    I'm not a server guy. My understanding of servers is at a hobby level. So when I called @HostGator @HGSupport last night because ALL my websites went down they were very helpful. (I used to teach customer service for support teams so this is high praise) #webhosting

    @HGSupport On March 2nd, I asked your robot lady about uploading files. She is a lousy typist or a boldfaced liar. Fire her! After my experience with her, i called your help line. I will say that the woman, who helped me with my problem, was excellent! Give her a raise!

    @HGSupport On the 28th, I called your support line. The woman who answered knew nothing about websites. I asked some questions about uploading files, and she told me I should check my index.html. After ten minutes, I told her that she was no help and I politely ended the call.

    Every time I call Hostgator tech support, the hold Muzak lingers in my mind for hours afterwards.

    @HostGator Seriously, so beyond irritated. I'm told that I can't expect your products to work by your own tech support; that it's my problem to fix coding errors in your templates, give me a break. It must be industry standard to screw your customers.

    @mediatemple I should of left you guys a long time ago. I have my 12 other sites on Hostgator, & I was lazy with my main site. You fail at email hosting, changed MX records. Now I was told my ONLY site with u is down, why? You changed permissions without my knowledge. You suck.

    @HGSupport Please stop with the stupid ads, especially the one mocking a dog. All they make me want to do is never consider you

    @HostGator My website has been down for many days without the restore backup. You know, what does it mean? I lost many customers . I remember you company did the restore in minutes last year, why now the service goes such bad?

    @HGSupport Way to go, HostGator. I've chatted with your tech support twice now tand asked that a simple change be made to my DNS record. I was told twice that it was done, and twice it wasn't. I finally figured out how to do it myself. But why tell me it was done when it wasn't?

    @HGSupport Respectfully, you guys do this every single time. My DM‘s consists of back-and-forth with y’all about this website. What was the point of me paying the money if my website is consistently down.

    @HostGator @HGSupport @HGIndia it’s been over 5 days your support team has been keeping our company form been able to use emails. They say dedicated team handles win server & the support services are unable to check. Win team is so dedicated after 5 days still it’s not working

    @nick_eubanks Never touched them... they already had a bad reputation in 2005 My first was Hostgator

    Everything was a complaint in the old days Hostgator was saying I was taking up too much of their bandwidth and shut me down. There was a issue of me needing to pay a few thousand dollars a month just so I could run my site or I was being forced to leave. Lol

    @HostGator I'm beyond fed up with your crap products. I have had no luck with your tech support. I wonder how much money I have lost because your products don't function half the time...

    I have to say, @HostGator has really let me down. 2 500 internal errors and terrible tech support that leave you sitting there on live chat. I have been patient, polite, and forthcoming but they just can't seem to solve my issues. Because of this, I STILL don't have a website.

    @HGSupport can't believe you don't have ticket/email support? You only provide phone and chat support which is down.

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia I purchased web hosting on 28 Feb 2021 with invoice ID 8110709. My order is not processed yet. For this concern I called on your helping number but didn't get any help.

    While upgrading the server to PHP 7.3, @HostGator somehow disabled the mysqli module. After more than 48 hours and 8 interactions with the customer support the module is still disabled and my eshop is still down. Thank you @HostGator and @HGSupport #hosting #HostingInfo

    @hostgatorindia @Hari_Ravi_ Thanks for reply on my message, the increase price should be charged to new customer with new plans ... not on the plans being already sold... anyhow the plans we have purchased is for 3 year, Hostgator will have an opportunity to revise price on my plan after complete of 3 years
