    @HostGator STAY AWAY FROM HOSTGATOR THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT HELP YOU. WE PAID FOR AN EMAIL MIGRATION AND THEY AREN'T DOING IT, WON'T GET ON THE PHONE TO DISCUSS

  • sleepybull74 fangdangle74 (@sleepybull74) reported

    @HostGator is the absolute worst. supervisor's won't get on the phone, customer service can't solve the issue, we paid for an email migration and they REFUSE TO DO IT. THEY PUT YOU ON HOLD FOR HOURS AND THEN HANG UP.

    I’m determined to fix this problem tonight. Although I’m 90% sure it’s just Hostgator being 🗑 again.

  • sleepybull74 fangdangle74 (@sleepybull74) reported

    @HostGator @hostgator customer service is absolute trash. We've been customers for five years, can't anyone on the phone to migrate our emails after we spent more money with them to upgrade to a cloud server. It's been 2 weeks. They don't respond to emails, they put you on hold for hours.

  • lrfdev LRF 👩🏽‍💻 (@lrfdev) reported

    Meanwhile #Hostgator can’t refund me when the problem is actually on their end…or fix their servers so that my form data comes through. Done.

    @fdshakil Hostgator sucks

  • wordslikerad wordslikerad.sol (@wordslikerad) reported

    @HGSupport I cancelled, it was an obscene amount of contacts, like grotesque. Too bad since I was hoping to have a good experience. Maybe rethink that aspect of your companies business model

  • DarwishZahwan Darwish Zahwan | درويش زهوان (@DarwishZahwan) reported

    @HGSupport thank you so much, that's why i'm still with hostagtor, because of superior customer service, but the service is a bit unstable lately, it came back now, but who knows, it might gone tomorrow, in all cases thank you .

  • lrfdev LRF 👩🏽‍💻 (@lrfdev) reported

    @HGSupport I already did and you guys could not solve my problem.

  • lrfdev LRF 👩🏽‍💻 (@lrfdev) reported

    Spent about 1-1.5 hours coding and 2-3 hours trying to fix whatever is stopping my form from being submitted through Hostgator to no avail. Happy to know my code isn't the problem though.

  • saddam_rahil rahil hussain (@saddam_rahil) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia My server is completely down from past half n hour and there has been no response from support . Please need help ASAP.

    @bluehost @HostGator We, of course, report it there every time. Reaction times are massively high and sadly sometimes no takedown takes place. So please give your poor abuse team more resources.

  • lrfdev LRF 👩🏽‍💻 (@lrfdev) reported

    Having yet another problem with @HostGator. The only reason I stayed with them after my horrible experience was because I had already paid for a yearly plan and it’s too late for a refund.

  • Ramiromunoz Ramiro Muñoz Arévalo (@Ramiromunoz) reported

    What an awful service @HostGator #fail #hosting

  • TechsquadF Techsquad Academy Foundation (@TechsquadF) reported

    @HostGator Converted hosting into yearly plan. After taking a year charge. Suspended generated in next month. Poor company.

  • thstaff Tommy Stafford (@thstaff) reported

    Thanks @HostGator for wasting my entire morning. You scheduled an appointment for a phone design and tech support call today 8:30A to 10:30A. I cleared the morning to make it happen. Nothing. Crickets. This is try number 3. Literally trying to hand people money. And they fail.

    Pathetic support, my email is disabled for spamming, how many emails? 8-10 emails a week. That's absurd @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia

  • lrfdev LRF 👩🏽‍💻 (@lrfdev) reported

    Honestly #Hostgator is the worst web host I’ve ever used and I’m never using it again. This has been too many fails - all on their end. I’m just upset that I’ve already paid for a yearly subscription and can’t afford to move to another web host right now.
