    Me: My client gave me the wrong password and I think my ip is blocked for too many failed attempts. Can you fix for [ip addy]? HostGator: Let me look *2 minutes later* HostGator: Everything seems fine here, I can see the WHM login page. Call your ISP to fix.

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HostGator For example, my website is down. My customers leave a negative review on Google. Which affects my marketing department, increased customer service issues, and billing.

  • paddolker Satheesh Paddolker (@paddolker) reported

    The worst thing about buying a domain from @hostgatorindia is that the mobile number given while registering the domain is instantly leaked! Today received atleast 6 #spam calls. What a shame @HostGator #noprivacywithhostgator

  • PDJohnsonGA Paul Johnson (@PDJohnsonGA) reported

    @CodeWithJanine Okay cool. So the problem lies with Hostgator somewhere

    @Stephi_ishtar @HostGator Been with HG for two years (refugee from awful GoDaddy). Had to contact support only once. Support handled my issue immediately.

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HGSupport My customers have to pay their utility bills at the beginning of the month, mostly elderly individuals and their services might get cut off. I can't get answers on the support line so I will try social media for assistance. Please help!

    Hi @HostGator while your technical support people are mostly quite helpful, I've run into 2 situations with your plans & billing that have been complete bait & switch with no reasonable resolution. Happy to share more with you directly.

    @HostGator I got a domain from HostGator and cpanel hosting . Turns out to be a Wordpress domain, uploading my code onto my cpanel has no effect . How do I fix that?

    Website down because stupid @HostGator doesn’t have an “admin” on call to fix access issues. In the email “queue” so ETA unknown. Thanks a bunch @HGSupport!

  • ShutterHireUK Shutter Hire (@ShutterHireUK) reported

    @HGSupport I'm trying to use your chat service and i can't get through. The migrating of my website from a previous host is a SHAMBLES. Most of my images are missing! I need to contact you ASAP!

  • ThinkUtilitySer Think Utility Services (@ThinkUtilitySer) reported

    @HostGator Lack of Accountability: Poor accountability is a condition that negatively impacts many organizations, and this condition grows worse each day. If the culture of your organization does not support the value of accountability, employees and do often “get away with murder.”

  • Stephi_ishtar Estephanie Cruz (@Stephi_ishtar) reported

    @HostGator SUCKS!!

  • Stephi_ishtar Estephanie Cruz (@Stephi_ishtar) reported

    Be careful, @HostGator sells windows servers that do not work. and they invent that they have a windows support when they don't.

  • theofficialira Ian Robert Anderson (@theofficialira) reported

    @skystracloud The problem has whenever I updated anything (wp, plugins, themes) I would get a 500 error and could not login to the admin area. HostGator solution = don't update anything ever! I'm moving hosting to @wpengine
