    Be careful, @HostGator sells windows servers that do not work. and they invent that they have a windows support when they don't.

  • juwoncaleb ENGINEER OMOJUWON (@juwoncaleb) reported

    @HostGator I got a domain from HostGator and cpanel hosting . Turns out to be a Wordpress domain, uploading my code onto my cpanel has no effect . How do I fix that?

  • adviceduniya Gopal Singh (@adviceduniya) reported

    @iSaurabhGoud @HostGator @hostgatorindia My experience with Hostgator was also not good. They themselves do the problem first. And later, to correct the haib, these people ask for money for that work. That's why I stopped using this hosting.

  • iamsalimkhan Salim Khan (@iamsalimkhan) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia On your website it says your support is available 24/7, when I dialled the IVR says no one is available.?? WTH

    @OwnNothingBFree I’ve been using Hostgator forever. Wondering if there was something better. My blog disappeared and it’s a pain to get someone in support.

  • the_tycoonist Mike (@the_tycoonist) reported

    Website down because stupid @HostGator doesn’t have an “admin” on call to fix access issues. In the email “queue” so ETA unknown. Thanks a bunch @HGSupport!

  • long Jonathan Long (@long) reported from Miami, Florida

    @HostGator get more incompetent support reps. You can’t. What a complete and utter **** show. Been months. Nothing but bs.

  • gotoandrock Mac (@gotoandrock) reported

    @HostGator yeah screw off for redirecting my signup for hosting signup to dream which doesn’t work at all. I have no way to test php @DreamHost your web ssh login sucks.

  • glenp Mr P (@glenp) reported

    @HostGator I'm done. Wasted way to much time as it is. If I don't receive an email from support I'll be looking for alternative options.

    @HGSupport It doesn’t help to DM when I get the same answer I get from customer support that you are going to email me... and then don’t.

  • garionjob Gary Teh (@garionjob) reported

    @paddolker @hostgatorindia @HostGator That is bad...

  • paddolker Satheesh Paddolker (@paddolker) reported

    The worst thing about buying a domain from @hostgatorindia is that the mobile number given while registering the domain is instantly leaked! Today received atleast 6 #spam calls. What a shame @HostGator #noprivacywithhostgator

  • paul30316 paulrobinson 🧭🏳️‍🌈♉🧵 (@paul30316) reported

    Hi @HostGator while your technical support people are mostly quite helpful, I've run into 2 situations with your plans & billing that have been complete bait & switch with no reasonable resolution. Happy to share more with you directly.

  • GE_Miller GE_Miller (@GE_Miller) reported

    @HGSupport I've had an outstanding ticket for a refund credit for 2 months and its crickets. How can I get some help?

  • mrdaps Mr. DAPs (@mrdaps) reported

    I’m having trouble getting a reply on my escalated ticket from @HostGator so my site is still down. Can someone help me ASAP before I lose any more traffic? This is ridiculously frustrating.

  • theofficialira Ian Robert Anderson (@theofficialira) reported

    @skystracloud The problem has whenever I updated anything (wp, plugins, themes) I would get a 500 error and could not login to the admin area. HostGator solution = don't update anything ever! I'm moving hosting to @wpengine
