    @Jenn_Mattern @DevonEllington Ideally, avoid any Newfold Digital owned companies if you don't want similar service: bluehost, HostGator, Site5, iPage, JustHost, ASmallOrange, bigrock, Network Solutions, the list goes on.

    @HostGator @HGSupport I was told my database was deleted and I need to redo my website. Are you serious!!! There has to be a better way to manage my business sites. Where the problem, sitelock or hostgator? Companies moved the world to cloud Its been challenge to manage.

    @HostGator Its been over 30+ hours! You said in your mail downtime will be maximum of 2 hours but its been more than 30 HOURS, How can you DO THIS TO ALL vps CLIENTS, CONTACTED customer support 10 times, and they have no explanation at all! #serverdown #hostgator #badservice

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @DevonEllington Word of caution: Bluehost and HostGator are part of one of the worst hosting conglomerates to ever exist. Friends don't let friends use bad providers. If anyone recommends them...they're usually paid affiliates. Buyer beware!

    @StephTaitWrites @sesmith They take company domain names down 6 days after expiry instead of a month and demand wild broker fees and commissions. Is hostgator any better?

  • Jamie_ORourke Jamie O'Rourke (@Jamie_ORourke) reported

    @HGSupport We'll see if this guy pretends to be a manager first. 2 hours and 3 support chats and you haven't even come close to simply looking at where the traffic is coming from, so I don't hold out much hope.

  • WMDRock WMD Rock (@WMDRock) reported

    Coming up on 24 hrs since @HostGator @HGSupport took my personal server down for a 1 to 2 hour data center migration. Not looking like I'll be renewing that contract. I've become much more technically savvy since I started using their systems. This is a complete **** up.
