  • ksholloman Kevin Holloman (@ksholloman) reported

    @HGSupport Thanks. I have 63 websites, actually. Across 10 or so hosts. So, I feel fairly qualified to know if it’s hosting, or another factor causing the slow load times.

  • omkarnathnandi omkar nath nandi (@omkarnathnandi) reported

    @hostgatorindia I have stayed with you from 2012 but due to insensitive price increase with poor support and bad quality infrastructure i am now at the edge completely leaving hostgator. Will you suggest direct dedicated server/vps for a site with 2k monthly visitors? thats whats forced on me..

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @MzYummyDread Hello, We apologize for your poor support experience. It's HostGator's objective to provide our customers the best support experience. Please send us a DM letting us know what issues you are experiencing. Chellie

    @HGSupport Number of processes isnt that important. But it is translates to CPU and RAM utilization. "Unfortunately, this process can sometimes generate errors or other failures that result in connections to your server that use up your processes and generate large amounts of CPU usage"

  • MzYummyDread Excessively and Openly Black 🧁 (@MzYummyDread) reported

    @HostGator I'm experiencing the worse customer service with you all now. It's been this way for about a week.

  • BuzzIzarownd BuzzIzarownd (@BuzzIzarownd) reported

    Is there any email service that isn’t a cluster **** like @Outlook & @HostGator ?!?

  • michaelcbrown Mr. Brown (@michaelcbrown) reported

    @HostGator failed to auto-renew our SSL cert, sent us no notices about it (even though all our payment info sn current) and even though we've since been charged the money for the SSL, our website is effectively down for another 48-72 hours. What's the phone number for @GoDaddy?

  • rodatwood Rod Atwood (@rodatwood) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport - I have been a customer for almost 10 years. Our dedicated server is down now for over 8 hours for an OS reload with data retention. I have asked for an update and have not heard back. The ticket number is 33974002. Any help is really appreciated.

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @omkarnathnandi @jagograhakjago @HostGator Hi Omkar, we're looking into your issue and shall get back to you.

  • MichaelSosonkin Michael Sosonkin (@MichaelSosonkin) reported

    @HGSupport 35469258, 35462341 We sorta checking our emails too often. So they 'suspended' whole hosting account. Websites down (15 of them) and emails down (33). WELL DOWN!!!

    @HostGator Why doesn't your support chat ever work? It just keeps buffering and never loads.

  • darpangoyal17 Darpan Goyal (@darpangoyal17) reported

    @hostgatorindia HostGator got the worst service ever Since last 2 weeks my DEDICATED MANAGED SERVER is down and @hostgatorindia is not able to fix it. Not believe me? Call me, I'll show proofs 9888882551 DO NOT AVAIL THEIR SERVICE.

  • dober4am Dober (@dober4am) reported

    @HostGator website down?

  • ArewaParrot Zainab 💍 (@ArewaParrot) reported

    The biggest hosting scam is @HostGator . They suspend your domains and ask you to pay over $100 to restore what they brought down. After payment, then they also go ahead and change your domain nameservers and therefore you'll lose all your files with backup. They then ask you

  • ArewaParrot Zainab 💍 (@ArewaParrot) reported

    to pay again to restore your files. I have never seen any fraudulent hosting company compared to @HGSupport before. This is ridiculous. The support team disappears the moment you start asking questions. Over 5 domains have been suspended without any reason. I have over 23 domains

    @HostGator Your Indian Counterpart @hostgatorindia Have done a fraud of INR 68,000 with us. Can we expect any help from you, we are alerting all Indian bank, payment processors, ministry of consumer affairs @jagograhakjago If no help is received we will approach Court for this.

  • MichaelSosonkin Michael Sosonkin (@MichaelSosonkin) reported

    @HostGator 😡 Our shared biz account is down for 20 hours!

  • ArewaParrot Zainab 💍 (@ArewaParrot) reported

    @ShehuAwwal @HostGator I guess I have to follow your suggestion. The domains are all active. It's hurts me so much going through this. Gross extortion. I have over 26 domains with them. My favorite was @Namecheap and I have never had any issues with them

  • amankhanna22 aman khanna (@amankhanna22) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia i have been your customer for a while now. your retention team has no empathy, forget empathy, they are rude. time to say bye bye ? should i move to a new hosting plan? 9811612412 pls call

  • ShehuAwwal Shehu Awwal (@ShehuAwwal) reported

    @ArewaParrot @HostGator Has the domain expired? I dont see any reasons for them to take down your domain unless may be it has to do with hosting, Why not get a VPS with digitalocean And if you’re looking for a shared hosting, I would recommend ifastnet which I have been using for like 6years.

  • HaydenFHaskins RealScamLikely (@HaydenFHaskins) reported

    @HGSupport Been on chat with your support for hours, y'all aren't helping. You deleted my client's entire DNS records, and do not have them backed up. You guys do some bullshit like this once a year.

  • omkarnathnandi omkar nath nandi (@omkarnathnandi) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator Cheating indies money without any service will not be accepted. 1 day old payment must be refunded if customer is not satisfied. From usa you are Cheating Indians, will not let this happen.

  • omkarnathnandi omkar nath nandi (@omkarnathnandi) reported

    @hostgatorindia I am worried whether I will ever get the refund of Rs 68,000 from @HostGator, please refund @hostgatorindia and end this painful journey with your company. Yesterday I just could not believe your support staff is asking me how to upload MySQL files in PhpMyAdmin, it’s horrific.

  • CathyKWeb CathyK (@CathyKWeb) reported

    My reseller account had been with HostGator and their support was great. I just couldn’t justify renewing with them, even tho they just fixed any problem I had. There’s nobody to call for help now, only the internet & stress over 100s of details 🤯. #aws #lightsail #webhosting

  • omkarnathnandi omkar nath nandi (@omkarnathnandi) reported

    @PabloHussein3 @hostgatorindia They are trying to cheat nearly $1000 support me to save my money from hostgator, their servers and support staffs just don't know how to solve problems and if long term payment done, customers are doomed with no service. #hatehostgatorhosting
