  @HostGator Pls, I can't see you solving this problem, it happened 3weeks ago, and you asked us to pay thousands of dollars and we paid. Now you are engaging us with tete talks that will certainly go no where, delay tactics so the money will expire without serving it's purpose

  @wordpressdotcom So you are saying that it is @HostGator issue? It's your site that is slow loading? It's atrocious. I have another site I have on wordpress hosted by another company and wordpress is still SLOW, terrible. But hey that's customer service these days

  @HostGator Apparently it was a server issue but HG support was able to help and resolved it within minutes. Thank you, we are going on 5 years with HG 🐊🙌🏻

  Hey @grok do you know why HostGator now closes its offices rather than give 24-hour support, unlike they sed to ?

  @HostGator @ValeriaGadioli @HostGatorBrasil We have been using a VPS server and reseller hosting for the past 15 years, and recently one of our clients' domains was infected with malware. Instead of suspending that particular domain, they shut down the whole server. For the past 7 days, more than 50 sites are held hostage

  Absolutely unacceptable @HGSupport @HostGator doesn't even let the customers know when there are server issues.

  @HGSupport Hello @HostGator @HGSupport I’m reaching out on behalf of my brother. His educational platform serving over 3000 schools in Nigeria has been down for over 2 weeks under case E-527097. We keep receiving only automated responses. Please we urgently need escalation to a senior engin

  @HostGator @WamanyaPious Not when you make changes that totally disrupt 20 years of workflow & you don't warn or give your customers a choice or a say in the matter. You've forever lost my biz cuz you just don't do that if you like your customers. So NO this is the shittiest deal I've ever gotten from an IT provider. Even gmail gives their customers & choice & plenty of warning. You screwed up & hope it costs you dearly because this is NOT something you do to a customer base without repercussions & pissed off customers. You're response here just made it worse - showing that you don't give a ****. Basically I read it this way. "Tough if you don't like it - bugger off - you don't have control over what the interface will do & what it will look like - so go elsewhere because we decide what our customers get & we don't let pissed off customers have a say!

  At 21 I started a web hosting company for under $500. - rented a server from HostGator - studied their "get your first 1,000 customers" ebook like scripture - pitched people in forums Shocker: nobody wanted web hosting from a college kid. So I changed the offer. I started selling websites instead. New website owners have the problem of "Where do I host this?" I would bundle the hosting as part of the website build in exchange for putting their credit card on file for next year. I didn't realize it at the time, but this is when I learned about the 'Front Doors' and 'Back Doors'. It's easy to fool yourself when researching a business or competitor when all you can see if their 'Front Door'. The offer on your competitor's website may look too good to be true and you may wonder how can they possibly do that? They have a 'Back Door' offer that must offset it and then some. You usually can't see it from the outside.

  @francojosephsd @HGSupport My server has been down for 8 days now and still no fix yet

  @HGSupport Or if you can recreate the current server with the latest OS and CPANEL and restore the service, I will renew the server. We have been in business with you for over ten years, paying heavily and you can't give us our data After your system collapse??

  @HostGator @HGSupport Today makes six days without access to my server and three revenue generating sites. No new sales, no access to email will lead to customer (revenue) loss. Zero updates and appears no progress being made. The class-action law firms are circling. Complete incompetence on display.

  I asked support to escalate it after an hour and a half where they attempted to fix it but couldn’t, and took over an hour to reset the server after which it promptly crashed again. @hostgator

  Hey @HostGator — your support portal sends users to a knowledge base with no way to open a ticket or access live chat. This is unacceptable. I need a PTR record configured Gmail silently rejects all outgoing emails from our domain. This is a basic mail server configuration
