  • IvanNetwork Ivan Gomez (@IvanNetwork) reported

    I don't recommend this hosting company, to slow and takes forever to restore service, definitely, not good for business @HostGator

  • sarahjsmith29 Sarah Smith (@sarahjsmith29) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport I'm working on a client website and am having issues connecting Shopify. Can you help?

  • YoungbloodJoe Joe Youngblood (@YoungbloodJoe) reported

    @HGSupport Same problem your shared system always has. It crashes due to overloading and you blame the websites that purchase it based on your marketing. Y'all just do a poor job keeping the shared servers healthy.

  • digvijayjainel Digvijay Jain (@digvijayjainel) reported

    Worst Customer Support @HostGator @hostgatorindia

  • marcuanDj djmarcuan (@marcuanDj) reported

  • MindyJPeltier MindyIsEditingFirstDraft! (@MindyJPeltier) reported

    @_p_rittenhouse I've used @Hostgator for about 7 years and they've shut me down 2x in last year for no reason. My daughter died and I couldn't blog cuz website down. I have paid too much for bad service.

  • cparizo Christine Parizo (@cparizo) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Why are all my websites down?

  • atluxity Hans-Petter Fjeld (@atluxity) reported

    @Frikkylikeme Already using cloudflare, it was still causing too high CPU usage for our hostgator plan, and they did not support a smooth upscaling.

  • mgwheeler63 Michael Wheeler (@mgwheeler63) reported

    @HostGator client portal is completely down...

  • mnwickens Martin Wickens (@mnwickens) reported

    Follow up on my last post, I know its not Hostgator, just the process of needing to submit info to buy a domain and then for legal reasons that info is made public. Still, I've bought many domains and never had calls like this.

  • prob_solvr James Powell (@prob_solvr) reported

    When your web hosting provider installs your new SSL on the wrong domain and then makes you wait 24+ hours to fix it. Still waiting…. @HostGator

  • digitalbrijeshh Brijesh Soni (@digitalbrijeshh) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Can anyone help me with my Affiliate Query? I dropped mail before 3 days and no reply. I am your Affiliate #hostgatoraffiiate #hostgatorsupport

  • lemead Lindsey Mead (@lemead) reported

    @HGSupport I am appalled at how poor the support is and I'm paying so much for sitelock.

  • LegndaryThreads Mythic Fantastique (@LegndaryThreads) reported

    @ReviewSignal It basically started because I was frustrated with the BS "hosting review" sites, and friends and clients wanted more than just "I'd recommend these hosts... seriously, GoDaddy is crap... please don't use HostGator..." etc etc, and pointing them to a not-me expert worked better.

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @ceciliatan @YesItsNicolaC Hostgator and Bluehost are owned by the same company which is a venture capital firm...so whatever one does, the other does too. GoDaddy just plain sucks too

  • custmguru scott (@custmguru) reported

    @HGSupport What's up with the support chat? I've been trying to connect for about 2 hours

  • CyberSpecialist Bruce Goodwin (@CyberSpecialist) reported

    re: ticket number 32734909 @HostGator I enforce strong passwords on all WP accounts, I keep my php and server updated. the server was attacked via your cloud network and I am pretty sure @HGSupport knows it

  • LunaTrashQueen gremlin (@LunaTrashQueen) reported

    Anyone know a decent and cheap web hosting service? I’m up for renewal with HostGator and I can’t afford to renew and would super like to not have to take my portfolio down.

  • mrizwanahmed123 Mirza Rizwan Ahmed (@mrizwanahmed123) reported

    @HostGator I have been calling and chatting with your team since morning, but there’s no resolution very bad service...@HGSupport @hostgatorindia

  • lemead Lindsey Mead (@lemead) reported

    I encourage all bloggers to move off of @HostGator - they used to be great and now it's an absolute disaster. Site down for days and no help.

  • devoursnowbank devourer snowbank (@devoursnowbank) reported

    @virginmedia its hard for me ok im gonna break down the issue into chunks - im actually on with adobe & hostgator at mo

  • paultranzit Paul Tranzit (@paultranzit) reported

    It's frustrating as all hell when @HostGator charges your credit card for a cancelled service, then when they refund you, they miss $20 because "exchange rate differences". Thanks for the motivation to move my other 3 accounts. How not to do customer service. Bye Felicia!

  • mgwheeler63 Michael Wheeler (@mgwheeler63) reported

    Called @HGSupport 8 minute phone call with silence and then a survey on how my support tech was. #HungUpOn
