  • IconIsland Banks ETH (@IconIsland) reported

    Why does @HostGator have the worst customer & technical support on the planet... like OMG. 😤 ya'll really love wasting people's time.

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport OK, I am guessing you are having serious issues. My one site just threw out a 500 error and the other one took 3 minutes to load. I am on Chat; it says talk in 5, but its been 7 minutes and nothing has changed, including the timer. #notsurprised

  • Andrew51750081 Andrew (@Andrew51750081) reported

    @HostGator customer service agent are unable to do anything via live chat or via phone what exactly happened to this company you get paid so much money atleast hire some agents who can help customer

  • devoursnowbank devourer snowbank (@devoursnowbank) reported

    @HGSupport yes correct ( sloppy answer) I am asking you where I can go to see your prices etc that answer was one of the most useless support answers ever

  • JessicaMutuku Jessica Mutuku (@JessicaMutuku) reported

    @Builderall are you a hosting company as in @hostgator where I can actually login to a cpanel. Trying to understand your software.

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    I am furious. @HostGator @HGSupport 2-3 times a year I have huge issues with them, and now, they want me to UPGRADE my account, because why? So I can pay MORE money for ****** service? The ***** on them to try and upsell me after this crap! WOWOW.

  • mcjulie McJulie is a pissed off pro choice riot auntie (@mcjulie) reported

    I signed up with #hostgator after a positiver review in one of the computer mags and I have never regretted a decision more in my life

  • wordpressdotcom WordPress.com (@wordpressdotcom) reported

    @chenebuah Got it. Are you able to contact @HostGator for help? They can likely tell why the email didn't arrive, and may be able to help with the @WordPress error, too.

  • NosnasMarketing Nosnas Marketing (@NosnasMarketing) reported

    @HGSupport @OhRheally This was not mentioned to me or other users when we reported it. Other user had 13 sites down.

  • sebremm SEB (@sebremm) reported

    @rexthetvterrier @HostGator So sorry you’ve experienced such horrible service from them. 😢

  • Salonekid Chrispin Griffiths (@Salonekid) reported

    @HostGator, please, can I have an update on this ticket reference 4018913? Your support is absolutely terrible. I'm considering moving on to another provider.

  • Engineerisaac Engineerisaac.com (@Engineerisaac) reported

    @HGSupport We Here at frustrated customers apricate direct and personal responses. We know that when support presses a single button to retort a tweet it activates the inability to act like a passionate human. At the end of this we understand these actions ultimately lead to bad support.

  • mnxcloudx Monica (@mnxcloudx) reported

    Hey @HostGator, picture this: You e-mail customers at least a day before re-billing them so they get a chance to cancel subscriptions they don't need, and save yourselves the embarrassment of negative reviews on all your social media posts!

  • Andrew51750081 Andrew (@Andrew51750081) reported

    @HostGator worst customer service agents dont talk engkish usa teach noncommercial handle support so your stuck

  • NosnasMarketing Nosnas Marketing (@NosnasMarketing) reported

    @HGSupport @Beruud Support is not that tech savvy.

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA, INC. (@Zen62com) reported

    @HGSupport I ask for update on 40046745, I get no answer. HG rep says "Tell me the issue?" The issue is game-playing - I want a status update on case 40046745!

  • Bil9255 Muhammad Bilal Khan (@Bil9255) reported

    @HostGator two years back I left hostgator hosting services because of bad customer support and after two years i started using your services again, but i feel the customer support is still the same , nothing change .

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HGSupport I'm just bitter because I haven't pulled my sites from HG yet. Angry at my laziness. So, you, personally, I don't have any problems with, its the Walmart grade hosting company you work for. Hoping the sites can last until the next billing cycle, so I can find a better hoster.

  • Andrew51750081 Andrew (@Andrew51750081) reported

    @HGSupport who owns hostgator the service cost so much instead of quality he chose to give cheap labour and ruin the whole company customer service sucks defiantly need an alternative any recommendations?

  • devoursnowbank devourer snowbank (@devoursnowbank) reported

  • JulieKubiak Julie Kubiak (@JulieKubiak) reported

    WTF is going on @HGSupport? Day 8 of waiting for paid SSL to be implemented on 6 sites. Only 2 have the correct certificates attached to them. Read the tickets before telling me it is a problem my end, clearing the cache won’t fix the problems I’m encountering 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • enkitunes Enki (@enkitunes) reported

    So after fighting it for a week Im super duper over HostGator and their **** *** service. Ive been looking at 1&1 for a decent replacement. but id like the hiveminds input on decent webhost.

  • devoursnowbank devourer snowbank (@devoursnowbank) reported

    Are then any Hosting sites out there that can advise of the prices for new & renewals cheers @HostGator doesn't wanna help!

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HGSupport Can't, yesterday it told me my message could not go through to you...? I just finished the chat - it has been escalated. I need to know how you have the kajones to try and upsell me because you are having issues on your end. WOW. Anyways. Need to move on, calm down a bit.

  • chenebuah chenebuah david (@chenebuah) reported

    @wordpressdotcom I tried using login into the WordPress account I just open from the hostgator process and in the part for the admin. I'm think I didn't insert the right email because I have gotten an email from you guys yet and when I type my username and password I get an error

  • fbgchase Football Perspective (@fbgchase) reported

    @FO_ASchatz yeah, having some real trouble with Hostgator. I am going to need to get someone to help redesign the site. Any suggestions would be welcome!

  • nanda_gagandeep Gagandeep Nanda (@nanda_gagandeep) reported

    It's now 5 hours and still @HostGator is not able to fix its server issues all my 4 websites are down and I am continuously loosing customer just due to a irresponsible behavior by @HostGator @HGSupport

  • Ashwanichy1996 Ashwani (@Ashwanichy1996) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia My case I'd is - 40207581 This is regarding cpu load. All your support executive and backed team trying to convince me to purchase managed hosting then only they will help, they even don't try to understand my problem. It's already been 2-3 days.

  • beli0135 Voxin 🇧🇷🇷🇸♏ (@beli0135) reported

    @PovilasKorop App does not start, gives 404. It should only load default welcome (didn't altered it yet). At 1st I thought it was .htaccess, but it is not. In local XAMPP works OK. I wonder was the google's recaptcha on login screen that makes problems (**** server is at Hostgator).

  • Un_tal_Maynor Maynor (@Un_tal_Maynor) reported

    @mrhouseplant @TVBrasil_me @HostGator Did they solve the problem ?
