  • Sathe2Datta Sathe Dattatraya (@Sathe2Datta) reported

    Very worst service by @HostGator Very #slow #server Don’t buy, only 1st month working good after that service very bad

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport Fine using iPhone, no change. Have you changed available ports for POP mail? I've been set to 995 incoming and 465 outgoing (SSL) for years. not not working. Yesterday it was an error saying encryption type wasn't supported. ???

  • IKnowSheTwitent Coach| Consultant|Graphics Design|Brander|Creator (@IKnowSheTwitent) reported

    because this is the same attempt that Allison was doing at HostGator the father and his nasty brother and they’ve been doing this for a long time Joseph is part of this problem as well at Go Daddy and Cohen are part of that problem I’m justified suing

  • sonyarandrews Sonya Andrews (@sonyarandrews) reported

    @MRFrenchDesign @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp I try to stay away from the biggest of the big shared hosting companies as they are largely overprices pains in the *** and customer service is horrid. GoDaddy is a prime example. Bluehost, Hostgator, InMotion Hosting, and Siteground are all on my banned list.

  • MichaelLJoshua Michael Joshua (@MichaelLJoshua) reported

    @HostGator why do my sites keep going down? It seems that every week one is down

  • johnmcduffie John McDuffie (@johnmcduffie) reported

    Suggestions for #hosting websites? @HostGator has just been a nightmare. Database errors. Days to get a response or resolution. Lost email data blamed on a failed migration. That excuse is getting old. So I'm looking for new hosting homes for myself and all my clients. And...go!

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HGSupport @aaronpeta @HostGator You're saying that with a straight face?? I've had HG "support" people edit our .htaccess files and completely screw up all of redirect rules, etc. And right now our outgoing email server is unavailable without ANY changes at our end. Delinquent and incompetent.

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport DMed you... Please help me to remove all .htaccess files from hosting from all domains..

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Please help me to remove all .htaccess files from all domains from whole hosting..

  • DeMarco4LEON Anthony DeMarco for the Children, 2022🪙🛣️ (@DeMarco4LEON) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator My issue is remote code execution and malware

  • KyleDingler KD 💬 (@KyleDingler) reported

    @HostGator What is happening? Today your servers are completely unreachable and yesterday all of the files on my ftp were completely GONE. Every website just deleted. Now your support chat never loads. I'd like a refund for the entirety of my hosting package. Awful service.

  • nyonimkata Mkata Ndomondo (Babu) (@nyonimkata) reported

    @HostGator How can we survive without your support, i am having DNS issues for months now, i reported to chat nth times with no solution. Everytime ticket created but no one back to me.

  • Brandon_Connell Brandon Connell (@Brandon_Connell) reported

    @HGSupport ALL of my websites are having database issues!

  • johnmcduffie John McDuffie (@johnmcduffie) reported

    @HostGator says my PIN is wrong when I contact support. Keep in mind I was logged into my hosting account when I started the chat session from within my account. Support moron says reset pin. I can't because I can't access my ******* email.

  • IKnowSheTwitent Coach| Consultant|Graphics Design|Brander|Creator (@IKnowSheTwitent) reported

    So I never lied about the registrar tampering I never lied about the website tampering and I never lied about suing the brakes off of each HostGator Ionos and GoDaddy because I had to go back to go Daddy and it was still going on and I'm ready to sue all of them involved

  • junxgmo JM. (@junxgmo) reported

    @pessoasc @HostGator Honestly Kelvin_limit on Instagram can help you with the panel issue so you could have access back to your account, I was just scrolling then I decided I should share with you.

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Please help me to remove all .htaccess files from all domains from whole hosting..

  • intileotech Intileo Technologies (@intileotech) reported

    @HostGator your servers are consistently going down almost everyday. Its creating a lots of problems for us. Our websites are down. Even today the server is down for last more than 2 hrs. Pl. let us know issue and TAT to get it sorted.

  • aspen_eyes aspen eyes (@aspen_eyes) reported

    between learning wix is BDS and muskrat's latest stunt I'm gonna be rebuilding my website, who's your fav old school "install wp or code from sctatch" web host. I'm talking **** like hostgator, godaddy etc but maybe there's one better than those? I've fallen out of the loop lol

  • JEllulz some Tweeters you’ve liked (@JEllulz) reported

    @kchironis GoDaddy has gone downhill in a majorly disappointing way. I remember when they had really good customer support. I moved all my domains to Google Domains and hosting to HostGator and a couple others. I don't see myself ever going back to GoDaddy.

  • johnmcduffie John McDuffie (@johnmcduffie) reported

    @HostGator the support guy I was talking to just stop responding. The internet version of hanging up on someone.

  • bitchardayoade Bubbles (@bitchardayoade) reported

    Someone get @HostGator a lil blue pill cos my hosting is down more often than it’s up

  • juliakolens Julia ✨ (@juliakolens) reported

    @HostGator why is my website down again for like 100th time in the past 2 months? What’s happening with your servers?

  • johnmcduffie John McDuffie (@johnmcduffie) reported

    @HostGator Going on a week now and I have heard nothing from my support ticket. You hsve to be one of the worst #hosting companies I've dealt with to date. And looking at Twitter and Google, everyone seems to agree with me. Horrible customer support..

  • keithlaw keithlaw (@keithlaw) reported

    @wellsoliver I did love that book. (Try the site on wifi. This is a @hostgator problem.)

  • gemellisx Gemma Louise (@gemellisx) reported

    @HGSupport Yes I was told it’s because I’m on a shared server? Never had this issue with my last host on a shared server. Never heard of a site going down constantly because of one and I only moved to save money but wishing I hadn’t bothered now

  • GeorgiaAnnEssex Georgia Ann Essex 🍂 (@GeorgiaAnnEssex) reported

    @gemellisx @HostGator Oh dear, I'm with Host Gator too. My site hasn't gone down but it's very slow 😬

  • gemellisx Gemma Louise (@gemellisx) reported

    @juliakolens @HostGator Yeah I’m moving as soon as I’m back at work in January. My traffic is down so much, it’s terrible

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Need urgent help and your support aren't in mood of helping and trying their best to sell me their by-products instead...
