  • motikharel Moti Kharel (@motikharel) reported

    @ionos_com worst web hosting, no cPanel, none of the file and folder are uploaded with correct file permission. Pay little extra a go to Hostgator.

  • Loravara Lora (@Loravara) reported

    I grabbed a domain and hosting at Hostgator, and I'm already having trouble. It says to configure my name server, and I follow their instructions, but I don't see what they're talking about. Is it a JAWS issue? This is not a good way to start.

  • seanspratt Sean Spratt (@seanspratt) reported

    @HostGator you *really* need your browser based live chat support to have a sound notification feature. It's impossible to multi-task while working with live chat without any sound notifications. Bad for your CSRs and bad for customers.

  • ZineDigi digiDZine Creative (@ZineDigi) reported

  • Imafia97 Mohit Bhatia (@Imafia97) reported

  • IndStockInvest India Stock Investing (@IndStockInvest) reported

    @bluehost @bluehostsupport i bought a domain and hosting from you yesterday. There were some cloudflare issues where one of your agent messed it up. The site is still not up. Your 24/7 chat nobody responds either. I am so disappointed. I should have stayed with @HostGator

  • AnujKum25040178 Anuj Nagar (@AnujKum25040178) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia you have the most untrained customer support. Call time is limited to 30 mins and your Exective takes 15 mins to understand the issue and put on hold for next 15 mins. I have made 15 calls in last week but issue isn’t resolved yet

  • technolass Caroline Toews (@technolass) reported

    @Loravara We're with Hostgator right now and haven't had problems with it in terms of adding email accounts or Wordpress installations. Previously we were with Dreamhost, and they were fabulous until they started forcing their anty-spam stuff on us rather than letting us do it ourselves.

  • DoubtNQuestion Progressively Disgusted Elizabeth (@DoubtNQuestion) reported

    Sooo disappointed I switched from HostGator to @bluehost BH has been nothing but problems since I signed up. Extra charges & unable to access my web-builder. Chat support worthless. Finally able to call in & they act like they're doing me a favor fixing what they screwed up.

  • VeniceSprings Ruster (@VeniceSprings) reported

    @letsencrypt I'm not sure whats up but for a few months now my certificate has not been working. hostgator took a look, customer said they fixed it but it still isn't working on my side in any of my browsers, and friends said its not working on their side either. not sure what ive done

  • SharitaMH2 Sharita M. Humphrey, CFEI (@SharitaMH2) reported

    @HGSupport If your calls are recorded then you will be able to clearly hear your rep state that the issue that happened today was due to the ball being dropped on your end. I would like this issue investigated.

  • dantediakos Danté Diákos Fillyau (@dantediakos) reported

    @HostGator you have just lost a faithful client since 2008. In the past 10 days multiple sites have been down because of your internal server errors. Moving allllll my sites within the next 2 months.

  • SandhyaXYZ Sandhya ᴿᵃᵃᵃ ᴬᵍᵉⁿᵗ 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 (@SandhyaXYZ) reported

    @HostGator What happened to Austin Data Centre? I'm unable to contact support. always throwing error "We are facing issues in accessing the services hosted in our Austin Data center."

  • JabronieRamone Eric Denton (@JabronieRamone) reported

    @keithlaw @sixelmike @HGSupport Same issue. Site won’t load on iPhone at least

  • ontopdownunder1 ontopdownunder (@ontopdownunder1) reported

    @DigitalPacific I joined you to get away from HostGator and the conglomerate that owns them, this is a bad joke

  • Rebunkedpod Rebunked (@Rebunkedpod) reported

    @HostGator Everyone I talk to there seems to have a different story and nobody seems to really understand what's going on or seems to care about the issue. There is a severe communication barrier, and I don't know what to do. Considering legal action at this point.

  • Rebunkedpod Rebunked (@Rebunkedpod) reported

    @HostGator Hey Hostgator, I am at a loss of what to do with this point. I have spoken to customer support maybe 10 times over the course of the last two weeks. My website got deleted by somebody at hostgator and nobody can tell me what the problem is. I'm losing tons of money and customers.

  • MluhyaOnline Mluhya Online (@MluhyaOnline) reported

    @HostGator your services have become bad and sh*t compared to last 5 years. Fix or migration happens.

    @2Goodtoknow @HostGator True. Without digital and content marketing - the content will never be read.

  • SCUncensored Gellman (@SCUncensored) reported

    @WrestlingTradi2 I had the same issue with my site earlier this week. Are you with Hostgator?

  • jjrruiz Juan José Ruiz (@jjrruiz) reported

    @HGSupport Is it possible to prioritize this issue, please? Please understand it's a really really urgent issue. It's #phishing which was reported a month ago (May 12th). Currently it continues stealing banking credentials from customers and is necessary to stop it as soon as possible.

  • mm_mmm mike mcghee | BLM | #ECCC '22 | commissions open (@mm_mmm) reported

    @bySeronita @Orbitaldropkick @_Godotto Currently paying $14/month with dreamhost, which has gone up over the years (domain reg is now $20 with them). Will probably just plunk down a few hundred with hostgator for the $4/month promo soon. Those are base rates since i have ~no~ traffic There's also wix/squarespace etc

  • macelus Marcelus Modesto (@macelus) reported

    @HGSupport I ALREADY TRIED TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM 5 TIMES, I JUST GAVE UP AND I'M CHANGING PLATFORM

  • HeathDingwell Heath Dingwell (@HeathDingwell) reported from Port Saint Lucie, Florida

    @HostGator Your chat support down? Tried a couple of times now to speak with someone - get a message saying I’ll be connected to an agent within 5 minutes, and yet no one ever shows up. Need to renew my domain, but portal says my domain has been deleted. How’s that happen?

  • SspVidushi Vidushi Infotech SSP Pvt. Ltd (@SspVidushi) reported

    @HGSupport we raise more than 4 tickets on HostGator last few weeks and yet not get a resolution on that, we follow up with the support team, and we got the typical answer " our admin working on it and they will send an update on mail" . no one takes this on high priority.
