  • terrassacat Terrassa Catalunya (@terrassacat) reported

    @HGSupport You ask me to signup for your antivirus paid service. That service is included on other hosting companies. This looks suspiciously a setup by you! ENOUGH!!

  • tehseenkhan009 Tehseen💻 (@tehseenkhan009) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport This is my second website on ur server rhat got compromised. I contacted ur support and they wait for 48 hrs? Wait for 48 hrs to be ****** more?

  • rotto_balli Monuments funeraires, Marbre et Granit ROTTO-BALLI (@rotto_balli) reported

    @HGSupport For what? To do nothing and ask to buy your #sitelock antivirus service? WHAT A JOKE !

  • tehseenkhan009 Tehseen💻 (@tehseenkhan009) reported

    @EngrFarmann @HostGator @HGSupport I hope they resolve my refund issue now

  • stephanwozniak Steve Wozniak (@stephanwozniak) reported

    @HostGator “HostGator locked my domains when I attempted to move them to another registrar, and in the process of trying to resolve it, accidentally granted me full ownership of another one of their customer’s domain names.” - Steve Wozniak

  • belagaytan Bela Gaytan (she/her) (@belagaytan) reported

    Apparently chatting with @HostGator tech support @HGSupport is interpreted as "make things worse so that my site won't even load". 🙄

  • illGatesMusic ill.Gates “The Future” Out NOW :) (@illGatesMusic) reported

    @EthaanJack Thank you. Their support were TERRIBLE. Trying to gaslight me and then pass the buck on to @HostGator. So wack. HostGator wasn’t even involved in this domain!

  • tufail_khan215 Muhammad Tufail Khan (@tufail_khan215) reported

    @tehseenkhan009 @HostGator @HGSupport Most probably the paid partners and workers would contradict the claims but it is evident from the chat screenshot !!! well-done. The business is never ever a one way road that you took the money and do not provide the service you paid for

  • NNtseh Sweetness (@NNtseh) reported

    @HostGator I'm aware of your pricing plans. I mean... Can't you guys just give me some special consideration? You won't be losing, but gaining 1 more customer for next year, as well as other accompanying services

  • terrassacat Terrassa Catalunya (@terrassacat) reported

    @HGSupport So you answer me by selling me another service? Omg! You are becoming scammers !!!

  • MyDogeAccount ThisIsMyDogeAccount (@MyDogeAccount) reported

    For any @Onlyfans creators who are looking to move off platform and host their own content. @HostGator allows you to host adult content. And if you're looking to accept payment don't worry about MasterCard or Visa use #Dogecoin Need help? Reach out to me #onlyfans

  • IdeasApatridas Ideas Apátridas (@IdeasApatridas) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport My VPS server is not working all my sites are down. I talked to support but its still having issues I need a solution ASAP!!

  • SheIsViBRANt ⊹ ˙˖ ც𝘳ꪖꪀᦔꪗ ˖˙ ⊹ (@SheIsViBRANt) reported

    Probably got on @HostGator’s nerves as many times as I hopped on the support queue because of all of the obstacles. At one point, my IP was whitelisted and I could not see my site on my home network. Then, I got locked out of my own WordPress. That was a 3-4 hour ordeal.

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @terrassacat @HostGator Just don't change into @HostMetro They are GOD OF WORST.

  • nitin_mohanka Nitin Mohanka (@nitin_mohanka) reported

    @GoDaddyHelp When I contacted your Customer Care yesterday, they asked me to shift to VPS just because I want to create Functions in MySQL. These Functions can easily be created on Hostgator Shared Hosting

  • um_cloudy cloudy day (@um_cloudy) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport you are the most terrible customer service. this is really the last pain-staking time i deal with you. kiss 5 sites goodbye.

  • emilywillisxexo Emily Willis (@emilywillisxexo) reported

    @rotto_balli @HostGator In my honest opinion support team seem not interested in helping. I was hacked also and I’ve laid complaints and still nothing from them, lucky i ran into some recommendations about @utopiantechh I explained to them and they helped me get back my account

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @terrassacat Since we do not provide malware scanning and cleaning services we recommend the use of the SiteLock service, which is a partner of HostGator. This service is optional and you can use any 3rd party security service you want to add more protection to your website.

  • belagaytan Bela Gaytan (she/her) (@belagaytan) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator For now, it's fixed. I came to support with a minor issue. After speaking with 2 techs, they caused worse problems. Unacceptable...especially when they claim it was just a caching issue.

  • tehseenkhan009 Tehseen💻 (@tehseenkhan009) reported

    @EngrFarmann @HostGator @HGSupport That is exactly happened to me on their portal support

  • tehseenkhan009 Tehseen💻 (@tehseenkhan009) reported

    @ishamulhaq511 @HostGator @HGSupport I hope so , they said they re recommending me but idk what ******** wd happen

  • VJShordee444 I AM Valerie & trump is still dangerous (@VJShordee444) reported

    @WatchingWhatYou @HostGator Isn’t that true. Ppl don’t realize that one simple act of kindness can help someone they done even know. We need to do more

  • ishamulhaq511 𝕀ℍ𝕋𝔼𝕊ℍ𝔸𝕄 𝕌𝕃 ℍ𝔸ℚ 𝕤𝕙𝕒𝕞 (@ishamulhaq511) reported

    @tehseenkhan009 @HostGator @HGSupport Hope they help this time but i am hopeless since they never help👎👎

  • missmeaghan missmeaghan (@missmeaghan) reported

    @HostGator I'm not able to log into the HostGator Portal and your password reset option isn't working. I can't even let you know about it because I have to log in to said portal to submit a support ticket. Can I get some help?

  • CrazeNOK CrazNOK (@CrazeNOK) reported

    @tehseenkhan009 @HostGator @HGSupport I've used hostgator for 10+ years now. Never once had an unauthorized entry. You're doing it wrong.

  • nightmare49 Gaurav V Shaha (@nightmare49) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport @HostGator I had paid my renewal amount 2 days prior to expire but still my vps server is down. Now support is saying it will be resolved tomorrow. What support hostgator is giving to a vps server? Case ID - 34572267
