Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HostGator Hi @HostGator I am still in the chat and now for 26 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.

Oscar H (@oshunu) reported@HGSupport @HostGatorES I already sent them the message, I need help as soon as possible.

Brian Modansky (@BrianModansky) reportedWired, and Revenue magazine. Later on HostGator got a deal with Google to parter and offer free hosting with the ability to sign up for Free Hosting in Google’s India region. I was put in charge of theming the control panel. Google promoted it and it got 140,000 sign ups in the first month. Later on my friend sold the company for $300,000,000. When it sold my buddy promised me that he would buy me a house and I would have a good payout and I would be able to work with him as a non profit building water wells to people in need. Later when I thought I would get millions he only gave me $130,000 and then moved several hours out of town in the middle of no where on a big ranch. I was very mad at him at the time because not just because I didn’t get millions of dollars like my other friends who I helped start the company with but the $130,000 I couldn’t buy a home. I was contracted to help stay at the company for a year and help transition to the new ownership. I stayed and instead of having to answer to just the founder I all of a sudden had a whole ladder of executives above me telling me what I should work on instead of having the creative freedom to direct myself. Then the downsizing started to occur. The new ownership layed off entire departments of people to outsource their work to 3rd party companies. I saw all my friends get fired and they did this to improve their numbers because they were planning on bringing the company

Ghayas uddin (@ghayasbst) reported@HGSupport Dear Hostgator, why is there still no solution for cpanel Security issues. Almost 48 hours are gone, our website is OFF. And not giving any ETA on this issue. We are losing our viewers which we built in years.

I REFUSE (@seanrogers8) reported@HostGator Looks like you all have been hacked again. Duplicated records DKIM DMARC SPF! When will you fix this?! @HGSupport
-
Tapish Jain (@_tapish) reported@BigRock The migration has so many bugs that it is impossible for me to renew my hosting that I had on hostgator. If I didn't renew by tomorrow, my servers will go down, while bigrock support says they are helpless. This video is misleading. @bhavintu

Chris McElroy SEO (@seochrismcelroy) reported@hostgatorserver Nice that you don't provide any phone support at all for domain names. I selected domain name in the menu. The people on the phone said since I don't have hosting with you they can't help me and nobody can help on the phone only in live chat that keeps getting disconnected while I wait on someone. Good job hostgator!

HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@dcodrea We know that popup looks sketchy, but it isn’t from your HostGator site; it’s a browser extension (Coupert) injecting coupon ads over your dashboard. Try incognito or another browser; if it’s gone, remove the extension. If not, support can help!

Juan luis | JLP (@juanluis_JLP) reported@HostGator Apparently it was a server issue but HG support was able to help and resolved it within minutes. Thank you, we are going on 5 years with HG 🐊🙌🏻

Daniel De la Cruz (@dadeze) reported@HostGator My server has been down for three weeks, and I still haven't received a response. They don't have any backups. I want to know if I should consider the data from my two accounts on the VPS lost.
-
SetraHost (@SetraHost) reportedThinking about leaving Bluehost, HostGator, GoDaddy or SiteGround? We make it easy with free same day migrations, zero downtime and real human support. No risk - just faster, more reliable hosting, at lower pricing. Let us know if you have any questions and we're here to help!
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported@HostGator @HGSupport @HostGator You still haven't answered the only question that matters: WHEN? "Assigned to the best team" doesn't help me after 9 DAYS of a completely locked-out server. Stop asking for patience and give me an actual ETA for ACOM-3138 immediately!

TBC🏄♂️❎ (@tennisballchips) reported@HostGator @WordPress Now it's created a whole new set of problems. At first, it kept directing me to some weird temporary domain. Then I logged in and updated the settings and now it's a 403 error page. Hours of my time is going down the drain for no reason.
-
Sir Charles Cary (@SirCharlesCary) reported@NewfoldDigital @HostGator How is it that a customer of 15 yrs is treated w/ such little regard? I have not received any notice stating that your company's policy is not to refund customers on advanced hosting payments when svc is discontinued after 3 failures in 2 months
-
Zombyboy (@zombyboy) reported@HostGator @DanMicovic I've been on two chats and three calls. I did get chat transcripts, but no emails with any information at all about how long I will be waiting. Not sure how sending you my information will help. I do know that tomorrow morning I'll be talking to my boss about KnownHost and InMotion as our new host. I'm hoping you will help make migration as easy as possible.

HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@Gabbybooks82 @HostGator We understand the seriousness of this situation and want to support you promptly. Please respond to us in the DM so we can provide a verification token and share more information to help resolve this.

Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reportedDay 9 of my server being completely DOWN with @HostGator. 📉 Provided all details via DM as requested, still nothing. Tickets ACOM-3138 & E-518989 haven't seen an email update in over 60 hours. What does it take to get an actual resolution? @HGSupport

Brian Modansky (@BrianModansky) reportedcustomer support and website designer to build HostGator’s employee training department while I was still doing website designer work also. We moved to Houston, TX when my buddy/boss bought a building in Houston, Tx. I ended up training over 1000 employees how to use their service and how to do chats, phone, and ticket customer service. I then taught several trainers on how to train employees and then went full time website and graphic designer for

✌ Brando™ 🇨🇦 Whistler (@surfingshreddie) reported@HGSupport yes. chat said it was my fault. phone help says it is a HGator issue and is fixing one website at a time
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported@HGSupport @HostGator @HGSupport "Updates will be emailed"? You haven't sent an email update in over 60 hours! 9 days of downtime with absolutely zero ETA is a massive failure. As a system administrator, I know this level of outage is unacceptable. Stop stalling and restore my server.
-
Geetha Prabhu (Workflexi) (@geetu11) reported@BigRock @hostgatorindia Can someone call me on my registered mobile no. pls? Every week our emails are down and your team takes one whole day to rectify the problem. When it was hostgator, we never faced this issue. What is that you guys are doing differently that we have to suffer every week!!??

Eder (@Eder55164219) reported@HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@Hostgator @HGSupport We are entering Week 2 without access to revenue producing websites and still no updates from "escalated support team". This is obviously beyond HG scope as no other hosts are still struggling with this issue. Unacceptable.

Neumie Awards (@NeumieAwards) reported@HostGator I'm a reseller and all my customers' sites are STILL DOWN and where is the fix???
-
Mehmet (@mettersoy) reportedHostGator support eventually confirmed it: “All outbound connections are blocked.” Yes. The server could not make outbound HTTPS requests (port 443). If you’re a dev, you already know: That breaks EVERYTHING.
-
Karen Lakeman (@KarenLakeman) reported@hostgator bad customer service again!
-
Neumie Awards (@NeumieAwards) reported@HGSupport @HostGator my VPS has been up and down for almost five days now. Every chat session is "we know and we are working on it." Come on! What are you doing? I need this fixed
