  • visualdestini Destini R (@visualdestini) reported

    @HostGator Is the site down? I can't log in.

  • burningvi0lence Aaron (@burningvi0lence) reported

    @HostGator how about you fix your servers that are down instead of posting garbage to social media. just a thought.

  • markjgardner Mark Gardner (@markjgardner) reported

    @i_kolisnyk @HostGator I was looking for a fairly turnkey but sophisticated solution. Didn’t want to spend writing time faffing about with the blogging system. Been down that road before.

  • somedocs Doctors On Social Media (@somedocs) reported from Tenafly, New Jersey

    @JajjaNadia @HostGator It is painful indeed. We are in the process of figuring our next steps. In the interim, we are pained to have to turn to social for help. But that seems to be the only way to restore some function. It’s tough running a digital business in 2021. We r back up and running!

  • franklyankish A n k i s h (@franklyankish) reported

    @HGSupport Improve your third-class class chat-support customer care the fool even does not know how to handle any issues. Let me know How can I renew my expired domain that expired today?

  • samarinamkhan Samar Inam Khan | সমর ইনাম খান (@samarinamkhan) reported

    So, this will be second time I am about to leave GoDaddy, First time they tried to get much more money from me, I was at Hostgator first, though it was better but then few issues, now I have 2 websites at GoDaddy and lose my money, but have no options They reply you in hours

  • DrCorriel Dana Corriel, MD (@DrCorriel) reported

    Currently on phone w /customer service. It’s a full-on “Who’s on First” skit. @HostGator switched files in my cpanel last night, after a call to customer support. As a result, 2 websites went down. Today: we need to charge you $ for a website restore. Can’t make this up. 2/

  • mrliambi Mr Liambi (@mrliambi) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport After investigating I see you have a company called Hostgator India , in karnataka mangalore? (Where the intruding Ip is from) Would you please ask your support staff over there not to login without authorization? Thanks.

  • DedusmulnTXT dedusmuln (@DedusmulnTXT) reported

    @DickHelicopter extreme 00s energy everybody gangsta until your favourite mario fansite goes down and its either hostgator (and youre an eastern european who barely speaks english and has no idea whats going on) or tiddies

  • JajjaNadia Nadia Jajja (@JajjaNadia) reported

    @somedocs @HostGator I see your tweets and it seems quite painful. Do you have a lot of traffic, can you not pull out of this service? If it’s not working, it’s not working. How is it affecting your work?

  • amankhanna22 aman khanna (@amankhanna22) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia AFTER A 10 year connect with hostgator. with more than 20 websites hosted, i finally get hacked on my tourwala server. malware has infected my sites and no support has been offered is it time to switch ? pls call 9811612412

  • DrCorriel Dana Corriel, MD (@DrCorriel) reported

    @HGSupport An “escalation” has already been performed. Doesn’t make any of this better. When a client’s business goes down, esp when they’ve spent years building it up, it can feel like an eternity to have to “wait” for a fix. Communicating via email to fix prob of this magnitude is not ok.

  • AssayDigest AssayDigest (@AssayDigest) reported

    💥WEBSITE ISSUE💥 Our apologies to all our visitors. Escalated Tech support at @HostGator emailed to say they worked on an issue that turned out to completely destroy the look, feel and navigation of our website. Hopefully they will priotise and correct the mess asap. @HGSupport

  • AdvisorLaborLaw Labour Law Advisor 🇮🇳 (@AdvisorLaborLaw) reported

    Starting a new business? Take my advice never take hosting from @HostGator, even if they give it for free 😠

  • 0Teacherbot2 TeacherBot2.0 (@0Teacherbot2) reported

    @HGSupport That's good. I won't call now, but glad to know there is phone support. Actually I'm trying to pay for HostGator right now and it does not go through plus my captcha verification keeps running out while the progress bar goes on and on and on. Ideas?

  • JulicePerpetual Julice Perpetual (@JulicePerpetual) reported

    Just to be sure, a member of the HostGator support staff, not our staff!

  • istacku Matt Mercurio (@istacku) reported

    @HostGator can someone please help me get a refund. I have contacted through email and have yet to get a response

  • coffeeAndNextJs sb (@coffeeAndNextJs) reported

    @HGSupport @shaunoconnor1 @HostGator oh crap I think it's my fault. I had changed my cpanel password over the weekend. That's the same p/w as what the mysql db's take right ?

  • ThePhilEmery The Phil Emery (@ThePhilEmery) reported

    @HGSupport Hey is your support system down?

  • johngutters Johngutters (@johngutters) reported

    Um crying like a lil *****!! After 2 years of late nights developing creating and publishing my websites someone hack my HostGator server and destroy all my work. I was cheap and didn't pay the millions of dollars they ask 😔 FML in the blink of and eye. **** HostGator

  • kapilljain kapil jain (@kapilljain) reported

    All my websites are down and no response, worst service It is down for almost half an hour and and support says will be down till mid night today This is pathetic, how can you repay the losses? @HostGator @hostgator @hostgatorindia

  • DrCorriel Dana Corriel, MD (@DrCorriel) reported

    The absurdity of the situation is this: I called @Hostgator for a totally DIFFERENT problem w/a website that was at least working - albeit needed some change. They created a totally NEW problem for my two other websites that now needs to be fixed. 3/

  • shezee611 Khurram Shahzad (@shezee611) reported

    @HostGator Please hire a good customer service and experts of hosting. At the moment completely useless team. One of my subdomain is down from last 7 hours no one responded to my ticket yet.

  • HostGator HostGator (@HostGator) reported

    @FranciscoFlora3 @FranciscoFlora3 OoO No! that's not good at all. Hostgator takes all credit card type; however, we normally see issues with pre-paid cards. Do you have PayPal? Send us a DM and we'll walk you through it. -Chelli

  • esli_nux Esli Silva 🐧 💻 🥋 🇧🇷 (@esli_nux) reported from Guarulhos, São Paulo

    @HostGator for not have wordpress/hosting problems: stay away of hostgator

  • 0Teacherbot2 TeacherBot2.0 (@0Teacherbot2) reported

    @HostGator How is your customer service? Do you have phone support for when those one million FAQs and forum pages don't answer the question?

  • SardarMandokhel Sardar Hayaat Mandokhel (@SardarMandokhel) reported

    @HGSupport its very annoying that your chat support has never been supportive never provided me any solution, having no choice i always make direct calls to ur contact +1 7135745287 which lasts for almost half an hour to give very basic support while my ph bill is multiplying

  • franklyankish A n k i s h (@franklyankish) reported

    @HGSupport Need help as still could not find it.

  • redrockrick CEO of Cancun 👊 (@redrockrick) reported

    @RyanNegri I think you would have to work with someone like GoDaddy or Hostgator. I think that they can contact that person and negotiate for you. I pay $4.99 per year for a url auction service from GoDaddy, but I’m not sure what it includes

  • secb0t secb0t (@secb0t) reported

    @HostGator @bluehost The following website is sent out via #phishing emails and hosted by one of you: hxxps://wishboneventures[.]com It is used to redirect to different #phishing sites and was reported a while ago. Please take it down.
