@Mandoline_Blue @HostGator Is it on DIrect Debit? If so, cancel that with your bank. Ditto if auto renew on your credit card (tho you’d have to do on their website I’m guessing). Wherever it’s deducted from, go there and cancel. Good luck!

@ethan_reimann There aren't worst web hosting companies than Bluehost and HostGator. They're owned by the same conglomerate and either your website will go down or you'll get malware. Guess what? They won't care, don't listen to affiliates and marketers, they're our for commissions.

@HostGator is the worst. They cancelled my hosting plan for no reason and was told 2 days ago that they’d restore my data and have been given the runaround since!

@hostgatorindia @HostGator I purchase hosting today and after uploading web files I am getting only lodder on my web URL. I tried to contact support via the given numbers but no one is joining the call. Worst experience

@isobel_b @writerlane @HostGator So after 5 weeks this issue of sending emails to outlook/hotmail accounts continues. As a reseller this is extremely embarrassing as it appears that nothing had been done to resolve this problem. What’s up?

@HostGator I have emailed them about this twice, only to get the response, "Rest assured, we can create the invoice for the redemption fee of USD 75" on both occasions so obviously, one is reading my emails and responding to my needs as a customer. No one is resolving the issues. None cares

Anyone know how to cancel a website hosting with Hostgator without being fleeced? @HostGator I cancelled my auto-renew today & they emailed me to say they'll take ANOTHER payment on the 24 Dec before closing my account! 😡 My last payment was 20th Nov. Doesn't seem right!

@Mandoline_Blue @HostGator Cancel the direct debit with your bank.

@dimkiriakos In other words, it's not that shared hosting can't work nicely for Laravel, it's that I'm not sure the steps I took to get a project to work on DreamHost would help someone using HostGator or SiteGround, etc... whereas configuring an Ubuntu box feels a bit more universal.

@dr_casey It's an @HGSupport issue ... certain users on cellular data get this, and they've never been able to explain why. Try on wifi if you can?

@theBuoyantMan @elonmusk Correct me if I'm wrong, but Apple's 30% applies to all app revenue, including in-app purchases. That's poor economics for app owners. That's like GoDaddy and Hostgator taking a cut of your revenue for hosting your website.

@SiteLock How can I speak to a manager from support directly? I’ve been dealing with issues on 2 websites for almost a month now, with no resolutions. @HostGator

@CurtisMatthews Had the same problem until I upgraded to Cloud. By the time I talked to customer support, it had usually already fixed itself, but happened regularly like multiple times a week. Personally, I suspect HostGator has overloaded its shared servers and putting profits over service.

@johnc10uk @HostGator Feels like daylight robbery to me. Means I'm effectively paying for two months when I'm not using the site. I only paid them 9 days ago. And now they want more. Not happy. Do you know a better hosting service John? I'll need one for my new site, going up in spring.

@Mandoline_Blue @HostGator There is a way but you have to be determined Phone CC company and tell them you lost your card and they will cancel it and post you a new one. The CVC and end date will be different so effectively a new card

@HostGator split my invoices which were all in one last year, took automatic renewal for the $128 host sharing but not for the $18.99 domain (why was the invoice even split this year?), now asking me to pay $75 extra to save my website. Customer sunk cost fallacy manipulation.
