HostGator When are we going to be able to regain access? It appears your server is down?

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    Great @HostGator is down. Hopefully for not too long. :(

  • gardencadet 🌱 selphie @ trabia garden 🌱 (@gardencadet) reported

    Hostgator has been having issues for the past several days... I really need to figure out where to migrate all of my sites.

  • LynchReborn Lynch Gaming || Content Creator (@LynchReborn) reported

    I would self host thru HostGator but my Patreon failed so I have no money to do that. Gotta do some free cloud service for now.

  • MidvanaGroup Midvana (@MidvanaGroup) reported

    @skystracloud my issue is still same not resolved yet still we are facing server down issue too many times in a day @hostgatorindia @HostGator

  • egnsfw Enrique (@egnsfw) reported

    @linaag0ldi Do you need help switching from .shopify to your domain? If you have hostgator, you can tell them to do it.

  • n4_but N4BUT (@n4_but) reported

    @K3TripleR @HostGator @HGSupport DO is good but I found that most hosting services have bad reputation IPs for email. There’s ways around that but again I self host on my work fiber connection gig symmetrical. Got lucky they let me do it. I share my service with them and they save money. I’ve been there 20…

  • ecarlesi Emiliano Carlesi (@ecarlesi) reported

    Possible threat on support-greenstate[.]com #hostgator

  • foerster_bryan Cosmic-books 🇨🇦 (@foerster_bryan) reported

    @wordpressdotcom @WordPress @HostGator Doesn't matter which one I try to backup, as soon as I press a backup, down she goes. I'll try the forum thanks, then it's I guess I hire someone.

  • du_mass92 JL Griffin (@du_mass92) reported

    @HostGator so I switched to HG about a year ago and have had nothing but problems. I switched so i would have less to have to fix by myself and yet every time there's a problem i spend more timer arguing with your incompetent support than if i had admin access to fix it myself..
