    @HGSupport Your problem. Not mine. HOSTGATOR CHOOSING TO EXTORT PEOPLE WITH ONE WAY EMAIL IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I responded to the email YOU sent. You want to extort me over email and then claim you refuse to communicate over email? That is ****** UP! #extortionists

  • arvind00 arvind (@arvind00) reported

    @gonzalezdeb I have tried most of big names GoDaddy, Hostgator, bigrock... and they all are same. Customer services are the worst. But from last 2 years, I'm using on Hostinger. No downtime. You can try for ipage as well. If you need help with installation or design let me know.

    @RGC_BPPA Okay I figured out what I misunderstood and luckily WordPress gave me a refund lol Starting over now with HostGator, thank y'all so much for the help.

  • TheoPlooij Theo Plooij (@TheoPlooij) reported

    @HGSupport You would have answered my emails to abuse and support if you took these cases seriously. @HGSupport

  • daenadurille Diego Escobedo (@daenadurille) reported

    @HGSupport hey someone help me the technical support of Mexico does not answer and I have serious problems

  • EmeliaPillay Emelia Pillay (@EmeliaPillay) reported

    Just moved to Hostgator as my new website host 💡... wondering what everything means getting set up. I found my previous host was a bit slow. No matter what I tried, I could not get the server load time to decrease on pagespeedinsights. So let’s see how we go with @HostGator 👏

  • SenOyeyemi Michael Oyeyemi (@SenOyeyemi) reported

    @HGSupport @HGSupport what is happening to your site. I really need help with my domain.

  • its_Mistix Ar-Jhay Vas (@its_Mistix) reported

    @HostGator I just realized your prices went up by what.... $5? I think it's time for me to leave. I've been a customer for way too long. #needcheaperhosting

  • rebelpoetess_ 🗯 (@rebelpoetess_) reported

    @swer_alt @xsucculentx @AmberlyPSO Hey, heads up that I don’t think Wordpress is supporting SWer sites anymore. I’d recommend building and hosting on hostgator who allow SWers to use their service

  • EvThatGuy Hollywood Ev (@EvThatGuy) reported

    Hostgator is probably the worst web host ever

  • HAndrewV a (@HAndrewV) reported

    @HGSupport you're hosting a scam site that is selling dogs as a scam. Using my dogs photos specifically. You took down the site and it's up again, minus my dogs photo. What is going on???

  • FisherJolly jolly fisher (@FisherJolly) reported

    @HGSupport Again, YOUR PROBLEM. Not mine. Fix your crappy systems. Leave me alone! Your incompetence is not my problem HostGator

  • 7thcircledesign 7th Circle Designs (@7thcircledesign) reported

    PSA For anyone that uses or supports anyone on @HostGator check your #WordPress install. They have started adding and changing files again. @HGSupport was no help. #security #Hacked

  • HAndrewV a (@HAndrewV) reported

    @HostGator you're hosting a company that is scamming people out of thousands of dollars by selling them dogs that don't exist. Specifically my dog that they're using a photo of. We asked you to shut the website down, and now it's up again, minus our dogs photo. What is going on?

  • cthulhu247 Cthulhu 247 (@cthulhu247) reported

    @ezmedia @Michaeldrew1 @ezmedia did you manage to contact Michael? I contacted him long ago but no reply. Today most of his download links are down, Hostgator suspended :(

  • DJCraigN Craig Niswonger (@DJCraigN) reported

    @HostGator you might want to send people a warning before autobilling their account for renewal. Guess who will never get a recommendation from me again?

  • Captain_Faraday Martin Nixon (@Captain_Faraday) reported

    @HGSupport I'm trying to log into my billing portal but I've forgotten my password. When I request an email to reset it, the email never arrives. It says if that happens to use Live Chat - but I need my password to use Live Chat! Please help!

  • RoomResource The Resource Room (@RoomResource) reported

    @HGSupport Hi HG Support, I am in desperate need of you! Our site got hacked and I have NO access to my billing portal! I have been trying to get this done since 10:30am est with no luck, just promises of ticket escalations. Our site has a nasty malware and I need to get in ASAP

  • rafauriega Rafa Uriega (@rafauriega) reported

    @HostGator What terrible and lousy customer service #Hosgator has in Latin America! Not only could they not help me, but they could never see my problem on their screens! I saw it on my computer, on 2 others and even on mobile phones! It seems only @godaddy is very supportive!👎

  • SolarMayank NextGen Solar (@SolarMayank) reported

    @castella_erik @ionos_help_US @ionos_com Supervisor too busy to talk? Would really like to know what is more important to him/her than speaking with your customer. 8 years with 1&1 now switching to HostGator.

  • FisherJolly jolly fisher (@FisherJolly) reported

    @HGSupport stop emailing and harassing me for money... your threats of “service disruption” mean nothing to me seeing that I DON’T USE YOUR SERVICE! #harassment

  • JohnPullum John Pullum (@JohnPullum) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator My website was hacked and the tech support person doesn't seem to understand what's going on. She wants to charge me for virus protection and said my site wasn't hacked. It's hacked!!! I need to grow more hair so I can pull it out.

  • wpmedic WordPress Medic (@wpmedic) reported

    @RoomResource @HGSupport Were they able to help or are you still waiting? HostGator usually upsells SiteLock service to clean up malware from our experience.

  • SenOyeyemi Michael Oyeyemi (@SenOyeyemi) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator why is your live chat not working. I really need help with my domain.

  • ericsd05 Mr E! (@ericsd05) reported from Dallas, Texas

    @HGSupport why is your website down? Need to pay my bill but can’t access website or live chat help.
