  • adviceduniya Gopal Singh (@adviceduniya) reported

    @iSaurabhGoud @HostGator @hostgatorindia My experience with Hostgator was also not good. They themselves do the problem first. And later, to correct the haib, these people ask for money for that work. That's why I stopped using this hosting.

  • Stephi_ishtar Estephanie Cruz (@Stephi_ishtar) reported

    @HostGator SUCKS!!

  • YoungbloodJoe Joe Youngblood (@YoungbloodJoe) reported

    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.

  • 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

  • paul30316 paulrobinson 🧭🏳️‍🌈♉🧵 (@paul30316) reported

    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.

    @paddolker @hostgatorindia @HostGator That is bad...

  • juwoncaleb ENGINEER OMOJUWON (@juwoncaleb) reported

    @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?

  • Tylewah Tylewah (@Tylewah) reported

    It may be a stretch but does anyone know how to install Wordpress onto Hostgator? I've got no idea what any of that is but my mom is trying to set it all up and I just want to help

  • mrdaps Mr. DAPs (@mrdaps) reported

    @HGSupport It doesn’t help to DM when I get the same answer I get from customer support that you are going to email me... and then don’t.

  • Lubxpress_ayds Lubxpress (@Lubxpress_ayds) reported

    @HGSupport I have been hosting with hostgator from past 10 years. i have never seen such delays from tech support in past.

  • henrypujols Henry Pujols 🗯 (@henrypujols) reported

    @HGSupport I hace 4 days send a private emails and nobody solved the problem!!!

  • NearChaos Mike Jeffries (@NearChaos) reported

    I'm really regretting moving my site to @HostGator at this point. It's been multiple weeks of problems just to move two very simple wordpress sites.

  • CElston Christopher Elston (@CElston) reported

    @OwnNothingBFree I’ve been using Hostgator forever. Wondering if there was something better. My blog disappeared and it’s a pain to get someone in support.

  • MikeDancy Mikes Tech Rescue (@MikeDancy) reported

    Anyone else having issues accessing the customer login portal of @HostGator ?

  • the_tycoonist Mike (@the_tycoonist) reported

    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!

  • mrdaps Mr. DAPs (@mrdaps) reported

    I’m having trouble getting a reply on my escalated ticket from @HostGator so my site is still down. Can someone help me ASAP before I lose any more traffic? This is ridiculously frustrating.

  • glenp Mr P (@glenp) reported

    @HostGator I'm done. Wasted way to much time as it is. If I don't receive an email from support I'll be looking for alternative options.

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @iSaurabhGoud @HostGator Hi Saurabh, we believe our Support team reached out to you regarding this issue. They are currently looking into it on priority and shall send you an update soon via Case ID: 30946735.

  • gotoandrock Mac (@gotoandrock) reported

    @HostGator yeah screw off for redirecting my signup for hosting signup to dream which doesn’t work at all. I have no way to test php @DreamHost your web ssh login sucks.

  • GE_Miller GE_Miller (@GE_Miller) reported

    @HGSupport I've had an outstanding ticket for a refund credit for 2 months and its crickets. How can I get some help?

  • 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.

  • _K7KE_ K7KE (@_K7KE_) reported

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

  • iamsalimkhan Salim Khan (@iamsalimkhan) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia On your website it says your support is available 24/7, when I dialled the IVR says no one is available.?? WTH

  • Memer_Ultra_pro Memer Type Hu (@Memer_Ultra_pro) reported

    @iSaurabhGoud @HostGator @hostgatorindia Worst Experience... They used to corrupt file

  • the_tycoonist Mike (@the_tycoonist) reported

    Website down because stupid @HostGator doesn’t have an “admin” on call to fix an access issue. ETA for fix also unknown...thanks a lot guys!

  • 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

  • glenp Mr P (@glenp) reported

    @HostGator it's getting close to 72 hours and still no return customer support email and my website is dark. Sounds like the nice CSR techs were blowing smoke up my butt right about now?????
