    @YandrakirtashCR @HostGator @YandrakirtashCR It sounds like maybe your browser or network is having issues as our chat is currently functioning and working for others. You may want to try clearing your cache or using a different device to connect.

  • Dufflebag_Bo The Man The Myth The Legend 🇳🇬 (@Dufflebag_Bo) reported

    @HGSupport My websites consistently go off or do not load with your servers!! I’ve called multiple times and will be put on hold for up to a hour speaking to someone for 1 minute then told to they will get a specialist on the line which they never do! Someone needs to help

  • 365Pathway Pathway 365 (@365Pathway) reported

    @CryptoPech @HostGator We're having the same issue. Have they resolved your problems ?

  • LGBImpeachBiden LetsGoBrandon (@LGBImpeachBiden) reported

    @HostGator you're tech support sucks, you all should have never singed a contract with newfold, their agents are as dumb as rocks that cant do anything beyond reset a password and try to upsell. Go back to inhouse techs taking chats and calls!

  • AbduljalilSaleh Abduljalil AlMudhari عبدالجليل المضري (@AbduljalilSaleh) reported

    @HGSupport Still I have problem since one week, and not fixed until now, finally i understand that HostGator support team are not professional and the company is failure. this is some tickets which is still opened Ticket: 2167694 , 2167913 @HostGator @GreenHostgator

  • YandrakirtashCR Yandrakirtash (@YandrakirtashCR) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I chated with support, they could not resolve my problem so I was told that an admin will email me, no one did, this was almost 2 weeks ago...

  • eosunknown Stan Bezusov (@eosunknown) reported

    @HostGator I have DMd the support account.

  • BalconyMR Jim Sullivan (@BalconyMR) reported

    Was left on hold with @HostGator support for more than an hour. Seems to be a thing. They can't figure something out and the tech ghosts you.

  • gabygalaxyxx Gaby Galaxy (@gabygalaxyxx) reported

    @datemialaurent I used hostgator and WordPress but I didn't like hostgator support at all. They're adult friendly though and cheap for the first few years if you pay up front that wasn't for a work website though it was for a blog

  • BrandBillboard BrandBillboard (@BrandBillboard) reported

    @HGSupport, Your business hosting plan support is a royal mess and an exercise in frustration. I will no longer recommend it to anyone and regret doing so for my clients. And your chatbot is ridiculous - repeats the same drivel over and over.

  • BalconyMR Jim Sullivan (@BalconyMR) reported

    @HGSupport It's happened several times. I think it's what some of your guys do. I hired an IT consultant to help. He said this: "FYI, @HGSupport is not as good as they used to be. I've had 3 long conversations...but they still can't solve anything."

    So I press HostGator Live Chat, and get no one. @HostGator @HGSupport I need help. One of your admins screwed up my system.

  • lorenphotos Loren Fisher (@lorenphotos) reported

    Stay away from HostGator, the worst website hosting company

  • YandrakirtashCR Yandrakirtash (@YandrakirtashCR) reported

    I had to open multiple support tickets and I was told the admins will contact me, no one did. Now im trying to open a live chat with support and it just reloads the page? Are you kidding me? @HGSupport @HostGator

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA INC #CES2023 (@Zen62com) reported

    Ok @HGSupport I tell your helper I installed a rate limit and how to get around it and he runs from the chat. HostGator is really acting bad.

  • whatbitchinbout whatyoubitchingabout.com (@whatbitchinbout) reported

    @HostGator You want my websites.. @hostinger does not.. They currently have them.. Yet I can not get any support as to an email issue.. @bluehost does not They will not answer the phone..

  • BuzzTravelBlog Buzzin’ Around the World (@BuzzTravelBlog) reported

    Thanks @HostGator for fixing my server issues and speeding up my website. Your chat agents spent hours helping me. My website went from a GT Metrix F ranking to an A ranking. Glad I use #hostgator. @HGSupport

  • charafmrah Charaf Mrah (@charafmrah) reported

    @terroirartisans Hostinger used to be terrible but seems like they got better in the last 2 years from ppl recommending them. Hostgator is mid at best but at least they have good support compared to other big providers.
