  • 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.

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

    @NickMilo Everything on the web my friend. Except hostgator and godaddy. They're also terrible.

  • ahmedelsayed739 Ahmed 👌👌 (@ahmedelsayed739) reported

    @HostGator The worst server ever, can you imagine your emails stopping suddenly for 10 days! HostGator, never trust this server, their technical support is so weak 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

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

  • amgdev Andrea Gibbens (@amgdev) reported

    @natmiletic @kvncnls The white screen of death happened only after being on the phone with HostGator and them trying to fix the original issue... which happened when I imported my local dev site to the staging site attached to their domain which ended up redirecting their domain to ".local"

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

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

  • jjrruiz Juan José Ruiz (@jjrruiz) reported

    @HostGator IMPORTANT: the attacker is filtering non-Spanish IP addresses and not mobile devices, and showing a fake 403 error. Please use an Android user-agent + Spanish proxy to check it, and solve this #phishing issue as soon as possible.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Why do i need to be speaking to chat 2-3 times a month for 3 months for the same issue

  • 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

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

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

  • 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.

  • Blonde_kitty_x GODDESS KITTY (@Blonde_kitty_x) reported

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

  • HunterShaun2 Hunter Shaun (@HunterShaun2) reported

    I am happy to switch my Hosting from #GoDaddy to #hostgator it's the best Hosting service provider and tech support also as godaddy service and tech support is wierd, specially one of their support guy nikhilraj 👎

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

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

  • mvandemar Michael VanDeMar (@mvandemar) reported

    @HGSupport Is there an email outage right now? My email on gator4101 keeps erroring out.

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

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

  • leonheywood Leon Heywood (@leonheywood) reported

    It seems at least once a month we have problems with @HostGator and when I tell other tech people they just roll their eyes. As a company you would think they would want to promote a good image of their services.

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

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

  • edw_yu Edward Yu (@edw_yu) reported

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

  • DuckDegen Degen Duck (@DuckDegen) reported

    @bantg Wow. And i thought hostgator was bad

  • _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

  • aafc795 Joe Moore (@aafc795) reported

    @denharsh @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Namecheap is the worst, zero customer service and they don't answer emails. I should start another site with HostGator, which is much better and they actually call you after you become a customer to make sure everything is going along well.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

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

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

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

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

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

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @hgsupport After HG admins upgraded the cloud server in April, inherited PHP.ini versions no longer load common modules such as wddx, sqlite3 or pdo_sqlite. Error messages once a minute. x all domains on a package. x all users on the server. No wonder your server is slow...
