  • jeferod83 Jeferson Rodrigues (@jeferod83) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGatorBrasil My website is down WHM down What is happening? Some trouble again with dedicated servers?

  • monroeandco Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported

    When you migrate a site with .@HostGator to an upgraded server, they leave both accounts open and don't migrate all your services automatically... and then your site breaks. LIKE WTF

  • AdamsRM1 Ryan Adams 🐺 (@AdamsRM1) reported

    @HGSupport Your support staff keeps trying to charge me $25 to do a restoration of the site AFTER it went down. It is terrible @HostGator. The website was up on the 6th according to the internet archive, but the back ups are gone according to @HGSupport. It has not been repaired.

  • AdamsRM1 Ryan Adams 🐺 (@AdamsRM1) reported

    Hey @HostGator! You have the worst customer service I have ever encountered by a hosting site. Why is it impossible to get @HGSupport to do anything?

  • myscotlandtoday Iain Muir (@myscotlandtoday) reported

    @HGSupport All good, Tommy. I reset the router and repointed my VPN. Seems to have solved the issue. My fault this time so apologies for blaming you guys.

  • Ajaydeore1 AJ (@Ajaydeore1) reported

    5) I asked support Email they don't have Finally after 20-30 chat support executive we finally decided to shift from #HostGator HostGator is super cook until your website wont meet with Malware Thank you

  • AdamsRM1 Ryan Adams 🐺 (@AdamsRM1) reported

    @skystracloud I can't believe it. @hostgator had an outage and it wiped out our wordpress database and our DNS records. They haven't fixed anything and everyone I speak to at @HGSupport is totally unable to help us. I will be switching to a far better service as soon as possible.

  • Ajaydeore1 AJ (@Ajaydeore1) reported

    @HGSupport we just clean site with infinity360 from other service provider - they included that in cpanel #HostGator not giving this simple thing if Hostgator reseller having 200-300 websites and hit with malware he/she will be dead for sure LoL

  • partha06 Partha Goswami (@partha06) reported

    @hostgatorindia @BigRock Hostgator cloud hosting is much better than Bigrock, i spent whole day fixing speed things, But @BigRock team never accepted their fault - thats a feedback

  • BorjaAlcaraz Borja Alcaraz (@BorjaAlcaraz) reported

    @HGSupport the Live Chat does not work and I cannot contact you to solve a technical problem.

  • monroeandco Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported

    To reiterate, no one should EVER recommend .@HostGator .@HGSupport to their clients. Truly awful service for years and I can't believe I thought upgrading to a more $$$ expensive plan would make the support any better.

  • Sanji_vals Sanzhi Kobzhan (@Sanji_vals) reported

    Do you know what is the worst hosting company? @HostGator . I am using it for 6 months already, and I regret it. 1) ****** customer support. Solve 1 issue out of 10. 2) When I upload app files to the Hostgator, the design becomes broken 3)Cannot edit CSS files, only inside HTML.

  • AdamsRM1 Ryan Adams 🐺 (@AdamsRM1) reported

    @skystracloud I set up the DNS myself. @Hostgator utterly failed by: (1) letting the site go down and not alerting me to it (2) seeming to also wipe our backups that we are paying for And no one at @HGSupport seems to know what to do.

  • caspianexplorer Fuad Jalilov (@caspianexplorer) reported

    @VeronicaMitch1 @HGSupport They have unofficially discontinued ticket system. Making it hard to get help. And #hostgator chat only helps with basic issues

  • Ajaydeore1 AJ (@Ajaydeore1) reported

    @HGSupport I know the prices - my you promoting SiteLock too much?? Don't you provide services like infinity360 for resellers? Even it can be an add-on you should provide - instead of giving a solution for the third party also, What do you say about Support? No Tickets, No Support Email?

  • Mutasim_Eltayeb Mutasim Eltayeb (@Mutasim_Eltayeb) reported

    Was your customers' support always this bad? @HGSupport

  • oom_rl outofmemory 🌻 (@oom_rl) reported

    @abyssdomainxprt @HostGator Surprised to see Sophos picked it up. Never had good results with it. Guessing it's doing it on combo: heuristics of "tiny encrypted ISO" plus possibly a hash? I intentionally D/L'd on a box with MalwareBytes just to see whether it picked it up - nope.

  • AdamsRM1 Ryan Adams 🐺 (@AdamsRM1) reported

    @HGSupport So the website you host and whose domain name services you manage, which we pay for, went down and now we have to pay you to fix it? Even if you waive it, it doesn't fix the week of missing tech. Does @GoDaddy do this? Will I have a better experience with @GoDaddyHelp?

  • steps_to_change Cherry Tree Therapy Centre (@steps_to_change) reported

    @HGSupport our emails are not working, are you experiencing problems?

  • jkennedy_author Julian Kennedy-they/them #amediting (@jkennedy_author) reported

    @ViviAnneHunt I feel you. Mines being all weird and i spent 2 hours trying to solve a hostgator issue with my computer working jankily

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator Interesting, They deleted a previous identical post full of screaming (ex?-)customers - including me - last week. They've had us down three times in two weeks. And some imbecile "fixed" our site by deleting our carefully customised htaccess file! Move hosts. It's the only way.

  • caspianexplorer Fuad Jalilov (@caspianexplorer) reported

    They have unofficially discontinued ticket system. Making it hard to get help. And #hostgator chat only helps with basic issues. Asked chat guys for updates and the reply was: "Our team is working on the issue"

  • petsimk S. Simkus (@petsimk) reported

    @HostGator 503 Service Unavailable. Can not do anything right now. I wonder how long this will take 🤔.

  • partha06 Partha Goswami (@partha06) reported

    @BigRock your server is too slow but the support team blaming me and saying my script has an issue, But the same scripts does not show any server response issues on my previous issue hostgator i am not sure why you are denying your fault rather than fix it

  • AreMorch Are Morch (@AreMorch) reported

    @HGsupport I am not 100% sure but figure my blog is among the sites affected by the current issues not able to access or view the website. Just getting a critical error at this point.

  • Sanji_vals Sanzhi Kobzhan (@Sanji_vals) reported

    @HGSupport You were not able to solve my issues within the 6 months that I am using your services. Only solved 3 issues. For the rest, I was simply googling and found the answers.

  • Ajaydeore1 AJ (@Ajaydeore1) reported

    1) Support - The slowest support in work, it take 10-15 minute to connect, and 90% of the time does not resolve the problem 2) For example my reseller server got attacked with Malware - HostGator support chat suggesting me to try a third-party malware cleaner...

  • TarbellCameron Cameron Tarbell (@TarbellCameron) reported

    Time is money. Which is exactly why I don't do hosting business with GoDaddy. HostGator support wait time: <1 minute GoDaddy: Sometimes 5 minutes. Sometimes >8 hours. I need support now. not tomorrow. If you're thinking of hosting a site with GoDaddy, don't.

  • steps_to_change Cherry Tree Therapy Centre (@steps_to_change) reported

    @HGSupport Yes, the issue has not been resolved

  • Eunice_Nicholus Eunice Nicholus (@Eunice_Nicholus) reported

    @HGSupport what is your official email address for Customer support? kindly this is urgent
