  • frankiep Frank Prendergast (@frankiep) reported

    @shaunoconnor1 @HGSupport Honestly, my thoughts are that I've never dealt with a host I was 100% happy with. These days support is pretty terrible no matter who you're with as far as I can tell. It's really frustrating.

  • OHaifisch SnarkyShark (@OHaifisch) reported

    @polyeaster Unless you're doing something outrageously fancy, it's very easy to make one yourself with any service like @HostGator

  • Nesphalim 🐰 🦄 Kimberly 🦄 🐰 (@Nesphalim) reported

    @DigitalDonz @HostGator They used to be the best but since moving the tech support off shore the level of service has dramatically gone down hill. Avoid them if you can.

  • Antonio__Holman Antonio ♋ (@Antonio__Holman) reported

    @HGSupport ur support has been EXTREMELY poor over the last 3 months or so w/ support call non-native English language techs, massive lack of technical knowledge, disconnected support calls, & outright lying to me (user for many yrs) per post support tech. Subpar supervisors too.

    Last week, I worked with #firebase authentication to log the WordPress user in when a firebase login occurs. It was working fine on the local machine, but it’s giving a cross-origin access control error while using it on #HostGator 😨. I am trying to figure out the solution.

  • arielmedinav Ariel Medina (@arielmedinav) reported

    @HGSupport My server is down from 3:00:21 AM , ¿Somebody could give me a solution? There is a problem with your backup system. I have to give a solution to my customers.

  • faisal_saleem Faisal Saleem (@faisal_saleem) reported

    @HostGator This the reply when contacted with your online chat support. Thank you for your patience. We apologize for the inconvenience and know this is a frustrating situation. We are aware of some customer login attempts being blocked and our development team is investigating to find a

  • Nesphalim 🐰 🦄 Kimberly 🦄 🐰 (@Nesphalim) reported

    @mypenplease @HGSupport Agreed, it's terrible. They are mostly all incompetent and ask really weird questions.

  • arielmedinav Ariel Medina (@arielmedinav) reported

    @HostGator There are a problem with your backup system. It is taking more than 8 hours for 25 GB. I need my server working. I asked to cancel the backup task, no solution still. Case Number 32406881 .

  • v_Harmony HuneyVee (@v_Harmony) reported

    @HostGator how can I contact someone? I’ve called all week and I still don’t have an answer to my question. What’s the point of keeping my domain with you guys if your support is terrible?

  • TheCycleHub_net Doug Hook (@TheCycleHub_net) reported

    @HostGator I’ve been so fed up with images not uploading to my website and the re-size plugin not working, I simply upload screenshots now. Must be a better way? 🤔

  • labulgariefr Andrian Mihailov (@labulgariefr) reported

    @themarkdrake @HostGator Yes, I had once a customer who had only a IPV6 connection through its Internet service provider and I have configured the website whitout IPV6 support - the client was unable to see anything. Dead end.

  • jahil jahil (@jahil) reported

    @HostGator I have called, I have chatted and I have email. Actually, useful help=zero. Your support is a joke.

  • vwmannn Vitor Westman 🇧🇷🇦🇹🇨🇦 (@vwmannn) reported

    @Nichovski Run from #Hostgator. They are beyond awful. I am a user and I regret it every bit (and cent) of it. You can thank me later.

  • dontaedeon Deon Lundy (@dontaedeon) reported

    I've been a loyal customer with @HostGator for 10 years, but recently my shared server was compromised due to BF cyber attack - and company denies 2FA security. For that reason, I'll be leaving for a more secure option. I've heard good things about @GoDaddy .

  • themarkdrake Mark Drake (@themarkdrake) reported

    @HGSupport Hey Team at HostGator, much appreciated. I learned something else. We transferred a domain name from our previous registrar to you. During that transfer, the DNSSEC keys were left in place. Causing all manner of problems throughout the internet. This was the root cause.

  • PopunderTraffic Anshul Mahajan (@PopunderTraffic) reported

    @DavidVorick I am launching a new ad-server for which currently i use HostGator for serving ads. I want to understand how can i use Skynet for adserving? hosting my stuff over there... Help me please with some demo links.

  • noori_sz نوري (@noori_sz) reported

    @HostGator I wanna cancel the auto payment and delete my domain

  • ShivaPrasad_J Shiva P (@ShivaPrasad_J) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport case 32293103 . It’s been 10 days and am only getting replies saying it’s been worked out by back end team .... but no work around nor solution . A very bad experience with poor customer service

  • fatherreloaded Fatherhood: Reloaded (@fatherreloaded) reported

    So clearly I need to move everything off of @HostGator The up and down of the sites has become ridiculous! And it’s not due to resource usage, just unreliable servers.

  • LeelaNivedaM Leela Niveda Mahesh (@LeelaNivedaM) reported

    @HostGator I got a domain name from @HostGator last year. But didn't get a host. Because I don't have a system to launch a hosting. As your support says, it is difficult to do it with mobile. So I postponed buying hosting for that domain. I wasted my money. Still don't know how to host.

  • faisal_saleem Faisal Saleem (@faisal_saleem) reported

    @HostGator long term solution. As such, we have added this case to the tracker for this issue. Our Fraud Prevention system was improved recently and we are still ironing out the kinks. Unfortunately, we do not know when that fix will be available. We understand that this impacts your abilit

  • themarkdrake Mark Drake (@themarkdrake) reported

    I don't know if this is a thing. Is it possible - if a website host (@HostGator) doesn't support #ipv6, that internet users with ipv6 dns can't resolve your domain name and thus cannot access your website?
