    @HGSupport Is anyone there anymore? FTP is still broken.....

  • XaviNoWoke
    Xavi Fiu Fiu™ (@XaviNoWoke) reported

    @HGSupport I already did everything you asked, the domain is still free in Whois and I still can't use my hosting. And I've already wasted a lot of time talking to support so they always tell me that they can't do anything.

  • DoubtNQuestion
    Progressively Disgusted Elizabeth (@DoubtNQuestion) reported

    @HGSupport If it's so crucial why does your dept make such gross errors? It's not a virtual or prepaid card. It's a physical American Express card. How can I work with the incompetence when I don't feel comfortable disclosing more info to a Co. that can't get something that basic right?

    Hi @HostGator when I asked you about the characteristics of your services, responded quickly. Now that I have purchased them and I have problems, do not attend me.

    @officialskgupta @HGSupport @hostgatorindia They are not going to resolve the issue for you. Their hosting goes down every day at least twice by default. Hostgator India is one of the worst hosting possible. I am chasing them for the last 2 months. No solution till now.

    @Sameeh_Azam @HostGator @hostgatorindia is the worst possible hosting. All my sites go down at least twice a day without fail. and that too for more than 30 minutes.

    Remember, never never buy web spaces from @GoDaddy , 30 mins and no one answers chat and even the calls. Itne mein i made khichdi, kahwa, and even watched a saas bahu episode.. Go for @HostGator

  • XaviNoWoke
    Xavi Fiu Fiu™ (@XaviNoWoke) reported

    @HostGator Hello, I bought one of your plans and the domain that I prepaid was not assigned to me. Your technicians just tell me to wait and don't solve my problem.

  • orangecomma
    Denis Warburton (@orangecomma) reported

    @HGSupport Is anyone there anymore??? FTP is still broken... and it’s not because of any disk space issues on MY end. I need someone who can actually help, and the last support person I waited an hour for wasn’t that. Really wish you all hadn’t gotten rid of tickets....

    @NANHEGUJRAL @HostGator Same here. The site goes down everyday. And they will give a generic response. Pathetic service.

    @HostGator @HGSupport I never asked for a customization at all. This, for the first time since 2010, has become a wordgame. In the past, HostGator has "done something" to repair corrupted database tables. That is what I thought I was paying $325 a month for, and HostGator helped.

    @HostGator what’s going on over there? Why do I keep getting errors on receiving and sending emails. I have Gmail, Yahoo and AOL accounts and none of them are failing. Only my 3 HostGator accounts. @HGSupport

    John Pullum (@JohnPullum) reported

    @HostGator It's bad when you call tech support and their phone connections aren't working well. I'm hearing every other word. I called back and got the same person with the same bad connection. No, it's not my connection because I hear the automated portion just fine. #hostgator

    @HGSupport Thanks for the direct message. Is there anything you can do to speed up the process, waiting "24-48 hours" for a support person to look at rebooting our servers seems a very long time - especially for critical servers.

    Ok @HostGator @HGSupport never had rude responses from anyone before. Drake just sent a real nasty one. Don't know what is going on.

    @HostGator @HGSupport is the worst hosting platform. I bought a new domain with them and next thing is my account is suspended for no reason. Disgusting

    @HostGator We have plenty of websites on your hosting that’s not working and are being redirected. Unfortunately we can’t get through to your “support”. We will be moving from you soon.

    @HostGator Your support is horrible and one can hardly get a conclusive answer and you do shift deadlines , my very good friend asked for a refund in eaet January and they said it will be done in 7-10 business days and after they did not refund they started saying they are escalating it

    @HostGator @HGSupport This is 3rd day I am trying to renew my domain and I have no options loading. Your team is really working behind the issue? #hostgator #support

    Hey @HostGator more than 24 hours and your team dont fix my ticket, this is unacceptable. 😩

    Hey @HostGator does your customer service exist? Do you have reps that actually know what they’re doing?! This is ridiculous.

  • t4bacademy
    Teaching 4 Business (@t4bacademy) reported

    @HGSupport - any idea when our web and mail servers will be back up and running. They have been down for over 9 hours so far, and support chat can't help, saying it needs to be Admin Support who reboot the server. The problem is there is no way to contact Admin Support.

    @HostGator Services are down again.
