    @HostGator @HGSupport I can't believe how TERRIBLE your customer support is! I have been trying for days to get help and spent a long time on the phone only to be "disconnected". How can I get a LIVE PERSON to help with my DOWN WEBSITE!?

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @Yamaha_FZ09 Hello Yamaha, Hostgator does not sell our customers data. We're sorry to hear you're having issues with load time, please send us a DM and we'll be happy to help you with getting to the bottom of this.

    Is @HostGator down? I can't access my site, Lost wordpress updates completely. Such a pain. Is there a scheduled outage? @HGSupport

  • Yamaha_FZ09 Yamaha_FZ09 (@Yamaha_FZ09) reported

    @HostGator is absolutely awful. Slowest webpage loading times, completely garbage hosting, their interface is not intuitive, and worst of all they sold my data and now I get 20 some spam calls a day. Eat my ***

  • SherlockMac Ali Afghah (@SherlockMac) reported

    If you’re looking for a hosting service and considering @HostGator save yourself. I just spent an hour asking them to whitelist @klaviyo so we could connect our service. They failed miserably. On top of that our website averages around +4s to respond to the requests!

  • debra_w_hughes Debra White Hughes (@debra_w_hughes) reported

    @HGSupport @HGSupport your support really is hopeless. Have been in chat over 30 minutes now and have been given a link to irrelevant info. 30 minutes wasted. What happened to yr previous intelligent & helpful support team?

  • JackLatham94 Jack Latham (@JackLatham94) reported

    Its a shame how uncooperative @HostGator are at enabling library's like ImageMagick to allow for Webp image conversation to help speed up websites and reduce bandwidth, other hosts I use have these enabled by default!

  • daehder XYUandBeyond (@daehder) reported

    @HGSupport I've been trying to reach you since yesterday. I got an email saying my domain expired on the 22/3 but there was no invoice in my account to pay now my site is down HELP

  • bernieborges bernieborges (@bernieborges) reported

    Hey @HGSupport I've been trying to resolve an issue since last Friday. No response from cases-support email. I've spoken with 4 agents. No resolution yet. What's it gonna take to resolve my issue? #custserv #customerservice #CX

  • kiwami Kiwami Livingston (@kiwami) reported

    Dear @HostGator your customer service rep is playing silent in hopes that I'll hang up lol .. c'mon guys

  • devoursnowbank devourer snowbank (@devoursnowbank) reported

    @HostGator what is the issue with pages you host & your servers being so shockingly slow #snailweb #hosting

  • Eight261 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (@Eight261) reported

    @HostGator is cpanel has been down for some time now. Any update??? #hostgator #cpanel

  • blevons Victor (@blevons) reported

    @HostGator So it looks like your server is down and support wants to open another ticket after the two calls yesterday. They want to offer email support when your email server is down. Bright idea!! Get North America support!!

  • NosnasMarketing Nosnas Marketing (@NosnasMarketing) reported

    @HostGator @Diloeningles There was one yesterday for us and clients site. What's disturbing is that Hostgator denies it. Not a good thing for us. Just believe us. Support checked site to confirm outage, but site was already back online and working. Like they did not believe what I had encountered.

  • mgaak1dev MK - WordPress Nomad (@mgaak1dev) reported

    @webhoststartups Server response time is very poor for hostgator, I have used hosgator too for years.

  • zoomnclick Feroz Khan (@zoomnclick) reported

    @HGSupport Fourth outage in a week. Each support ticket I raise takes an average of 30 mins for me to get a resolution for the same issue each time. I'm done. Please let me know which team is responsible for account refunds

  • Diloeningles Dilo en Inglés (@Diloeningles) reported

    @NosnasMarketing @HostGator @HGSupport We're currently having the same issue. I was signed in and suddenly it gave me a database error!🙈 Having a chat with customer service right now

  • storyexperiment Once Upon A Time ... (@storyexperiment) reported

    @CodeGuard I’m so frustrated with your service. My website isn’t backing up and the reason is to request a CODEGUARD resource sync for your support But there is no way to talk to you because it’s through Hostgator

  • ejiroesiri Omo (@ejiroesiri) reported

    @kiwami @HostGator I do agree. N they just leave the support chat mid way through n don't return.

  • antarctopod Mrs. Jones (@antarctopod) reported

    @HGSupport The chat support isn't working for me. It just "spins" This has been happening since yesterday.

  • zoomnclick Feroz Khan (@zoomnclick) reported

    @HGSupport it's not and it hasn't been an individual customer issue. If you look at all the previous instances, it's been EXIM server issues on your side

  • JulieKubiak Julie Kubiak (@JulieKubiak) reported

    @SiteLock Want to amend 4 URL’s I have Sitelock on. @HGSupport said I need to purchase new SiteLock for new domains, cancel previous plans & there will be no refund. I purchased 4 plans for 3 years in January 2022; not quite 3 months ago. This is shocking 😡

  • JackLatham94 Jack Latham (@JackLatham94) reported

    @HGSupport I did talk to someone on livechat though my clients account that said Webp support was for dedicated servers only and since they are on a shared plan, its not available. I wanted to setup the WP Webp Express plugin but none of the image conversation libraries where supported.

  • Diloeningles Dilo en Inglés (@Diloeningles) reported

    @NosnasMarketing Our issue also just magically fix itself. Hostgator said they didn't have any reports either. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again.

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgator your chat is never openeing.. why!! I want to make payment but unable to chat... as always.

  • daehder XYUandBeyond (@daehder) reported

    @HostGator got an email my domain expired 22/3 trying to reach support to pay since early yesterday no response and no chat working. No invoice in my account to pay for domain HELP

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @busyrabbit_ @HGSupport @HostGator (2/2) The website is resolving but there are some coding issues that need to be checked with your developer. Our team has updated your case ID 39787417 with these details. Please get in touch with them if you have any more queries.

  • blevons Victor (@blevons) reported

    @HostGator Worst customer support. Cannot access email and call your support. Says on windows server and needs to get support via email only. Ask for supervisor and never ending hold. VERY BAD!!!!
