Brian Modansky (@BrianModansky) reported 1 minute ago
customer 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

I didn’t think it was possible but HostGator made their ****** website even worse If anyone reading this ends up needing web hosting use literally any other service
TBC🏄‍♂️❎ (@tennisballchips) reported 4 minutes ago
@HostGator @WordPress Now it's created a whole new set of problems. At first, it kept directing me to some weird temporary domain. Then I logged in and updated the settings and now it's a 403 error page. Hours of my time is going down the drain for no reason.
Brian Modansky (@BrianModansky) reported 5 minutes ago
Later on I designed the theme for the control panel that all their customers used. Then I redesigned the website. The business started to boom. We started hiring a lot of employees so I went from customer support and website designer to build HostGator’s employee training

@HGSupport @adamfarrar I haven't received any confirmation on fixing my issue with Hostgator on DM. Why is it so? I don't understand....Is this the way you give service to your customers?
CENSORED BY T!!TTER (@PeterVadala) reported 7 minutes ago
@HostGator #SSL errors for multiple sites. Please get to the bottom of it. All we did was deactivate some outdated plugins.
Geetha Prabhu (Workflexi) (@geetu11) reported 7 minutes ago
@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!!??
Guy (@Hal_chair) reported 16 minutes ago
@HGSupport How to you access the live chat support. It has been disabled for months now. All live chat support does is show you a list of "is this your problem" crap.
Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reported 20 minutes ago
Day 3 of @HGSupport / @HostGator tech support. Still no solutions in sight. The most obvious on the 1st day would be to reset from their end and give me the info my ftp client needs to connect, but no. Day 3

FFS @HostGator - hold for 25+min tech support line?

@HostGator Looks like you all have been hacked again. Duplicated records DKIM DMARC SPF! When will you fix this?! @HGSupport
Stan Vee (@Stan_VeeS) reported 32 minutes ago
@FakeUncleNemo @zrkann I got out of @HostGator about 10 yrs ago. They sabotaged one of my servers and asked $250 for "emergency upgrade". Funny enough, the support engineer who I was on the phone with, fixed it without it but had to switch it off again so they could keep the scam going 🤡
Dundee Internet (@Dundee_Internet) reported 32 minutes ago
@HGsupport We operate a private opt-in discussion list on our mail server used to distribute messages only to subscribed members. The system is not used for spam or bulk commercial mail — it is a controlled discussion list serving legitimate clients-This appears to be a misclassification by your mail system or an IP-level restriction. Who can I contact, as you support number and AI chat doesn't understand
Eder (@Eder55164219) reported 32 minutes ago
@HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number
King Stanky (@TheKingOfStank) reported 33 minutes ago
@MichaelFKane Time to set up your domain on a proxy that redirects traffic to a bunch of different services, 1 amazon, 1 hostgator, 1 idk something else. Then have them load distribute based on availability. You can never be too safe.

@HostGator is a terrible hosting platform. really sad to see people recommend it. >> Poor customer support. >> Unreliable hosting the list goes on........

@HostGator @HGSupport When will you fix your email hosting? You provide the worst service ever!
Eduardo Morales (@chikipollo08) reported 42 minutes ago
@HostGator I submitted a support ticket regarding my hosting; my emails are not reaching their destination. I've had the ticket open for 3 days and no one has followed up on it.

@betocreativo @Hostinger If your account is US-based, we offer 24/7 phone & chat support with real humans, the AI can help route you to them if needed. If you are a HostGator LATAM customer they also offer chat support were you can reach a live agent, anytime.

@HostGator is there a problem with customer service? I've been waiting for ages just to get someone to help me.
Eduardo Aspe M. (@easpem) reported 44 minutes ago
@HGSupport This is a cry for help. Since 7 days ago 2 Websites hosted on HG have been having outages for 20+ min on average. I already reported this many times to HG Support staff case id INC1132927. The say it will be fixed but still happens.
Abhishek Ingle (@abhishekingle) reported 44 minutes ago
@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.
Grok (@grok) reported 46 minutes ago
Based on recent reviews and reports (as of 2026), common issues with BigRock hosting in India include migration glitches from HostGator (e.g., downtime, domain-hosting disconnects in 2025), slow server speeds/high ping on shared plans, limited speed features like no built-in CDN, higher renewal rates, and mixed support (some quick resolutions, others unhelpful with refunds/upgrades). Positives: Indian servers for faster local access, reliable for many users. Check Trustpilot for latest feedback before deciding.

When I was a customer of #HostGator web hosting they suspended my account, and all of the web sites I was hosting, all of the email accounts, domains, everything, because someone complained to them about an article on a 3rd party wiki. AVOID HOSTGATOR! #consumerProtection

@HostGator email and websites are down for Rogers clients in Canada. Question is, who is at fault? Bell and/or VPN works
Amy Lathrop (@amyalathrop) reported 50 minutes ago
.@HostGator problems with outgoing email for me. I cannot get support from chat or phone "help." Is this going to be resolved soon?

@HostGator almost 10 hours no service!

@skystracloud Hey, no it didn’t so I’ve moved to a new provider. Had enough of hostgator and their lack of customer service
Shawn Brown (@shawnbb13827) reported 58 minutes ago
@HostGator I've been on the phone with your so called Customer Support. Straight useless. It would probably help if they spoke true American language, but like every other call center - your **** is all outsourced!
