  • RosieHendo1 Rosie Henderson (@RosieHendo1) reported

    I'm editing with elementor and moved from wp . com to hostgator but I can't work out how to get blogs to show on the blog page. I'm not really sure what to search for to troubleshoot this so someone who can make it make sense and then tell me how to fix it would be v appreciated!

    Anybody had good experiences with @bluehost ? I'm ready to pay $ to transfer all my sites (again) if it means someone will actually answer my support messages. Unlike @HostGator

  • rodatwood Rod Atwood (@rodatwood) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport - I have been a customer for almost 10 years. Our dedicated server is down now for over 8 hours for an OS reload with data retention. I have asked for an update and have not heard back. The ticket number is 33974002. Any help is really appreciated.

  • sherrismilez The Kitchen Rx (@sherrismilez) reported

  • HaydenFHaskins RealScamLikely (@HaydenFHaskins) reported

    @HostGator is the worst registrar, period.

  • lwolfe63 Linda Wolfe (@lwolfe63) reported

    @HostGator your tech support has really gone down hill. SO BAD!!!!

    @HGSupport Thanks. The issue is blocked up my end. I found a work around but thanks for responding back.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CORP (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator dont touch my **** unless I ask you to thanks You cost me enough progress, I am unsure Why you set my **** to a wordpress default but I fixed it, mess with my **** again and we will see you in court, got it?

  • Njaguofficial Edwin (@Njaguofficial) reported

    Even Hostgator or Bluehost is not upto @ScalaHosting level yet. Their uptime, security, backups, performance, pricing, customer support and many other features are on another level and I am saying this after using of all them.

  • HaydenFHaskins RealScamLikely (@HaydenFHaskins) reported

    @HGSupport Been on chat with your support for hours, y'all aren't helping. You deleted my client's entire DNS records, and do not have them backed up. You guys do some bullshit like this once a year.

  • isellmoney Eleanor Thorne (@isellmoney) reported

    @HGSupport getting tons of 500 errors?

  • ravriyagroup Ravriya Group® (@ravriyagroup) reported

    @rahulanand84 @hostgatorindia yes Hostgator India is worst,I am thinking of filing a complaint against them after sudden changes made by them in services from 2020

  • anzilone Mohammed Anzil (@anzilone) reported

    Hey @HGSupport @hostgatorindia Purchased a new domain from BigRock and added it to the Hosting and installed WordPress. While checking the site is not up now. Why? Please help me.

  • BruceLiebknecht Bruce Liebknecht (@BruceLiebknecht) reported

    Hello! My website has an unexpected problem right now. I get the message "PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /home2/dejapi/public_html/plantpets/includes/lock.inc)." Can you please investigate? @HostGator @HGSupport

  • TrinnityBlair Trinity 🥀🌼 (FREE Fansly) (@TrinnityBlair) reported

    @AerieSaunders @HostGator Wtf for sure! 😤

  • AerieSaunders aerie 👻 (@AerieSaunders) reported

    Lol @HostGator charged me twice for something I asked them to refund as per recommendation of their live chat support. I’m out $1000+ and in the negatives in my bank account. Might be using a new host. Wtf.

  • theRajeshSinha Rajesh Sinha (देवघर,झारखंड) (@theRajeshSinha) reported

    @hostgatorindia your #customercare standard was the most horrible and good for nothing. My 90 minutes wasted with no resolution. #hostgator sucks for hosting.

  • Ray1022LEE Ry Lee (@Ray1022LEE) reported

    @HostGator my website is extremely slow when connecting to the database from yesterday the chat service says it is due to overuse by the host owners. but this never happens

  • JAB4R Jab4r (@JAB4R) reported

    Never host your website or app on hostgator , once i hosted my app on their shared plan my email got spammed by emails from unknown people , they are selling your email and information , they hide it with ( your domain info is public ) but thats a lie

  • _Morgan_Anne J (@_Morgan_Anne) reported

    @HGSupport @sherrismilez Your server is definitely down. Not working for me either. Nor is my email

  • Leon__Chase Leon Chase (@Leon__Chase) reported

    Wow. I was excited to (finally!) put all my web domains in one place, and 50 minutes in, @HostGator is breaking my heart. Multiple dropped support chats over a simple domain-transfer problem. Do not recommend #hostgator

  • ksholloman Kevin Holloman (@ksholloman) reported

    @HGSupport Thanks. I have 63 websites, actually. Across 10 or so hosts. So, I feel fairly qualified to know if it’s hosting, or another factor causing the slow load times.

  • sherrismilez The Kitchen Rx (@sherrismilez) reported

    @HostGator Your website isn’t working. C panel and support/chat pages not loading.
