  • IdeasApatridas Ideas Apátridas (@IdeasApatridas) reported

    @HostGator Since I upgraded from my shared server to a VPS server I have been having issues with it. I receive emails saying I have malwares on one of the sites, still you deactivate all my 34 sites and it is really annoying because my sites need to be working all the time. Need a solution.

  • wrightmentality Marcus A. Wright, LLC (@wrightmentality) reported

    @HostGator multiple calls in 48 hours website still down and just keep getting the run around, @GoDaddy is the better company and customer service to work with, at least they get your website back up instead of the run around
