-
I REFUSE (@seanrogers8) reported@HGSupport @HostGator @spamhaus Your tech support sucks. They have been working on it for 2 days. My company email still doesn't work!! If your employees were competent your service would work
-
o-mega.ai (@o_mega___) reportedCatwatchful’s breach exposed thousands of victim and customer records in July 2025, with attackers leaking photos, locations, and messages. Operators bypassed the first shutdown by migrating APIs to HostGator—demonstrating how stalkerware survives by shifting infrastructure faster than hosts can react. Google only started flagging the app with Play Protect after TechCrunch’s publication, and the spyware’s operators relaunched service within days. This cycle shows tech platforms can barely keep up when stalkerware pivots, and just about every stalkerware provider eventually leaks all their data.

SFL Commissioner (@sflone) reported@HGSupport Has HostGator changed its password requirements? I've had problems logging in suddenly but error messages do not state any change to the policy despite an AI search suggesting something may have been done by March 2025.

Mehmet (@mettersoy) reportedHostGator support eventually confirmed it: “All outbound connections are blocked.” Yes. The server could not make outbound HTTPS requests (port 443). If you’re a dev, you already know: That breaks EVERYTHING.

Artfool Politics (@artfoolpolitics) reported@HostGator @Trrance How about stop telling us how frustrating it is and actually do your freaking job and FIX IT????
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@academicoweb @HostGator We hear you that you are having trouble with the auth code and have concerns about the price and specs of your hosting plan. Repeatedly mentioning us in posts and replies keeps us going through notifications instead of being able to help you. Hence, "spam." Our DMs are open.

Jordan Blum🤘 (@JordanBlum87) reportedCan any tech people help? We use Outlook for The Bookends Review and once a week, it'll stop sending and receiving mail because "503 Valid RCPT command must precede DATA." Then, I'll delete the emails we have in the HostGator CP and it'll work again. Any ideas how to fix?
