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

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @HGSupport Jyothi is an admin who tries to trick me rather than help me. You need to take him off work duty because he's not helping people.

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
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport entering day 6 without access to 3 revenue producing sites, and no one at HG has any answers, only cut-and-paste replies. Hearing nearly 50k sites still down and HG is recruiting help on Fiverr. Epic fail and clear signal that revenue producing sites cannot trust HG.

Eder (@Eder55164219) reported@HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number

Neumie Awards (@NeumieAwards) reported@HGSupport @HostGator my VPS has been up and down for almost five days now. Every chat session is "we know and we are working on it." Come on! What are you doing? I need this fixed
-
Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reported@ethanjaack Day 6 of @HGSupport and they arbitrarily closed the ticket without checking to see if their fix worked. Which it did not. So after all these years, a random, easily solved glitch, ends my time with them. Turning a likely 15 min. Tech call into 3 emails over 6 days? Failure.
-
Joseph Franco (@francojosephsd) reported@HGSupport @DanMicovic @HostGator There is no service in my VPS since monda. One whole work week lost.
-
DN (@danielnardicio) reportedWhen looking to replace the dreadful @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp with a better company with better customer service, try out Bluehost SiteGround DreamHost HostGator HostPapa InMotion Hosting. You dont have to accept terrible customer service.
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@francojosephsd @HGSupport @HostGator Same, and they seem to think that the issue has been fully resolved. No communication to the customers, or among themselves.
-
Wojtek (Voytek) Bereza (@voytekbereza) reported@HostGator whats up with your support? I cant submit a ticket, you are not picking up your emails and not picking up your phone...
-
Lucas Castro (@adiospipino) reported@HGSupport I have a production server down for more than 24 hours and still no solution or clear update. Please provide news regarding the maintenance/work you said would be performed today on the affected CentOS servers related to the known cPanel issue reported by your team.

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HostGator Hi @HostGator and @HGSupport I am still in the chat and now for 29 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.
-
David Abram 🐊 (@devabram) reported@lucasMnts But you need to ship, you are riddle with skill issues and don't know linux. Also hostgator is dying from your ****** PHP code.
-
Joseph Franco (@francojosephsd) reported@HGSupport When will you correct the VPS service? 96 hour is way out of good service.
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@dcodrea We know that popup looks sketchy, but it isn’t from your HostGator site; it’s a browser extension (Coupert) injecting coupon ads over your dashboard. Try incognito or another browser; if it’s gone, remove the extension. If not, support can help!
-
HostGator (@HostGator) reported@darthguero @HGSupport Have you tried our frontline phone support? If you haven't, please try to do so as they are the best to assist when it comes to this kind of issue.

-
Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reportedDay 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

Tommy Flavio (@tommyflavio) reported from Town of Hamden, Connecticut@ionos_help_US I called support. They needed my ID and something else. Sadly, I ended up just using @HostGator which went right through and I was up with cpanel in less that 20 minutes.
-
Russell Kaye (@russellskaye) reported@DanMicovic @HostGator @HGSupport I cannot access the WHM on my two Hostgator hosting products: VPS & Reseller Servers. I'm unable to get chat support either.
