    @skystracloud Actually I was totally happy with HostGator's service for years - never had problems But at some stage HG wanted to a high per-site fee for SSL certs when everyone else was offering free certs - so I decided to try SG. In hindsight I probably would've been happier just paying

  • vwmannn Victor Westmann 🇧🇷🇨🇦 (@vwmannn) reported

    @bruh_brigade @AdamIT10 Don't confuse #Hostinger (could be good) with #Hostgator (for sure terrible). Be careful! :-)

  • HunterShaun2 Hunter Shaun (@HunterShaun2) reported

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Maybe you guys retrain the customer support to be aware of their job\

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport I very seriously doubt that since we are here again with the same issue

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @HGSupport The whole hosting is down and your chat support doesn't care.

  • ahmedelsayed739 Ahmed 👌👌 (@ahmedelsayed739) reported

    @WillowBouvier I would actually, @HostGator have been really really helpful if there have been any problems, and they're SW friendly!

  • markjgardner Mark Gardner (@markjgardner) reported from Houston, Texas

    .@jetpack told me my site was down for 12 minutes. This has been happening more often. @HostGator, what’s going on over there? /cc @HGSupport

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

    @HGSupport #31947237 your ‘support’ made changes to our website and now our website no longer works.

  • _LandLordChris LandlordChris (@_LandLordChris) reported

    My due date is 5/13/21, @hostgator charged me early then say I cant cancel the dedicated server. WOW.

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @HGSupport Hostgator, we lost a longstanding client today as a result of your support engineer's unprofessional actions.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator So since noone can ever help, and the problem never ends, we think it is best to file and deal with this in court, we are through losing face with a horrible server network that never knows what is happening and can never help

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

    @HGSupport Now those actions - not authorized by us or our developed - directly caused our website to go down. Please apologize.

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

    @HGSupport We won’t be needing, requiring or ever asking for your help.

  • _mulu morilo (@_mulu) reported

    hey @HostGator I'm trying to access the CPanel from my client area but no success, the button just disappeared. Also tried to open a ticket through the support area and no success too. I have a job to finish, could you cooperate with me, please? @HGSupport @HostGatorBrasil

  • xotified Home Of Jewelry ✨ (@xotified) reported

    @HostGator I have never been as spammed as I've been since giving you my information. I'm averaging 50 calls a day and close to 30 emails. Smh.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator @ID_Theft_Lawyer how much to retain your service to sue @hostgator here

  • Ras_Tin Otaku 🇦🇬 (@Ras_Tin) reported

    Really dislike this new interface your guys rolled out @HostGator. Worst part is I can't rollback to the previous version

  • d_joffe David Joffe ⌨🖌🎨 (@d_joffe) reported

    @skystracloud For their part, SiteGator's support have at least now replied with a fix that looks like it may fix the problem, so am running tests now. I was previously mostly happy with HostGator - so I may try move back to them if things don't settle with SG.

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

    Our site was down today for three hours because @HGSupport Hostgator made changes to it - changes not authorized by us or our developer. @Hostgator offered no apology, provided no fix and gaslighted our developer. Our advice: never use Hostgator if you value your web presence.

  • Chestnut_Foxx Chestnut Foxx - OnlyChestnut.com (@Chestnut_Foxx) reported

    Oh good, my website is down again. What's going on, Hostgator?

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport Still stuck in the never ending chat of issues with someone unqualified to velcro a shoe

  • _LandLordChris LandlordChris (@_LandLordChris) reported

    The @HGSupport sending me a ticket number for Admins to discuss issue. Charge you early then dont let you cancel. Thats shady. Long time customer here too. Shame! @HostGator

  • mrliambi Mr Liambi (@mrliambi) reported

    @HGSupport So it is okay to send / receive spam as long as you pay more. I see... and when exactly did you realize you could monetize this "Bug" I have been an hostgator customer 10 Years, never have I had any trouble with Catch all , until you decided I should pay to enjoy it.

  • edw_yu Edward Yu (@edw_yu) reported

    @SiroCapital What's bad hosting? My site is on HostGator -should I move?

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Dear world of #crypto please avoid this service at all costs

  • t4bacademy Teaching 4 Business (@t4bacademy) reported

    @HGSupport - any idea when your VPS Support team are likely to fix our VPS. We have clients unable to access their email or web sites since Saturday evening, and all support keep saying is "Our VPS Admin are working on it and cannot give an estimated time for fix"!

  • PedroOl39048195 Pedro Oliveira (@PedroOl39048195) reported

    @HostGator someone can help me ? I got charged with a new year subscription automatically without any warning. I want to cancel it and get refounded. Thank you
