  • SharpguyRich Rich (@SharpguyRich) reported

    @HostGator I dont like the Block Editor, too difficult for simple changes, go back to the old way, or find another way. Since MS Frontpage 97, web design has became more difficult, why? Give me WYSIWYG, not block editor, you cant even change font type in block, its in the theme??? it sucks.

  • JulieKubiak Julie Kubiak (@JulieKubiak) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @SiteLock totally let down by you all. Website has been down 7 days and noone has the decency to contact me. Promised a call from SiteLock 13 hours ago, still no call. This needs to be sorted today, no excuses 😡😡😡 #badservice #businessowner #fridaymorning

  • Insure_Ed Edward Quisenberry (@Insure_Ed) reported

    @HostGator How come I can't get ahold of support? Telephone calls don't go through, and I can't "login" to live chat. Is Host Gator still in business?

  • ZennieAAbraham Zennie Abraham CEO Zennie62Media.com / Zennie62 (@ZennieAAbraham) reported

    After great support @hgsupport has fallen off the wagon. I have tickets not responded to, call center workers who tell fibs about service, saying "They're working on it now", and one guy who just wanted to argue with me. HostGator does not seem to value me as a customer. .

  • Ultimateguidet1 Ultimate_guide_to_everything (@Ultimateguidet1) reported

    And yet again @HostGator screw up my blog... It's getting rediculous!!! Every month the same story.. does anyone else is having so much issues with them ??? Somebody help !!!!

  • UdunMonster Galactic-Despot-Elect Morris (@UdunMonster) reported

    @HGSupport chat support windows don't load and the wait time on hold is >30 min continually. No good, man.

    @hostgatorindia Buy the hostgator services only if you want some action in your life. If you want to remain busy getting complaints from your customers and want to spend few hours daily with hostgator support, buy any package. If you want to live a peaceful life, stay away.

  • Insure_Ed Edward Quisenberry (@Insure_Ed) reported

    @HGSupport What's going on at Host Gator? Can't log into live chat. Can't speak to support on the toll free telephone number. Are you still in business?

  • snookyollie BeanMachine (@snookyollie) reported

    @HostGator @GoDaddy Always used go daddy and had great customer service but I had heard great things about hostgator. Don't make the switch guys, awful experience. Customer service is always worth a premium! 350$ Business package and left with a broken site and 0 service. NGMI!

  • dnprotect dnprotect (@dnprotect) reported

    @jatin2180 @HGSupport Not sure what you mean by 'partial access'. You either have control over & own it or not? If you own it, you can transfer to any other registrar. There are times when errors occur, and you're allowed to pay for a domain that's not actually available. If so, they issue a refund.

  • ZennieAAbraham Zennie Abraham CEO Zennie62Media.com / Zennie62 (@ZennieAAbraham) reported

    And I still have the problem I contacted them about, even though I made some progress in working on it, on my own. Not cool HostGator. You've upset an ally. Me.

  • LockSafe LockSafe (@LockSafe) reported

  • RickGualtieri Rick Gualtieri (@RickGualtieri) reported

    Was just informed by Hostgator that their Wordpress hosting solutions do not support the webp file format, despite Wordpress itself supporting it for a few versions now. Seems a wee bit dumb to me.

  • Bojay_B Bojay B (@Bojay_B) reported

    My ******* hostgator package won't cancel on my phone and I won't be home until after it tries to bill me so its just gonna get mad at me because I have no ******* money

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @JC_Wrighter @HostGator We don't want your site to be listed as 'Dangerous'. Send me a DM with some account info and I'd like to help. -Val
