  • KenyansOnReddit Kenyans On Reddit 🇰🇪 (@KenyansOnReddit) reported from Nairobi District, Nairobi

    🡆 1 point Other than "patriotism" do you have any reason to use a Kenyan host. I've had major problems with at least 3 "leading" Kenyan hosts that i decided to only use AWS, Linode and Hostgator (for basic sites). The main problem with Kenyan hosts is poor support and

  • shwetaRkumbhare SHWETA R KUMBHARE (@shwetaRkumbhare) reported

    What I meant; how many of you’re happy with #hostgator support or am I the only one here regretting after buying web hosting from hostgator. #pathetichoatgator pathetic to shift from US to Indian server, despite eligible for moneyback policy @hostgator #hostgatorindia

  • 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?

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @awaisjaved18 @HostGator @awaisjaved18 If live support is asking you to send an email that would mean you have an existing ticket number, correct? Otherwise they wouldn't instruct you to do something you cannot do. Send us your ticket number in a DM if you've already replied and we'll take a look.

  • 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.

  • IrisApablaza88 Iris Apablaza (@IrisApablaza88) reported

    @HGSupport any help here...

  • awaisjaved18 awaisjaved (@awaisjaved18) reported

    @HostGator don't purchase any VPS from @HostGator they did not have any Ngnix server support they ask you again and again to contact you but no response from their @HGSupport.

  • warengonzaga Waren Gonzaga (@warengonzaga) reported

    Why your servers so slow? @HostGator?

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    6:30a Talking with @HostGator about Client282's backup restore. Their twitter support seems good--now we wait for the restore.

  • vwmannn Victor Westmann 🇧🇷🇨🇦 (@vwmannn) reported

    @MissBethHavenx Run away from Hostgator. Unless your website only has css html and JS and you don't mind talking to the hostgator support once a week. #serious #noGo #runForrestRun

    @Beruud @HostGator Why are you ******* surprised. We told you they were garbage! Talk to Jacob tomorrow, he will know of a good hosting service.

  • The2ndReview The 2nd Review (@The2ndReview) reported

    @Beruud @HGSupport Don't mean to beat the dead horse, but... told you. Should of never went with them

  • producerly Cameron Kootz (@producerly) reported

    @HGSupport Explain to anyone reading why Hostgator gave our domain to a 3rd party, without our consent - subsequently, explain why we couldn't add our contact details to our acct, and why still, to this day, we cannot move our domain to Google but can to Launchpad (your internal service)

  • anzilone Mohammed Anzil (@anzilone) reported

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

    @LavishQueenMuse @ElenaDeLuca I also don't use Hostgator anymore. I found their support to be hugely lacking in... support.

  • saurkhan7 Saurabh Khandelwal (@saurkhan7) reported

    @hostgatorindia it is more than 7 days and my query is not yet resolved. Pathetic service from @HGSupport. Please dont use their service. My case id is 31040281 @HostGator

  • awaisjaved18 awaisjaved (@awaisjaved18) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I need level 2 support for Ngnix configuration but no one have enough knowledge and alway ask to send you email for support

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • BajanMonster Bajan Monster (@BajanMonster) reported

    @HostGator anyone else have refund issues with Hostgator? still awaiting a $300 refund since February! Had numerous tickets sent but no reply

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    7p Client282's website is down. They are @Hostgator hosted, and not current on my maintenance plan. Nevertheless, working with Hostgator in getting it reported and restored.
