  • ArewaParrot Zainab 💍 (@ArewaParrot) reported

    The biggest hosting scam is @HostGator . They suspend your domains and ask you to pay over $100 to restore what they brought down. After payment, then they also go ahead and change your domain nameservers and therefore you'll lose all your files with backup. They then ask you

  • TheUnknown2089 TheUnknown (@TheUnknown2089) reported

    Without a doubt @HostGator is the worst hosting platform available, absolute garbage

  • ksholloman Kevin Holloman (@ksholloman) reported

    @HGSupport Thanks. I have 63 websites, actually. Across 10 or so hosts. So, I feel fairly qualified to know if it’s hosting, or another factor causing the slow load times.

  • NaturalThinker3 Zero Cool 3 (@NaturalThinker3) reported

    Steal the money damn thieves **** you @HostGator

  • MichaelSosonkin Michael Sosonkin (@MichaelSosonkin) reported

    @HostGator 😡 Our shared biz account is down for 20 hours!

  • alkindi20071 Alkindi (@alkindi20071) reported

    @HostGator You are hosting my website which is off and do not know why. your support channels are closed. Your live chat is off You do not have an email to contact you

  • theRajeshSinha Rajesh Sinha (देवघर,झारखंड) (@theRajeshSinha) reported

    @hostgatorindia your #customercare standard was the most horrible and good for nothing. My 90 minutes wasted with no resolution. #hostgator sucks for hosting.

  • AerieSaunders aerie 👻 (@AerieSaunders) reported

    Lol @HostGator charged me twice for something I asked them to refund as per recommendation of their live chat support. I’m out $1000+ and in the negatives in my bank account. Might be using a new host. Wtf.

  • darpangoyal17 Darpan Goyal (@darpangoyal17) reported

    @hostgatorindia HostGator got the worst service ever- Since last 2 weeks my DEDICATED MANAGED SERVER is down and @hostgatorindia is not able to fix it. Not believe me? Call me, I'll show proofs +91-9888882551 DO NOT AVAIL THEIR SERVICE.

    @HostGator I'm experiencing the worse customer service with you all now. It's been this way for about a week.

  • HaydenFHaskins RealScamLikely (@HaydenFHaskins) reported

    @HostGator is the worst registrar, period.

  • Leon__Chase Leon Chase (@Leon__Chase) reported

    Wow. I was excited to (finally!) put all my web domains in one place, and 50 minutes in, @HostGator is breaking my heart. Multiple dropped support chats over a simple domain-transfer problem. Do not recommend #hostgator

  • dober4am Dober (@dober4am) reported

    @HostGator website down?

    @AerieSaunders @HostGator Wtf for sure! 😤

  • RosieHendo1 Rosie Henderson (@RosieHendo1) reported

    I'm editing with elementor and moved from wp . com to hostgator but I can't work out how to get blogs to show on the blog page. I'm not really sure what to search for to troubleshoot this so someone who can make it make sense and then tell me how to fix it would be v appreciated!

  • michaelcbrown Mr. Brown (@michaelcbrown) reported

    @HostGator failed to auto-renew our SSL cert, sent us no notices about it (even though all our payment info sn current) and even though we've since been charged the money for the SSL, our website is effectively down for another 48-72 hours. What's the phone number for @GoDaddy?

  • HaydenFHaskins RealScamLikely (@HaydenFHaskins) reported

    @HGSupport Been on chat with your support for hours, y'all aren't helping. You deleted my client's entire DNS records, and do not have them backed up. You guys do some bullshit like this once a year.

  • ArewaParrot Zainab 💍 (@ArewaParrot) reported

    @ShehuAwwal @HostGator I guess I have to follow your suggestion. The domains are all active. It's hurts me so much going through this. Gross extortion. I have over 26 domains with them. My favorite was @Namecheap and I have never had any issues with them

  • Bitcoin_Mafia Cynthia T (@Bitcoin_Mafia) reported

    @HostGator Why doesn't your support chat ever work? It just keeps buffering and never loads.

  • Leon__Chase Leon Chase (@Leon__Chase) reported

    Anybody had good experiences with @bluehost ? I'm ready to pay $ to transfer all my sites (again) if it means someone will actually answer my support messages. Unlike @HostGator

  • rodatwood Rod Atwood (@rodatwood) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport - I have been a customer for almost 10 years. Our dedicated server is down now for over 8 hours for an OS reload with data retention. I have asked for an update and have not heard back. The ticket number is 33974002. Any help is really appreciated.

  • ShehuAwwal Shehu Awwal (@ShehuAwwal) reported

    @ArewaParrot @HostGator Has the domain expired? I dont see any reasons for them to take down your domain unless may be it has to do with hosting, Why not get a VPS with digitalocean And if you’re looking for a shared hosting, I would recommend ifastnet which I have been using for like 6years.

  • MichaelSosonkin Michael Sosonkin (@MichaelSosonkin) reported

    @HGSupport 35469258, 35462341 We sorta checking our emails too often. So they 'suspended' whole hosting account. Websites down (15 of them) and emails down (33). WELL DOWN!!!

  • ArewaParrot Zainab 💍 (@ArewaParrot) reported

    to pay again to restore your files. I have never seen any fraudulent hosting company compared to @HGSupport before. This is ridiculous. The support team disappears the moment you start asking questions. Over 5 domains have been suspended without any reason. I have over 23 domains

  • CathyKWeb CathyK (@CathyKWeb) reported

    My reseller account had been with HostGator and their support was great. I just couldn’t justify renewing with them, even tho they just fixed any problem I had. There’s nobody to call for help now, only the internet & stress over 100s of details 🤯. #aws #lightsail #webhosting

  • omkarnathnandi omkar nath nandi (@omkarnathnandi) reported

    @hostgatorindia I have stayed with you from 2012 but due to insensitive price increase with poor support and bad quality infrastructure i am now at the edge completely leaving hostgator. Will you suggest direct dedicated server/vps for a site with 2k monthly visitors? thats whats forced on me..
