    Ok, @HostGator / @HGSupport is absolutely the worst. I’m shocked at how stupid the email answer I just got was, that they dropped a call after an hour and didn’t created a ticket, it’s all lost, and a promise 7 days ago of a supervisor call that hasn’t happened yet. The. Worst.

    @HGSupport @elemntor I wish, anything I touch on the plug in page shuts the site down for maintenance. The site is operating fine but all the plug ins via wordpress are last month already. Gonna keep running until the hackers take over I guess the go WIX.

  • bluehost
    Bluehost (@bluehost) reported

    @PamMktgNut @HostGator Hello Pam, I apologize for any delay. Typical response time for tickets is 24-72 hours on average. They should be reaching out by email with any updates. Is your issue with Bluehost or Hostgator? These are two separate companies with their own systems.

    @linaag0ldi Do you need help switching from .shopify to your domain? If you have hostgator, you can tell them to do it.

  • stevebrazill
    Steve Brazill (@stevebrazill) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator As your own DM states that you’re not a verified channel of support I can’t imagine giving you any details, or that you could actually help. Giving you details about me or my case would be wrong in any security context.

    @HGSupport my site is suddenly down. It was working fine this afternoon. I didn't make any changes or updates, and now I'm getting the ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT message. Help!

    Has @HostGator terminated @HGSupport chat support via Customer portal?

  • PamMktgNut
    Pam Moore (@PamMktgNut) reported

    @Bluehost @hostgator we have a major urgent issue and your support team is telling us it could take 72 hours - I am on support with them now!

  • ethanjaack
    ethan (@ethanjaack) reported

    @TheMentorMogul @HGSupport My recommendation you better go elsewhere. I had bad experience with them in the past and finally I found Asphostportal, I couldn't be happier with these guys.

    @laerm it's a @hgsupport issue they refuse to fix.

    @HostGator your online support system is NOT WORKING. As a customer, I need HELP and I need it NOW. You ******* have my IP address blacklisted.

    @Pipomantis Hostgator. Pas cher, service ok.

  • foerster_bryan
    Cosmic-books 🇨🇦 (@foerster_bryan) reported

    @HGSupport @elemntor It’s up to 8 updates now that won’t update with zero way of figuring out which update is causing the problem. Whenever I try it crashes the site into endless useless maintenance mode. Unless I delete them all but that crashes it as well.

    @SetraHosting @Hostway A friend suggested you might want in on this conversation in some way @HostGator. What is your response to the situation? How does your company treat the disabled and poor regarding this matter?

    Possible threat on support-greenstate[.]com #hostgator

    Incoming terrible opinion. (@laerm) reported

    @keithlaw @HGSupport Wow. That sucks. I'm sorry.

    @LukeDouglas49 @HGSupport @LukeDouglas49 Hello. Our chat support option should be available. If you see see anything different after using a private window, please send us a screenshot of this via DM.

    @burumanet @HGSupport Hi Buruma, we are sorry to hear you are having issues with your website. Can you send us a DM, so we can check the status of your ticket?

    @HostGator What is the point of having web chat if it is as broken as the hosting service that you provide?

    @HostGator so I switched to HG about a year ago and have had nothing but problems. I switched so i would have less to have to fix by myself and yet every time there's a problem i spend more timer arguing with your incompetent support than if i had admin access to fix it myself..

  • foerster_bryan
    Cosmic-books 🇨🇦 (@foerster_bryan) reported

    So I have this @wordpressdotcom webpage with @HostGator and all their plug ins will not update. They send me these updates and I have no choice but to update, so why is the fix placed on me? It’s their plug ins make them work already?

  • foerster_bryan
    Cosmic-books 🇨🇦 (@foerster_bryan) reported

    @HGSupport if all of my plug ins on Wordpress will not update, is this a hosting issue or a Wordpress issue? You know real exotic plug ins like elementor? @elemntor

  • reptoid27
    Reptoid - Independent Content Creator (@reptoid27) reported

    @Quail_Gang @HostGator Will they also take my money and fail to provide clean access to a perfectly legitimate and legal website? Hostway sucks. All companies suck who FAIL to provide clean and clear access to our home made simple websites.

  • TheMentorMogul
    Tanya T. Morris (@TheMentorMogul) reported

    @HGSupport what is going on over there. Can't get anyone on the phone or live chat. Our site is down again you all have to do better.

  • Nnix19
    N nix (@Nnix19) reported

    @HGSupport how do I get into contact with support from the US by phone that can resolve your ongoing issue immediately? Level I has been subpar, and so far we can only communicate with Level III via email.

  • LynchReborn
    Lynch Gaming || Content Creator (@LynchReborn) reported

    I would self host thru HostGator but my Patreon failed so I have no money to do that. Gotta do some free cloud service for now.

  • Nnix19
    N nix (@Nnix19) reported

    @stevebrazill @HGSupport @HostGator We've been having issues since 2/26. It's just stupid that the only level of support you can speak with is level 1, who can do almost zero to help.

  • burumanet
    Buruma (@burumanet) reported

    Recommendations for competitive and reliable hosting companies? Looking for an established company that has been around a while (at least 10 years) and BBB accredited. Looking to jump ship from @HostGator @HGSupport by next week if they don't sort out their server issues.

    I’m about ready to delete my webpage and start from scratch, good grief! It’s not that complicated, fix your update problems so they actually update! You’re wasting my time! Who’s a better alternative than #Wordpress #hostgator #elementor
