Hostgator Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Egerton Sinclair (@Eg_a_Sinclair) reported@HGSupport nearly 24 hours later and issue still not resolved, spoke to Agent Cherry today who had said sites should be ok by 8am. It’s now 8pm.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@dcodrea We know that popup looks sketchy, but it isn’t from your HostGator site; it’s a browser extension (Coupert) injecting coupon ads over your dashboard. Try incognito or another browser; if it’s gone, remove the extension. If not, support can help!
-
Zara_Schneider (@ZSchneider76107) reported@voytekbereza @HostGator Sounds like a deployment or script loading issue. This is where stable infrastructure and proper server setup really make a difference.
-
Rad Web Hosting (@RadWebHosting) reported@ZennieAbraham62 @HGSupport A better question is why does this process even require support, or for you to request it, then escalate your request? Automated SSL installs, renewals and replacements at $0 for life or ****!!!
-
Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reportedDay 3 of @HGSupport / @HostGator tech support. Still no solutions in sight. The most obvious on the 1st day would be to reset from their end and give me the info my ftp client needs to connect, but no. Day 3
-
John Anthony (@johnanthony33) reportedAfter 23 years being a customer of @HostGator they recently deleted/lost all database content for 4 sites during a hosting renewal. In an attempt to get a refund I got a runaround from with 3 different companies including #BlueHost and #Network Solutions. No refund yet.
-
Shawn Brown (@shawnbb13827) reported@HostGator I've been on the phone with your so called Customer Support. Straight useless. It would probably help if they spoke true American language, but like every other call center - your **** is all outsourced!
-
Techbit (@AkramInamdar4) reportedHosting a website shouldn’t cost a fortune. With @hostgator, you get: Unlimited storage & bandwidth Free domain & SSL certificate 24/7 support Starting at just $2.95/month
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@FeoAmante @HostGator Hey, Feo. We'd like to look further into this and get your site back online. Please send us a DM with any open (or closed) ticket IDs related to this issue, and we'd be happy to assist you from there.
-
Kurian OS (@Achayan) reported@HostGator That's crazy, if we have some issues which we can't resolve through the online chat, then there is no way to contact a authoritative person ?. I guess I need to look in to other hosting options then..
-
dana o (@danaoren) reported@HostGator is down for Rogers clients in Canada. Question is, who is at fault?
-
Infogate (@infogatecl) reported@HostGator We don’t need to talk with a 🤖 we need server working well and reboot our website! Awful service! #hostgatorisbad
-
Nicky D COYR! (@nick_donellan) reported@HGSupport our email server is running incredibly slow. Do you have an ETA on the fix for this?
-
Mehul Mukati (@mehulmukati) reportedhey @BigRockIndia its not fair that you sneak in add-ons at time of domain renewal without my explicit permission. In the last 13-14 years with @hostgatorindia @HGSupport I have never once faced such behaviour. I for sure will be out from your system soon.
-
Steve Mulls (@mulls2go) reported@HGSupport Issue is back again.
-
Makarand Mane | Organising #WCAsia 2026 (@mkrndmane) reportedDear @HostGator I am using your reseller hosting for more than 9 year & your @HGSupport quality is now gone down to dumb level. Seating for 2 hours on chat & no resolution yet. Your novice agent is not able to understand issue even after 2 hours. @NewfoldDigital
-
Brenton Bostick (@halting_brenton) reported@HGSupport I'm trying to buy a new domain. I agreed to terms of service and clicked Checkout Now. And nothing happens.
-
I REFUSE (@seanrogers8) reported@HGSupport @HostGator @spamhaus Your tech support sucks. They have been working on it for 2 days. My company email still doesn't work!! If your employees were competent your service would work
-
Oscar Múgica ن (@oscarmugica389) reported@HGSupport Is down right now says: It is not just you. The server is not responding...

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 ?

Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reportedRocketship SEO Plugin: We have identified a memory handling issue with our plugin that appears to largely impact Yoast users on Bluehost (though not HostGator which is the same company) and could impact other shared hosting environments. in 100% of cases we've investigated the issue goes away in a few hours as memory used subsides. You might get an error immediately after activating the plugin that says there has been a critical error on the site. Your site and Admin area are fine though you may not be able to edit plugins / posts / pages, this is the memory issue manifesting itself. You might also get a report emailed by WordPress saying the issue was caused by @Yoast using too much memory, but it is our plugin causing the problem not Yoast. Our best guess at the moment is that this error is caused by our compatibility settings with Yoast which is performed automatically upon install and activation. We are looking at making this process more efficient and improving our compatibility so sites in shared environments like Bluehost do not encounter this issue.

Lucho Señal⚡️ (@Luchocalabera) reported@HostGator @_CooLesT_ My website are all down.... No access at all yo any domain
-
coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedThe worst web and email hosting provider is Hostgator. They suspend user accounts without warning. Their censorship policy is arbitrary allowing no clear definition of policy. Your opinion is not allowed on your own web site! #scam #HostGatorSux
-
OkYall (@okyall55) reported@Hostgator, unbeknownst to me, no longer provide, free backups. Had I known this, I certainly would have moved my blog much, much sooner to @BlueHost who provides it DAILY for a free with a $0 restore fee. You have lost your customer service score but your bottom line may have increased TEMPORARILY. Now that I've been forced to review my choice of hosting services for all my blogs and websites, I also have learned that they have almost 10 points higher ratings than you and are a fraction of how much you charge. Why on earth would anybody pay more, get less, and risk loss? Since I have suffered from your lack of customer care, I will be moving my blogs. Do not touch them again until I have gotten all of my content removed

Eder (@Eder55164219) reported@HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number

Juan luis | JLP (@juanluis_JLP) reportedIs Hostgator down for anyone? my sites are down all of the sudden and their support agent doesn't seem to find the issue.
-
Noise Return (@NoiseReturn) reported@HGSupport @HostGator I have called multiple times about an issue and no one on the phone has been able to help me. Your website says you have 24/7 support but it's actually just under Eastern time business hours. Your live chat feature is broken. I'm really disappointed.
