  • philinhongkong philinhongkong (@philinhongkong) reported

    Hey @HostGator - Your online support raised a security issue to a higher level a while ago with spam files appearing which we can't fathom the source. No word. How do I talk to someone at Hostgator because problem is still there. 16 years a customer and never felt so abandoned.

  • its_Mistix Ar-Jhay Vas (@its_Mistix) reported

    @HostGator I just realized your prices went up by what.... $5? I think it's time for me to leave. I've been a customer for way too long. #needcheaperhosting

  • rafauriega Rafa Uriega (@rafauriega) reported

    @HostGator What terrible and lousy customer service #Hosgator has in Latin America! Not only could they not help me, but they could never see my problem on their screens! I saw it on my computer, on 2 others and even on mobile phones! It seems only @godaddy is very supportive!👎

  • 7thcircledesign 7th Circle Designs (@7thcircledesign) reported

    PSA For anyone that uses or supports anyone on @HostGator check your #WordPress install. They have started adding and changing files again. @HGSupport was no help. #security #Hacked

  • K8_Monster Katheryn Moore (@K8_Monster) reported

    @jasoncrouch Clint says if your domain is down, just keep bugging HostGator until they fix it.

  • cthulhu247 Cthulhu 247 (@cthulhu247) reported

    @ezmedia @Michaeldrew1 @ezmedia did you manage to contact Michael? I contacted him long ago but no reply. Today most of his download links are down, Hostgator suspended :(

  • WebdevMr Mr.WebDev (@WebdevMr) reported

    @HostGator Is your portal login down?

  • RenanLibegato Renan Liberato (@RenanLibegato) reported

    @HGSupport Hey, that's fine, I happly found on your status page that there is a problem at my ISP with international routes. (the one I attached in PT-BR) Thanks for the info there and for promptly reaching out here!

  • SolarMayank NextGen Solar (@SolarMayank) reported

    @castella_erik @ionos_help_US @ionos_com Supervisor too busy to talk? Would really like to know what is more important to him/her than speaking with your customer. 8 years with 1&1 now switching to HostGator.

  • philinhongkong philinhongkong (@philinhongkong) reported

    @HGSupport As I posted openly I should resolve openly - I got a reply last night and the problem seems to have been identified. Don't know if that was you connecting the dots (if so thank you) but all is good and I think I will live to fight another day.

  • EvThatGuy Hollywood Ev (@EvThatGuy) reported

    Hostgator is probably the worst web host ever

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @AshokLobo1 @HostGator Hi, we replied to your other message and your ticket is being reviewed. Our Escalated Support will update you once they complete checking things out for you, and update you via email. - Tia

  • EmeliaPillay Emelia Pillay (@EmeliaPillay) reported

    Just moved to Hostgator as my new website host 💡... wondering what everything means getting set up. I found my previous host was a bit slow. No matter what I tried, I could not get the server load time to decrease on pagespeedinsights. So let’s see how we go with @HostGator 👏

  • JohnPullum John Pullum (@JohnPullum) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator My website was hacked and the tech support person doesn't seem to understand what's going on. She wants to charge me for virus protection and said my site wasn't hacked. It's hacked!!! I need to grow more hair so I can pull it out.

  • CaseyToGo Casey // ✨🎄 (@CaseyToGo) reported

    @thiscrazyblog I have a code for hostgator. Been with them for years. Lovely online chat service and will do anything for you, and make it make sense when it's done.

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @rabiulaezaz @HostGator @HGSupport Hi Rabiul, our Support team has sent you an update via Case ID: 29211717. Please do check the email and respond there if you have more queries.

  • DJCraigN Craig Niswonger (@DJCraigN) reported

    @HostGator you might want to send people a warning before autobilling their account for renewal. Guess who will never get a recommendation from me again?

  • wesdavenport Wes Davenport (@wesdavenport) reported

    @HGSupport Hi Tommy, it's been another 12 days since I last heard from support after multiple follow-ups, and my site still is not migrated. Moving to cancel if this isn't resolved shortly.

  • AshokLobo1 Ashok Lobo (@AshokLobo1) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport need your support as production sites are down. Even we are ready for dedicated hosting but support is very bad. Ticket 29379034 & 5744

  • magusxcom Mag (@magusxcom) reported

    Hey @PrestaShop I have an error installing 1.7.7.1 version. can i get some help? @HostGator

  • morricles Claire Fernanda Morris(Dobie) (@morricles) reported

    @HGSupport Let me in please. So tired of being accused of forgetting my password. Every password change I have to make is written down immediately. Why is it always the customer's fault?

  • omariftikhar Omar Iftikhar (@omariftikhar) reported

    How many of you are annoyed by @HostGator ads of "getting stuck sucks" being played before @YouTube videos? I know I am! But I guess I will one day buy a Hostgator domain for their persistent marketing! :D

  • PaGeMx PaGeMx (@PaGeMx) reported

    Reminder: Don’t mess with @HostGator they will try to steal your domains. Worst domain transfer experience ever. They don’t even know the .com domain policies correctly and @ICANN won’t help you on that (case # in hand).

  • shawnroland Shawn Roland (@shawnroland) reported

    @HGSupport hi, are mail servers currently down? I haven’t been able to access my email accounts for several hours.

  • TheoPlooij Theo Plooij (@TheoPlooij) reported

    @HGSupport You would have answered my emails to abuse and support if you took these cases seriously. @HGSupport

  • ashissgarg Ashish (@ashissgarg) reported

  • jasoncrouch Jason Crouch (@jasoncrouch) reported

    Having major issues today with my domain and associated email. Any experts who want to help? Dealing with HostGator and Gmail.

  • LaynaLandry Layna Landry 💫 they/her 18+ (@LaynaLandry) reported

    @Blonde_kitty_x Or well, “there” isn’t exactly right but you can probably even save whatever you’ve already done and just transfer it to hostgator, their support is really good at helping w anything you need!

  • Mykingdigital MyKing Digital Pvt. Ltd. (@Mykingdigital) reported

    Hey guys!! We are trying to get some help from @HostGator But no help is being provided to us. There are some technical errors. I would request you to not buy this hosting. We are IT Company and we recommended this hosting to our client. @hostgatorindia @HGSupport

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @7thcircledesign @HostGator @HGSupport Hostgator is getting worse day by day💁.. had same problem😔
