    @turcotravel @HostGator You need help?

  • billydavies___ Billy Davies (@billydavies___) reported

    @TomFrankly Update - I've been in touch with @HostGator customer service and they made some changes to SSL and WordPress multisite settings. All is working now. Fantastic customer service. Thanks again for your assistance @TomFrankly!

  • mgzcom MGZC Radio (@mgzcom) reported

    @HGSupport DM @HGSupport The issue began about 5 or 6 days ago. Don't have exact time stamps. You can see by the ticket that different solutions were tried. In our shop this type of issue usually relates to server-level fails usually 500 errors due to services not completing their tasks.

  • mgzcom MGZC Radio (@mgzcom) reported

    @HostGator DM @hostgator The ticket number is 45789404. 5 different techs, five different temp fixes. No root cause found. After fixes, site back up for a few hours then time's out again. Need to check server logs for 500 errors, service(s) hung/crashed or dying server.

  • mgzcom MGZC Radio (@mgzcom) reported

    Our domain host @HostGator is still having DNS and name server issues. We have opened a priority ticket and are awaiting their response. We apologize for any inconvenience and will provide updates when available.

  • turcotravel Engin Turco (@turcotravel) reported

    My website on @HostGator is DOWN more than 6 hours, and they do not do anything, they don’t care about their customers! I am very stupid to use their service more than 10 years, where are they when I need help??? Maybe it is time to move somewhere else?

  • AnthonyDiMoro Anthony DiMoro (@AnthonyDiMoro) reported

    with many forking over hundreds of $$ in a panic Hostgator likely earns money for each referral. I have used other companies - HostDime, WPEngine, Kinsta, Cloudways, AWS, Bluehost and NEVER had an instance of Malware occur....

  • DanTasso Dan Tasso (@DanTasso) reported

    @HostGator in brazil is slow, access failure, chat support dropping all the time and WordPress with critical error... No resolution, only problems, I have dozens of accounts and I've been waiting for help for three days.

  • moseskinuthia18 moses kinuthia (@moseskinuthia18) reported

    @HGSupport I referred a customer to you and you deducted money from her card 45 days to the due date and have not responded to her emails what could be going on??

  • Subhash_CJangid Subhash (@Subhash_CJangid) reported

    When choosing a web hosting provider, it's important to consider factors such as reliability, uptime, customer support, and pricing. Some popular hosting companies include Bluehost, HostGator, and GoDaddy.

  • idiosarcasm Din Djarin (@idiosarcasm) reported

    @HostGator support is trash. Closed my support request without resolving the issue or confirming with me.

  • Juanbenegas85 Juan benegas (@Juanbenegas85) reported

    I had the WHMCS account offered by @HostGator out of service for 7 days. every day @HostGator tells me that in 24 hours they fix it. I am very disappointed. I leave it here written so that the disappointment of some clients with the company is recorded. Case 45692373

  • 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.

  • QPeezy Dwayne Q Vason (@QPeezy) reported

    @HGSupport HI, I'm experiencing a server issue with my website. Would you be able to look into this issue? Chat support was not able to resolve the issue

  • GHY_Intl GHY International (@GHY_Intl) reported

    @HostGator what an epic meltdown of service failures, we cannot believe the issues of database errors, and complete sites being down for hours, even though we VPS services with HostGator. This is catastrophic failure on all levels. Businesses cannot rely on HostGator any longer.

  • ThatLARRYSHOW ThatLARRYSHOW (@ThatLARRYSHOW) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport - a situation with my domain remains unresolved after a WEEK. Not a good look for your company. I host a podcast with a significant audience. How about some competent help?

  • officialskgupta Sandeep Gupta (@officialskgupta) reported

    Stop buying Server from @HostGator @hostgatorindia Very Unsecured Server. Your data and files are not safe. Worst experience with this sever company. Guys Stop 🛑 buying from today.

  • sherifAlSamman Sherif Al-Samman (@sherifAlSamman) reported

    @HGSupport websites and email server down on Egypt #hostgator

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • avitable Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) reported from Midway, Utah

    @xBobbiesworld Hostgator is decent. If you need help with anything, though, lmk.

  • digitalforest99 Sidra Hayat (@digitalforest99) reported

    Hostgator is the worst hosting company ever!! can not log in to my Cpanel, tried opening multiple tickets but their support team is an absolute noob and doesn't even know how their system works! @HostGator saying goodbye to Hostgator after being a loyal customer of over 8 years

    @angry_kpra @Alaena_hill @Rfmf_Media domain is currently registered with service provider Hostgator. If that service provider is compromised it could affect customer websites and services associated with the service provider. Hostgator have been hacked on numerous in previous occasions.
