    @HostGator please respond to my DM and fix your issue. Seriously, I though you guys were Pros?!

  • Kushalshah_nm Kushal Shah (@Kushalshah_nm) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator @HGSupport Case # 45558140 following up with your team on emails since 10 day, not a single acknowledgment or response. Website is hacked and down due to your server issue. Still no response

  • nogracenocase 4 Skee F💕💚 (@nogracenocase) reported

    Hey @HostGator does your customer service exist? Do you have reps that actually know what they’re doing?! This is ridiculous.

  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @HostGator Just spent 45 min on a chat with an idiot named Niveditha trying to get them to fix our SSL which HG has removed, and gave up. They had zero idea about HG's own systems. I've had enough now. I NEED to get away from this incompetent company. Used to be good once upon a time.

    @prakash384220 @hostgatorindia Agree. Their hosting goes down every day at least twice by default. Hostgator India is one of the worst hosting possible. I am chasing them for the last 2 months for this issue. No solution till now.

    @officialskgupta @HGSupport @hostgatorindia They are not going to resolve the issue for you. Their hosting goes down every day at least twice by default. Hostgator India is one of the worst hosting possible. I am chasing them for the last 2 months. No solution till now.

  • CryptoNFTMantra Crypto Mantra (@CryptoNFTMantra) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia ok, so I buy a domain and next day I start getting calls. It is a very generic domain name, one that no one even can care about. Who are you trying to fool here? Someone among your employee is selling customer data. Find him.

  • MetaphysicalPI MysticInvestigations (@MetaphysicalPI) reported

    The morons at @HostGator couldn't even keep us as a customer for 5 hours! LOL! Setting up a VPS account is seemingly a Herculean task for them among other issues! Back to looking for a new web hosting service! Maybe someday we'll get back to creating content! 🧐

  • Sleaklight Sleak (@Sleaklight) reported

    @HGSupport last night I tried getting in touch with support regarding websites with malware in my account yet after an hour wait, couldn't get a hold of anyone in live chat, where can we open a ticket? It's been a while since I've used support and can't find that option.

    @sumitgvyas @HostGator @hostgatorindia My website is down since morning and its been 4 hours now ... not not up at all

  • navijith Vijith Nair (@navijith) reported

    @HostGator Yeah because most of the time hostgator is down

  • prakash384220 PrAkAsH PaTeL (@prakash384220) reported

    @hostgatorindia HostGator hosting server is very bad. Every day done more than half hour website Server down. &Customer care have no any authority to say why down to known the server. Since 2 years i have been to used #hostgator for our website hosting. I think you have no need to your customer.

  • sumitgvyas Sumit Vyas (@sumitgvyas) reported

    @NANHEGUJRAL @HostGator Same here. The site goes down everyday. And they will give a generic response. Pathetic service.

  • SetraHosting SetraHost (@SetraHosting) reported

    @fmlukanga @VinodSharma10x @natmiletic Unfortunately, it's very common for Bluehost/HostGator websites to get malware and little to nothing is done to fix it on their end except charging you $300+ for a scan on SiteLock. I'd suggest using a hosting provider that is equipped with advanced security to prevent this.

    Hey @HostGator more than 24 hours and your team dont fix my ticket, this is unacceptable. 😩

    @HGSupport Hostgator chat is not working and I need help!

  • nogracenocase 4 Skee F💕💚 (@nogracenocase) reported

    Hey @HostGator I have been trying to have my primary domain changed for DAYS and your reps have been NO help. I need this issue escalated.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @Kushalshah_nm @hostgatorindia @HostGator I will reach out to escalated support on your behalf. I would not suggest posting the case number publicly though, for account security reasons.

  • sumitgvyas Sumit Vyas (@sumitgvyas) reported

    @Sameeh_Azam @HostGator @hostgatorindia is the worst possible hosting. All my sites go down at least twice a day without fail. and that too for more than 30 minutes.

  • chsweb jono (@chsweb) reported

    @elyktrix For small biz marketing sites Namecheap (inexpensive, flexible, don’t recommmend, it is a bit confusing due to poorly organized support content, but live chat is good) or HostGator (pretty great for cost). If things get big, would move to SiteGround, but overkill for most.

  • Sameeh_Azam A. Sami (@Sameeh_Azam) reported

    @HostGator Services are down again.

  • GoodSportVideo GoodSportVideo (@GoodSportVideo) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator WHY IS YOUR SUPPORT SO HORRIBLE?

  • ShoppersWing3 Vandita Tiwari (@ShoppersWing3) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport The site goes down randomly, the support says, its some internal error. BUt I loose business this way

  • NANHEGUJRAL Nanhe Gujral (@NANHEGUJRAL) reported

    One of the worst service till date from @HostGator Every second day our website is down... made a very bad decision..

  • MetaphysicalPI MysticInvestigations (@MetaphysicalPI) reported

    Is there a #hosting service that actually would like us to sign up & pay them money?! @HostGator couldn't even set up our account so we canceled. Now @ionos_com can even complete a Paypal transaction without an error for a dedicated server. The host search continues...

  • CryptoNFTMantra Crypto Mantra (@CryptoNFTMantra) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia I have bought numerous domains from GoDaddy and never received these stupid sales calls. Don't teach me about domain privacy. You are intentionally selling customer data to these companies, no one starts calling as soon as you buy a domain name.
