  • DavidJay1965 David Jay (@DavidJay1965) reported

    @HGSupport Please call me immediately at 661-478-4700. My email is broken!

  • DianePatterson Diane Patterson (@DianePatterson) reported

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

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HostGator Almost 48 hours of my site being down. Not a good look. Went to sleep w it working fine, wake up to blank screen. You want to charge me $25 for a restore of something I didnt brake. Your chat always says "5 min" but takes 20-60 min for someone to enter. Case 43267537.

  • NoKoolAide Walmart Hillbilly (@NoKoolAide) reported

    @HostGator Literally the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. Save your money and your sanity.

  • 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.

  • diegotaube Diego Taube (@diegotaube) reported

    @HGSupport your support is a joke! After 2 full working days the problem is still there. I cannot send/receive emails. Once I login to the control panel i cannot access to the email accounts. The answer that i got is that filters blocking my outgoing mails.

  • ReedChristian Christian Reed (@ReedChristian) reported

    @HGSupport @PictureTheSouth Just fix it! Sites down for 72 hours last time and now it's down again for 24 so far. Message that we may experience 30min to MAX 2 hrs. Worst hosting experience in 20 yrs by far

  • DeadMan_DDProds Dead (@DeadMan_DDProds) reported

    @HGSupport I can't access the Customer Portal, and the Live Chat support just loads forever

  • 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?

  • ShanethaTech ShanethaTechnologies (@ShanethaTech) reported

    @HGSupport Our Site has been down for more than 12 hours. Contacted support 11 times. They told 30 min to 1 hr. Its been 3 hrs, still no solution. It is a creating a critical impact to my business.
