    @HostGator @HGSupport - I have been a customer for almost 10 years. Our dedicated server is down now for over 8 hours for an OS reload with data retention. I have asked for an update and have not heard back. The ticket number is 33974002. Any help is really appreciated.

    @HostGator is the worst registrar, period.

  • AerieSaunders aerie 👻 (@AerieSaunders) reported

    Lol @HostGator charged me twice for something I asked them to refund as per recommendation of their live chat support. I’m out $1000+ and in the negatives in my bank account. Might be using a new host. Wtf.

    @hostgatorindia HostGator got the worst service ever- Since last 2 weeks my DEDICATED MANAGED SERVER is down and @hostgatorindia is not able to fix it. Not believe me? Call me, I'll show proofs +91-9888882551 DO NOT AVAIL THEIR SERVICE.

  • ravriyagroup Ravriya Group® (@ravriyagroup) reported

    @rahulanand84 @hostgatorindia yes Hostgator India is worst,I am thinking of filing a complaint against them after sudden changes made by them in services from 2020

  • CathyKWeb CathyK (@CathyKWeb) reported

    My reseller account had been with HostGator and their support was great. I just couldn’t justify renewing with them, even tho they just fixed any problem I had. There’s nobody to call for help now, only the internet & stress over 100s of details 🤯. #aws #lightsail #webhosting

  • michaelcbrown Mr. Brown (@michaelcbrown) reported

    @HostGator failed to auto-renew our SSL cert, sent us no notices about it (even though all our payment info is current) and even though we've since been charged the money for the SSL, our website is effectively down for another 48-72 hours. What's the phone number for @GoDaddy?

    @hostgatorindia your #customercare standard was the most horrible and good for nothing. My 90 minutes wasted with no resolution. #hostgator sucks for hosting.

  • Leon__Chase Leon Chase (@Leon__Chase) reported

    Wow. I was excited to (finally!) put all my web domains in one place, and 50 minutes in, @HostGator is breaking my heart. Multiple dropped support chats over a simple domain-transfer problem. Do not recommend #hostgator

  • Leon__Chase Leon Chase (@Leon__Chase) reported

    Anybody had good experiences with @bluehost ? I'm ready to pay $ to transfer all my sites (again) if it means someone will actually answer my support messages. Unlike @HostGator

  • agazdecki Andrew Gazdecki (@agazdecki) reported

    For non-technical founders looking to validate a startup idea... 1. Web design on @99designs 2. Hire Wordpress dev on @Upwork & cheap @HostGator server 3. Share site with customers 4. Focus on the problem, not the features. 5. Talk to more customers 6. Ask for feedback

  • TheUnknown2089 TheUnknown (@TheUnknown2089) reported

    Without a doubt @HostGator is the worst hosting platform available, absolute garbage

    @HGSupport Been on chat with your support for hours, y'all aren't helping. You deleted my client's entire DNS records, and do not have them backed up. You guys do some bullshit like this once a year.

  • RosieHendo1 Rosie Henderson (@RosieHendo1) reported

    I'm editing with elementor and moved from wp . com to hostgator but I can't work out how to get blogs to show on the blog page. I'm not really sure what to search for to troubleshoot this so someone who can make it make sense and then tell me how to fix it would be v appreciated!

    Hello! My website has an unexpected problem right now. I get the message "PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /home2/dejapi/public_html/plantpets/includes/lock.inc)." Can you please investigate? @HostGator @HGSupport

  • Bitcoin_Mafia Cynthia T (@Bitcoin_Mafia) reported

    @HostGator Why doesn't your support chat ever work? It just keeps buffering and never loads.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @MzYummyDread Hello, We apologize for your poor support experience. It's HostGator's objective to provide our customers the best support experience. Please send us a DM letting us know what issues you are experiencing. Chellie

  • ksholloman Kevin Holloman (@ksholloman) reported

    @HGSupport Thanks. I have 63 websites, actually. Across 10 or so hosts. So, I feel fairly qualified to know if it’s hosting, or another factor causing the slow load times.
