    @HostGator How is your customer service? Do you have phone support for when those one million FAQs and forum pages don't answer the question?

  • DrCorriel Dana Corriel, MD (@DrCorriel) reported

    Currently on phone w /customer service. It’s a full-on “Who’s on First” skit. @HostGator switched files in my cpanel last night, after a call to customer support. As a result, 2 websites went down. Today: we need to charge you $ for a website restore. Can’t make this up. 2/

  • JajjaNadia Nadia Jajja (@JajjaNadia) reported

    @somedocs @HostGator I see your tweets and it seems quite painful. Do you have a lot of traffic, can you not pull out of this service? If it’s not working, it’s not working. How is it affecting your work?

  • mightymur Mur, Magnificent Fury (@mightymur) reported

    When I've been ... not that smart... I will fully admit to customer service that I know I'm the problem here. So thank you @HostGator for your kind and excellent customer service!

  • mrliambi Mr Liambi (@mrliambi) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport After investigating I see you have a company called Hostgator India , in karnataka mangalore? (Where the intruding Ip is from) Would you please ask your support staff over there not to login without authorization? Thanks.

  • 0Teacherbot2 TeacherBot2.0 (@0Teacherbot2) reported

    @HGSupport That's good. I won't call now, but glad to know there is phone support. Actually I'm trying to pay for HostGator right now and it does not go through plus my captcha verification keeps running out while the progress bar goes on and on and on. Ideas?

  • omeleivincent Omelei M Vincent (@omeleivincent) reported

    @HostGator I cant access my account. I input my email and password to be brought back to sign in slot. Whats going on?

  • istacku Matt Mercurio (@istacku) reported

    @HostGator can someone please help me get a refund. I have contacted through email and have yet to get a response

  • AdvisorLaborLaw Labour Law Advisor 🇮🇳 (@AdvisorLaborLaw) reported

    Starting a new business? Take my advice never take hosting from @HostGator, even if they give it for free 😠

  • zerwekh Rob Zerwekh (@zerwekh) reported

    @HGSupport Is hosting service down right now? I am unable to access via cpanel, website or FileZilla.

  • kapilljain kapil jain (@kapilljain) reported

    All my websites are down and no response, worst service It is down for almost half an hour and and support says will be down till mid night today This is pathetic, how can you repay the losses? @HostGator @hostgator @hostgatorindia

  • Rich_2afa_Alasd قلب الاسد (@Rich_2afa_Alasd) reported

    @JoeYerdon I Said it before and I’ll say it again. WPEngine or Kinsta. The former has stellar customer service and servers in the US (unlike hostgator with their retrograde customer service and tech support your office India) Wpengine has a dedicated security engineering team

  • esli_nux Esli Silva 🐧 💻 🥋 🇧🇷 (@esli_nux) reported from Guarulhos, São Paulo

    @HostGator for not have wordpress/hosting problems: stay away of hostgator

  • franklyankish A n k i s h (@franklyankish) reported

    @HGSupport Improve your third-class class chat-support customer care the fool even does not know how to handle any issues. Let me know How can I renew my expired domain that expired today?

  • DedusmulnTXT dedusmuln (@DedusmulnTXT) reported

    @DickHelicopter extreme 00s energy everybody gangsta until your favourite mario fansite goes down and its either hostgator (and youre an eastern european who barely speaks english and has no idea whats going on) or tiddies

  • HostGator HostGator (@HostGator) reported

    @FranciscoFlora3 @FranciscoFlora3 OoO No! that's not good at all. Hostgator takes all credit card type; however, we normally see issues with pre-paid cards. Do you have PayPal? Send us a DM and we'll walk you through it. -Chelli

  • mohitsaxena707 Mohit Saxena (@mohitsaxena707) reported from Ghāziābād, Uttar Pradesh

    No support from Hostgator, highly unprofessionals employed by hostgator india. Case 33877657 pending for long and my servives down. @hostgatorindia @HostGator

  • coffeeAndNextJs sb (@coffeeAndNextJs) reported

    @HGSupport @shaunoconnor1 @HostGator oh crap I think it's my fault. I had changed my cpanel password over the weekend. That's the same p/w as what the mysql db's take right ?

  • magolnick Mike (@magolnick) reported

    Does anyone else have serious problems with @HostGator? Please DM me with better solutions for all of my hosting business.

  • somedocs Doctors On Social Media (@somedocs) reported from Tenafly, New Jersey

    @JajjaNadia @HostGator It is painful indeed. We are in the process of figuring our next steps. In the interim, we are pained to have to turn to social for help. But that seems to be the only way to restore some function. It’s tough running a digital business in 2021. We r back up and running!

  • franklyankish A n k i s h (@franklyankish) reported

    @HGSupport Need help as still could not find it.

  • DrCorriel Dana Corriel, MD (@DrCorriel) reported

    @HGSupport An “escalation” has already been performed. Doesn’t make any of this better. When a client’s business goes down, esp when they’ve spent years building it up, it can feel like an eternity to have to “wait” for a fix. Communicating via email to fix prob of this magnitude is not ok.

  • visualdestini Destini R (@visualdestini) reported

    @HostGator Is the site down? I can't log in.

  • johngutters Johngutters (@johngutters) reported

    Um crying like a lil *****!! After 2 years of late nights developing creating and publishing my websites someone hack my HostGator server and destroy all my work. I was cheap and didn't pay the millions of dollars they ask 😔 FML in the blink of and eye. **** HostGator

  • isoumyadipdutta Soumyadip Dutta (@isoumyadipdutta) reported

    be worst you know? Hostgator is one of the worst @hostgatorindia

  • amankhanna22 aman khanna (@amankhanna22) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia AFTER A 10 year connect with hostgator. with more than 20 websites hosted, i finally get hacked on my tourwala server. malware has infected my sites and no support has been offered is it time to switch ? pls call 9811612412

  • DrCorriel Dana Corriel, MD (@DrCorriel) reported

    The absurdity of the situation is this: I called @Hostgator for a totally DIFFERENT problem w/a website that was at least working - albeit needed some change. They created a totally NEW problem for my two other websites that now needs to be fixed. 3/

    Just to be sure, a member of the HostGator support staff, not our staff!
