    @HGSupport Whom i can really contact to restore my website from cPanel? It's been 5 days since my website is down and no one willing to help.

  • NosnasMarketing Nosnas Marketing (@NosnasMarketing) reported

    Update: @HGSupport addressed my concerns and under 15 minutes, domains are active. Sucks that it took longer than expected.

  • mgaak1dev MK - WordPress Nomad (@mgaak1dev) reported

    @webhoststartups I rate hostgator as one of the worst webhost.

  • zoomnclick Feroz Khan (@zoomnclick) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport why is my email constantly down. This is the 3rd time in less than 3 months!! I am not paying for your server teams to try and discover what the problem is AFTER I report the issue. Where are your proactive monitoring measures??

  • THRIBREED Odiaka Emmanuel (@THRIBREED) reported

    SOLUTION Wait! I've got a solution to your problem. Changing your hosting company to a reliable one will save you from this mess. I can recommend some fantastic hosting companies for you (Hostgator, Interserver,.e.t.c.)

  • Tochicreatesart Onwuka Tochukwu (@Tochicreatesart) reported from Abuja, Federal Capital Territory

    @HostGator has the best customer service and Tech Support. Resolved my wp-admin problem and were pretty nice. #wordpresswebsite #HOSTING #techie

  • knoumas em (@knoumas) reported

    @HGSupport I want to report a scam you’re hosting service is hosting. Please reach out to me

  • milanko_katic Digital Entrepreneur (@milanko_katic) reported

    Of course, you need to be careful with howyou present your HostGator offer, as freelancing platforms won't look always look too kindly at your UPSELLS. I've got several hundred referrals over 3 years and never had issues. You just need to be SMART about it.

  • charafmrah Charaf (@charafmrah) reported

    I left Hostgator for good. I had a great experience with them overall, but as soon as I wanted to leave, their support was terrible. They kept wasting my time by trying to convince me to stay even though I told them no explicitly and that I was busy.

  • robeisses Robert Eisses (@robeisses) reported

    @HGSupport and @HostGator ... when you say respond 24-48hrs. it would be nice to actually do it. #FAIL #support

  • zoomnclick Feroz Khan (@zoomnclick) reported

    @HGSupport it's not and it hasn't been an individual customer issue. If you look at all the previous instances, it's been EXIM server issues on your side

  • guztavogonzalez Gustavo González Acevedo (@guztavogonzalez) reported

    @HGSupport help

  • zoomnclick Feroz Khan (@zoomnclick) reported

    @HGSupport Fourth outage in a week. Each support ticket I raise takes an average of 30 mins for me to get a resolution for the same issue each time. I'm done. Please let me know which team is responsible for account refunds

  • QtipBailey Everett Bailey (@QtipBailey) reported

    @HGSupport What's the status of Ticket number 39295338? ALL my email accounts are still failing login. Is it just me or is there a known issue?

  • mgaak1dev MK - WordPress Nomad (@mgaak1dev) reported

    @webhoststartups Server response time is very poor for hostgator, I have used hosgator too for years.

  • niambi0619 نعمبي أسانتيوا (@niambi0619) reported

    @HGSupport And what's up with the email? It's not working either. You really REALLY need to get it together!

  • RFPhotog Robert Fisher (@RFPhotog) reported

    Ready to shitcan @bluehost for my site hosting (Wordpress). Used HostGator previously. Anyone got any good recommendations for #Wordpress hosting that offer passable tech support?

  • Rifat5670 Rifat Ahmed (@Rifat5670) reported

    Dear @HostGator Day 1: Support says they'll fix it D2: They disable plugins, screws up my site. I spend the whole day fixing it D3: They tell me to upgrade to a costlier package, which I knew was unnecessary D4: I go to a friend. He fixes it in literally 40s Hire competent staff

  • Eight261 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (@Eight261) reported

    @HostGator is cpanel has been down for some time now. Any update??? #hostgator #cpanel

  • AlvaroFerreiraO Alvaro Ferreira 🇲🇽 (@AlvaroFerreiraO) reported

    @HostGator we have problems with server down, Tech support is the worst... no reply, no answer, just wait and wait, spending a lot of time for nothing, and our business going down, thanks to you... Im really dissapointed.

  • hectormainar Héctor Mainar (@hectormainar) reported

    @HGSupport Yes, but it is not available for reseller accounts. Confirmed in two different conversations with your support team that they are not able to install it, and that I would have to wait until your official upgrade for those servers, with no estimated time.

  • debra_w_hughes Debra White Hughes (@debra_w_hughes) reported

    @HGSupport @HGSupport your support really is hopeless. Have been in chat over 30 minutes now and have been given a link to irrelevant info. 30 minutes wasted. What happened to yr previous intelligent & helpful support team?

  • boulle_ang Angela Boulle (@boulle_ang) reported

    @HGSupport Please assist, beyond desperate. Our website has been down for 4 (!!!) days. Our developer has contacted support every 3 hours since Tues and our backup folders still not uploaded. We are losing business plus massive reputational damage. Our ticket number is 39332050.

  • Yamaha_FZ09 Yamaha_FZ09 (@Yamaha_FZ09) reported

    @HostGator is absolutely awful. Slowest webpage loading times, completely garbage hosting, their interface is not intuitive, and worst of all they sold my data and now I get 20 some spam calls a day. Eat my ***

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @Yamaha_FZ09 Hello Yamaha, Hostgator does not sell our customers data. We're sorry to hear you're having issues with load time, please send us a DM and we'll be happy to help you with getting to the bottom of this.

  • niambi0619 نعمبي أسانتيوا (@niambi0619) reported

    @HGSupport What in the world have you all done?! Remember, support is 24/7 and I just called to get tech support and you're only open M-F, from 8-5? Are you kidding me?
