  • 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.

  • diganta_sircar Diganta Sircar (@diganta_sircar) reported

    I am really thankful to @ResellerClub and @HGSupport for providing excellent support to resolve the genuine issue …However the @Globe_Host is equally non-cooperative in resolving the genuine issue…it is frustrating and disappointing to do hosting at this company servers…

  • macelus Marcelus Modesto (@macelus) reported

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

  • abhishekdgeek Abhishek Jain (@abhishekdgeek) reported

    @HGSupport I got 1 month credit but that's not something I need. I want the 99.9% uptime promise. Customer care gives random excuses like: 1. N/W connectivity issue at server. 2. DDoS attack . I asked for you to move me to some other server but request is not answered and ticket is closed!

  • osas_engr CryptoSmart (@osas_engr) reported

    @HostGator I don't want to be harsh but I have an issue that has not been resolved for the past 48 hours and it doesn't tell good of your service. I have spoken to more than 6 customer agent and submitted all necessary documents yet no results and is affecting my busines #badcustomerservice

  • abhishekdgeek Abhishek Jain (@abhishekdgeek) reported

    @nilanjanakcs @HostGator @HGSupport +1. They have broken the trust of 3 years. They won't refund for remaining period if I chose to cancel my services with them.

  • Imafia97 Mohit Bhatia (@Imafia97) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport Kindly look in to the matter and resolve the issue at your earliest convenince. I know it's not a big issue for you guys, if you guys really want a happy customer.

  • abhishekdgeek Abhishek Jain (@abhishekdgeek) reported

    @dantediakos @HGSupport +1. They have broken the trust of 3 years. They won't refund for remaining period even if I chose to cancel my services with them. Support will just waste your time. @EigGroup does that to every company they take over!

  • abhishekdgeek Abhishek Jain (@abhishekdgeek) reported

    @HGSupport If you really want to help, make sure someone reviews the lame excuses your team makes to close on cases.

  • kinkofdalovelys kinkofthelovelies (@kinkofdalovelys) reported

    just saying because i JUST noticed, adding the social login to @hostgator was probably the worst idea ever.

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

    lol @bluehost just lost $18,000/year. I've used @HostGator for so many things, always hated it, but it worked... Tonight's issue just tripped the trigger, moving the websites I manage to my colo.

  • 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.

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Your support chat said there was no PHP8…

  • tazmahan Panos (@tazmahan) reported

    @HGSupport We did and the response was to send a mail to the recipient that couldn't receive it and that it did pass your mailgates without any problem. But the issue is that spf dns queries are still more than 10 when using hostgator's suggested spf record.

  • VmiProductions Christian O'Brien (@VmiProductions) reported

    @HostGator I have no backend access- can you either fix the issues I have repeatedly as for or give me my money back so I can move to a decent hosting company

  • 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.

  • LeelaWelch Leela Welch (@LeelaWelch) reported

    First step is figuring out why my @WordPress website stopped working about a month ago. I can't even access the admin login page. @HostGator

  • TheCEOViews The CEO Views (@TheCEOViews) reported

    @hostgatorindia We are facing problems since 2 months and not resolved yet, very unhelpful and inexperienced support team @HGSupport @hostgatorindia. I will highly recommend not to use these scammers. Over all experience pathetic.#Unreliable, #dontusehostgator #fake

  • TheCEOViews The CEO Views (@TheCEOViews) reported

    @HostGator is doing completely scam, and they are not providing what they have promised. Their whole system is awaful. We are facing problems since two months and still not resolved but geting fake assuranse that it will be resoved soon. Our whole business is on stake.

  • ScottDimmich Scott Dimmich (@ScottDimmich) reported

    Web developers: has anyone had luck in running Python or PHP cron jobs on a @HostGator server? They say it's executing, but the test commands (email, save a file) in my scripts don't work. Their support on this is weak. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! @HGSupport #webdevelopment
