  • Decipherous Krakadoom (@Decipherous) reported

    @HostGator You mean never put all your eggs near a gator? 🤔

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    I’m receiving approx 60 ssl cert error emails every day. @HostGator support suggested I create a folder and redirect them there. This is not customer support!!! Why not correct whatever is causing the errors?

  • OutlawSoaps Outlaw (@OutlawSoaps) reported

    @monaeatsLA (Danielle here)- I feel like everything relies on someone else's platform at this point... when I was on Wordpress, HostGator went down for 3 days. Now I'm on Shopify, and they sometimes (rarely) go down. Is there anywhere that isn't on someone else's platform?

  • QuestionablePr5 Questionable Programming (@QuestionablePr5) reported

    @HostGator @Twitter Glad to know its not just another weird problem with my internet

  • DavidWolter7 DavidWolter (@DavidWolter7) reported

    @EliteGamerHaven @HGSupport Dm @legittoolz ASAP he help me solved my problem when I have similar issue with my locked account. His good and fast.

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    I’m receiving approx 60 ssl cert error emails every day. After weeks of calls, @HostGator support said to create a folder and redirect the cPanel error emails there and ignore them. This is not customer support!!! Correct whatever is causing the errors.

  • iamMachias J.P. Wing (@iamMachias) reported

    Anyone have experience with @HostGator as a hosting company? I've heard good things but I welcome any input. I have several sites down due to a bad migration exercise @machighway, and they're no longer talking to customers, so I need to start on Plan B.

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    @HGSupport After about 45 calls to a offshore support number and DM to support, my problem is still not solved. I’m now shopping for a different hosting service. One thing you can count on; I will flood social media with the truth about your lack of customer service.

  • LifeTraveled LifeTravelStilettos (@LifeTraveled) reported

    @NomadicNeen I use Wordpress but host with @HostGator. So much better service (and less expensive than my previous hosting company which shall remain unnamed -- but isn't the one you mentioned.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    we will build an entire new site in the time @HostGator cant even get an "Admin" to fix the issue that should speak for itself

  • bearsandbeetsss talia rae (@bearsandbeetsss) reported

    @SquarespaceHelp I'd like to move away from working with Hostgator entirely, but I purchased my domain from them. I want to keep the domain. Can you help me figure out how to keep my domain name but become a Squarespace customer exclusively? Thanks!

  • FGOABORG I need to come up with a clever name (@FGOABORG) reported

    @BridgetMWillard When I was at HostGator, I really came to enjoy working on it. You can do some really neat stuff, especially if you are using Cloudflare etc. However, since I'm not working with it regularly, I try to avoid it if I can help it.

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    @HGSupport @karanidan2 It has been a week @HostGator is still has the same issue. Something is wrong with hostgator? #Hosting #WordPress

  • JoshuaTSibanda Joshua T Sibanda (@JoshuaTSibanda) reported

    @BlogKiki_ I'm getting some response from GoDaddy,bluehost, HostGator & namecheap servers. But Hostinger and dreamhost seem to be down. This is very difficult to explain. However, Facebook runs over 30k servers in-house, this is in some partnership with GoDaddy, which is up.

  • _WhatifStudio_ Whatif Studio (@_WhatifStudio_) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia Your support phone no. is bad. Trying to connect since morning with some queries. But the call is not getting connected after the IVR. Will you please look after this...

  • DavidKellyAD David Kelly (@DavidKellyAD) reported

    @HGSupport Already reached out, it was resolved for about 10 minutes and then went down again.

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    Are you considering @HostGator to host your website? If so, contact me and let me tell you my horror stories with their support. Or should I say, lack thereof.

  • rikimgr Riki Rivera (@rikimgr) reported

    Up late with @HostGator Support trying to figure out how to upgrade my package since I’m really committing to reviving my website 🥲

  • vish_12345 vishal porwal (@vish_12345) reported

    @HostGator I purchased three years of hosting from HostGator 1.5 years (Unlimited hosting) back from the ongoing offer on your site. But for the last one month, I have been facing a very horrible experience from your customer care.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport Ooh now you just have to make the Admins actually care about something and we will be good to go, my site has been down 2 days, talked to 15 agents, sent 20 requests, explained 12 hours on phone, 5 chat sessions, and fixed all issues and even installed site lock, and still notta

    I have been using @HGSupport @HostGator for about 15 years I have been having some problems with the server and it’s been down for over a month I can’t get a manager to call me for over two weeks already this is absolutely despicable

  • 92hyadav Himanshu Yadav (@92hyadav) reported

    @HostGator I bought a domain from hostgator 3 days ago and hostgator sold my data to web design companies. This is how you treat your customers. I am getting 10 calls a day. I would never recommend hostgator to anyone. Never again buying any service from you. Such unethical org.

  • DwdMallender Dan Mallender (@DwdMallender) reported

    @HostGator @Twitter Down? What’s happening?

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    Our Download Page Is Back Up For Temporary, It Isnt Much, But It Was Faster Than @HostGator Support, if we were waiting on them we would still be waiting

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @92hyadav @HostGator Hello! We don't sell your information, ever. ICANN, however, does require that domain registrant information be listed in the WhoIS directory. We do offer a privacy service that you can select within your customer portal. Send us a DM with your domain if you have questions - Mel

  • EthaanJack Ethan Jackson (@EthaanJack) reported

    @GlewmeCorp Don't go with hostgator. I used them previously, so many issues. You may consider Asphostportal, I'm using their service.

  • av3y Deb Debashish (@av3y) reported

    @muktobihongo28 Yeah Bhai, @HostGator said may be there is an issue with DNS.
