  • ReclaimMirth Garrett (@ReclaimMirth) reported

    @HostGator Has it's databases randomly deleted, and then gets run around by support for 1 hour that thinks it is a DNS issue. Then has the audacity to charge me to restore it. HostGator support used to be so good.

  • JulieKubiak Julie Kubiak (@JulieKubiak) reported

    Yo @HostGator I'd love to have one support chat this morning actually turn out please... I have stuff that needs accomplished.

  • SierraTechLLC Robert Rappaport ST (@SierraTechLLC) reported

    Ever since EIG purchased @HostGator it seems @HGSupport no longer helps resellers. I have been a reseller on Hostgator since 2005, and always been able to call Tech Support, & they would assist me immediately. Now there telling me they can't assist, & need to hire Web Developer?

  • ReclaimMirth Garrett (@ReclaimMirth) reported

    Use @HostGator if you want your website databases to disappear randomly one day and have support tell you that you are imagining things!!! This is the most outrageous experience I have had in my 13+ years of using you for my business!!!

  • NancyCWalker Nancy C. Walker 📑📚📷 (@NancyCWalker) reported

    @VictoriaRosePhD I'm using HostGator. Good customer service and reasonable pricing.

  • WarzoneHeatt Jose Angel Linares 🇸🇻 (@WarzoneHeatt) reported

    @HGSupport Got it up & running, you guys do really have the best customer service 🙏🏽

  • JulieKubiak Julie Kubiak (@JulieKubiak) reported

    @HGSupport You have totally annoyed me today. Been in front of my laptop since 10am dealing with issues; 1.5 hrs to fix an error, but the website is now down again. 1 site which has never had a problem, now has an error. At what point are you gonna take responsibility 😡 #PHP

  • SovrumanoBrat SovrumanoBRAT (@SovrumanoBrat) reported

    Actually, I think all of My accounts are hacked. Google, Twitter, Facebook, Paypal, Patreon, TeeSpring, BuyMeACoffee, Hostgator, and whatever else. I think they're hacked by rats. And they've never given Me any paperwork---no liens, judgements--nothing. I hear that they... 👇

  • ashref_c Muhammed Ashref (@ashref_c) reported

    @HostGator Waiting around 40 minutes for reply from your support at live chat

  • markjgardner Mark Gardner (@markjgardner) reported from Houston, Texas

    Tried going down the rabbit hole of getting the @github CLI utility installed on my @HostGator @CentOS 7 VPS without having to build from source. **** it, don’t need it *that* badly.

  • cryptoShields CryptoShields (@cryptoShields) reported

    @ICANN - Is there a way people can report Fraudulent Websites running NFT Scams and have them Shut Down ASAP? @Namecheap and @HostGator seems to be the 2 Favorite providers the Scammers go to.

  • JadeerTK Jadeer Nandi (@JadeerTK) reported

    @BluehostIndia Your VPS is worse than a Hostgator Shared Hosting. Your customer support is even worse. I have contacted 26 times with your chat support in tha past 2 day. Still the issue is not fixed.

  • roberto_bayardo Roberto Bayardo | bayardo.eth (@roberto_bayardo) reported

    @HGSupport Feel free to shoot me a DM and I can provide the traceroute or other info you might need. I've already moved to another hosting provider though after too much finger pointing from previous support calls.

  • bluehost Bluehost (@bluehost) reported

    @mdabukozw @HGSupport @DreamHost Hello! Sinatra should work fine with Ruby, however, we recommend reaching our support team via phone at 888-401-4678 regarding this.

    Very poor Service provider @HostGator .. No Customer Support

  • designbilly Billy Mitchell (@designbilly) reported

    Just told customer support at @HostGator there where wrong when they tried to steer me into using a payed SSL service. I figured out I had to use Run AutoSSL under SSL/TLS in cPanel to get the free Let’s Encrypt working. #webdevelopment

  • franklinveaux franklin veaux (@franklinveaux) reported

    Yeesh. I just accidentally stumbled across an enormous network of thousands of hacked Web sites, many of them hosted by @HostGator, that are being used to distribute macos.bundlore Mac malware and various bits of Windows malware. Working on a blog writeup. #infosec #infosecurity

  • jessemwilliams Jesse Williams (@jessemwilliams) reported

    I did it when working @HostGator. It sucked. Big issue happens when you have 300 employees that have to be on the clock at a given time, 300 employees that stay on the clock until that time, and only 310 desks. Supervisors chew you out for not finding a desk and being on time.

  • cryptoShields CryptoShields (@cryptoShields) reported

    @ICANN @Namecheap @HostGator Great thank you. But in terms of reaction Speed, how can we make sure the Fraudulent Domains are shut down ASAP. Because 1 hr Running is enough to allow them getting away with thousands of dollars.

  • DKDesignStudio DK Design Studio (@DKDesignStudio) reported

    @HGSupport we have been trying to move a domain since the 19th. When we called support, they said it would happen today....6 days later. We called again, they said "You must continue to wait." What is up?

  • blackkingkofi BlackKingKofi (@blackkingkofi) reported

    @HGSupport I don’t need assistance I just wanna let my followers know not to use your ****** service

  • just_a_presence Just Exploring! (@just_a_presence) reported

    @hostgatorindia I had my hosting account badly infected with unknown virus only after hosting at you. I never imagined that shared hosting that big immense at hostgator. I now may lose a lot of client websites that costs thousands. You're solely responsible!

  • kanjuo screwtape (@kanjuo) reported

    @NewfoldDigital @HostGator I have been a loyal customer of Hostgator for 11 years, but its really been painful to watch the degradation of the levels of customer support over the period. I have been confounded by how your support team refuses to take responsibilty.

  • 2010ceo T.J. Dickerman (@2010ceo) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Thanks, after reloading and getting a third support person they were finally able to stick around long enough to figure out the situation.
