-
OkYall (@okyall55) reported@HostGator deleted MANY of my posts. Not me. Hostgator. Now they won't restore them unless I pay them to do it. I've been a customer for 20 years or more. Never thought I would see the day that they would be so blatantly crooked. If you use host Gator, you have to pay for them to back up your blog or pay a third party. Or you have to copy everything on your site. BlueHost is cheaper, backs up every day, charges nothing extra and restores for no charge. What happened to hostgator?????

Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reportedRocketship SEO Plugin: We have identified a memory handling issue with our plugin that appears to largely impact Yoast users on Bluehost (though not HostGator which is the same company). in 100% of cases we've investigated the issue goes away in a few hours as memory used subsides. You might get an error immediately after activating the plugin that says there has been a critical error on the site. Your site and Admin area are fine, this is the memory issue manifesting itself. You might also get a report emailed by WordPress saying the issue was caused by @Yoast using too much memory, but it is our plugin causing the problem not Yoast. Our best guess at the moment is that this error is caused by our compatibility settings with Yoast which is performed automatically upon install and activation. We are looking at making this process more efficient and improving our compatibility so sites in shared environments like Bluehost do not encounter this issue.

coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedThe worst web and email hosting provider is Hostgator. They suspend user accounts without warning. Their censorship policy is arbitrary allowing no clear definition of policy. Your opinion is not allowed on your own web site! #scam #HostGatorSux

B2B2B2B? Nicky D (@nick_donellan) reported@HGSupport we are still having issues with our email servers. This is like the 8th or 9th day of issues. It takes about 45 seconds to pull up every email. We run a medical equipment supply company and emails are getting lost and accidentally deleted with important documents in

Mehul Mukati (@mehulmukati) reportedhey @BigRockIndia its not fair that you sneak in add-ons at time of domain renewal without my explicit permission. In the last 13-14 years with @hostgatorindia @HGSupport I have never once faced such behaviour. I for sure will be out from your system soon.

Ⓜ️ina Nathan 💻 (@minaenathan) reportedI not recommend using HostGator or Bluehost. Their security is extremely weak, management is poor, and they consistently focus on charging extra fees instead of providing reliable service. My experience with them for over 8 years has been very disappointing. #bluehost #hostgator

Eduardo Aspe M. (@easpem) reported@HostGator 2 sites hosted on HG are down. Have been on and off since 7 days ago. Case id INC1132927. Please. My Client is furios.

Abhishek Ingle (@abhishekingle) reported@HGSupport Why @HGSupport is ghosting it's customers? It's been 3 days since I raised an escalation and even after multiple emails I have not received any responses. HG Support used to be far more responsive earlier.

Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reported@HGSupport @HostGator Your team did not. If they told you that, its false. I get a Hostgator email whenever I sign in. No problem. I got a Hostgator ad trying to sell me more stuff. No problem. Unfortunately your team of Escalated Techs have been unable to send a simple email since Friday, 9:14am

Kurian OS (@Achayan) reported@HostGator That's crazy, if we have some issues which we can't resolve through the online chat, then there is no way to contact a authoritative person ?. I guess I need to look in to other hosting options then..
-
Geetha Prabhu (Workflexi) (@geetu11) reported@BigRock @hostgatorindia Can someone call me on my registered mobile no. pls? Every week our emails are down and your team takes one whole day to rectify the problem. When it was hostgator, we never faced this issue. What is that you guys are doing differently that we have to suffer every week!!??

Autark (@Aut4rk) reported@process_eli I went to school for my assosciate's in applied sciences for computer programming & analysis way back in 2002. I quit a semester later and got a job as a remote L3 sysadmin for HostGator. They wanted me to learn Java before C++. **** that.

Bloom (@Jwrbloom) reported@HGSupport One of your tech support people had me flush my DNS. It solved the initial problem, but created two others. One, I can't connect my text editor to the server, and it won't let me get to your website portal either. I'm getting an Edge IP Address notification.

Brian Modansky (@BrianModansky) reportedcustomer support and website designer to build HostGator’s employee training department while I was still doing website designer work also. We moved to Houston, TX when my buddy/boss bought a building in Houston, Tx. I ended up training over 1000 employees how to use their service and how to do chats, phone, and ticket customer service. I then taught several trainers on how to train employees and then went full time website and graphic designer for
