  • Nisha360 Nisha Varghese 🇿🇦 🇪🇭 (@Nisha360) reported

    @HGSupport hi i'm getting "Not Acceptable! An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security." when i try to log into the backend of my site plz help urgently

  • SetraHosting SetraHost (@SetraHosting) reported

    @gwiaz_ Considering they're owned and operated by the same company, I'd suggest staying away from Newfold Digital companies all together if you're not satisfied with the service from one. This includes Bluehost, HostGator, Network Solutions, iPage & more.

  • 512Hosting 512 Hosting (@512Hosting) reported

    @SteveCoxsey Hey Steve, The unfortunate thing is that Newfold Digital often buys out hosting companies. They own BlueHost, Newfold Digital owns HostGator, NetworkSolutions, among others. Bluehost now outsourced all support also.

  • gillan_williams Gillan Williams (@gillan_williams) reported

    @HGSupport It took 5 attempts to finally get a rep who helped me resolve the issue (which they did)

  • ChrisClennan Chris Clennan (@ChrisClennan) reported

    When the same code doesn't work on GoDaddy, but works on Hostgator. GoDaddy tells you to fix the code instead of them fixing their product.

  • thesamim thesamim (@thesamim) reported

    @HGSupport Server stability: understood, and commendable, but MySQL is Four (4) releases behind! If we could afford to upgrade and do our own tech support, we would do it. We can't.

  • 512Hosting 512 Hosting (@512Hosting) reported

    @TheWatcher1978 This is what happens when Newfold Digital purchases hosting companies, they own BlueHost, HostGator, NetworkSolutions, etc. Their support is outsourced now.

  • JaradWright Jarad Wright (@JaradWright) reported

    @HostGator with the A1 customer service today!!!

  • s_ketharaman Ketharaman Swaminathan (@s_ketharaman) reported

    @HGSupport I've already complained once via email and twice via chat support re. SSL not working on my website. Everytime your CSR said they've installed SSL, it will work in 1-2 hours. But it still is not working after days. I'd like to escalate this issue. Please advise.

  • gillan_williams Gillan Williams (@gillan_williams) reported

    Every time I try to use your chat support, it goes dead. Why won’t your reps help me resolve this security issue. I think they’d prefer not to, so they’re hanging up the chat. @HGSupport ?

  • techmomogy nicole | T E C H M O M O G Y (@techmomogy) reported

    @ethanjaack Already spoke to @HostGator CS and they just said their policy is not to provide refunds. Currently waiting for possible help from @HGSupport. We did successfully move her and rebuild her site already so she's all set. Just trying to get her money back for the remaining 2 years.

  • thesamim thesamim (@thesamim) reported

    @HostGator : support tells me MySql servers will not be upgraded for shared hosting accounts. Current HG MySql version: 5.6.41-84.1 latest MySQL version 8.0.31. Performance and security issues! Please consider upgrading!

  • KvngEvy Kupolati Everest, M.B.A (@KvngEvy) reported

    Whatever you do! Never ever use @HostGator. Very useless hosting service.

  • TariqKadri Tariq Kadri (@TariqKadri) reported

    Anyone else having issues with Hostgator right now? Customer website is down. Database issues. @HGSupport

  • pineapplexps Pizza with ananas (@pineapplexps) reported

    @HostGator Do not ever buy any services from @HostGator !!! They are the worst! The support team will never help you! They will take your money and after they will not help with anything! Been on the phone with them 20 times and nobody is helping me!

  • bridges_ren Ren Bridges (@bridges_ren) reported

    @HGSupport This is a brand new, basic (no frills) site still in the initial stages of development. There's zero way this is overusing CPU. I'm seeing similar issue reports all over the internet. What's going on on your end with your service?

  • queen_ameenata HRH Queen Ameenata (@queen_ameenata) reported

    @HGSupport I purchased a domain in Sept 2022 and it has not worked for me to build my site. The run around is real. Now u want another $12 to register when I paid everything in September. help!

  • gwiaz_ Ryan G (@gwiaz_) reported

    @HostGator sends an invoice for my annual payment. Their site won't accept a $143 payment. These are the people that HOST sites I build for clients, and they are all currently suspended bc their site is broken. All my sites are down, and all my clients are PISSED. Use @bluehost

  • Nisha360 Nisha Varghese 🇿🇦 🇪🇭 (@Nisha360) reported

    @HGSupport i sent u dm with screenshot plz help urgently

  • avernalaw Anthony Verna (no blue check mark) (@avernalaw) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Your tech support has gone downhill VERY quickly. I'm calling for help to get Outlook set up on my new laptop and all the person has to do is give me the right port numbers and she's unable to do that. I remember you used to have tech professionals.

  • aidakurdi2 aida kurdi (@aidakurdi2) reported

    @HostGator its the same problem happens again and over again and that upsets.. the worst service ever we paid money and we still stuck with

  • ProfessorFrenzy Professor Frenzy (@ProfessorFrenzy) reported

    @spookychan I use HostGator and am very happy with them. I have had an exceptional experience with their tech support.

  • perolahammar PerOla Hammar 陈家悦 (@perolahammar) reported

    @HGSupport , I messaged you again. Same problem as several times before with my hosting. Please fix asap. It has been down for days

  • BreakingManc Breaking Manchester (@BreakingManc) reported

    @ethanjaack I am, I have hosting already with Hostgator and don't have any issues, apart from the cost. Thinking about IONIS

  • SetraHosting SetraHost (@SetraHosting) reported

    @YogawithSuzi That’s unfortunately what happens when Newfold Digital buys out hosting companies. I’d suggest staying away from any of their companies if you’re not satisfied with the current support. They own BlueHost, HostGator, NetworkSolutions & so many others.
