    @HGSupport Your help chat said I had to upgrade to a VPS, so this hasn’t been communicated well at all. Will DM now

    @HostGator my site has been doing down repeatedly. Your reps sold me packages and I’m still having the same issues. Who is the owner of HostGator???? Is this how your company works???

    @HostGator Is there an outage right now? The host gator site is giving me errors… AND all my sites are down. Chat support is dead still at a 5-min wait and hasn’t changed.

    @HGSupport massive issue with a shared server a client of mine has with you. You’re using a version of OpenSSH from Feb 2013 on a production server. Github no longer support SHA-1 keys, so can’t check a project out via ssh. Why hasn’t OpenSSH been updated?

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator one of the worst hosting experiences! They make changes in server and then deny to fix them! Regret using @hostgatorindia #CustomerService #CustomerExperience

  • iamsouravj

    @hostgatorindia The worst hosting provider! No complaint resolution system! No resolution even after raising multiple complaints and no transparent escalation. Mechanism! #customersrrvice #CustomerExperience @HostGator @HGSupport

    Hostgator is one of the few company's that's marketing is so bad it makes me actively avoid everything to do with them. unsanitary looking small dog says "GRRRR" *classy business music* horribly designed pet training website in the ad, at that

    @learner_lab @dannyjeffers @HostGator There response Before we proceed, I just want to let you know that our team is already aware of sudden disconnection while our customer is chatting with us. This is already being worked on and resolved by our Admins, in any case we got disconnected,

    @drawingporno Thank You and I know. I have seen professional Photographers get axed with just butts. I feel like the Matrix where the octopus things come and hunt your down, and I'm not far off. I actually looked up hosting for adult content and Hostgator was in the top 5 if not 2nd.

    RedRock (@RedRockWesterly) reported

    @PureElementsCo1 @HGSupport yeah, i got on that chat applet/page, and it kept moving from 15 to 10 back to 15 minutes. @HGSupport won't admit, or worse, doesn't know there's a siteside issue occuring at the moment, it's very frustrating #HostgatorDown

    Worst hosting experience @hostgatorindia @HostGator tickets not resolved , agent untrained! Not sure how somebody can trust them for website! Shockingly poor #CustomerExperience @HGSupport

    Hostgator is the worst company on the face of the Earth. Had a great push day, though. Almost makes up for it.

  • malva618
    Marcelo Alva C. (@malva618) reported

    @HostGator @WooCommerce I have problems with my server since yesterday. Yesterday I contacted you and you told me that it would be solved soon. But more than 10 hours have passed and the problem continues. This is causing me economic problems. Are you going to make a discount on the service?

  • carloscarmonac
    Carlos Carmona (@carloscarmonac) reported

    @HGSupport I have 2 vps dropped more than 30 minutes ago. I opened a support ticket and no one responds. It is urgent. I have all my clients without service.

  • keeksssss
    Kelly Wright (@keeksssss) reported

    @HostGator The “escalated” support with this company is a joke - TEN days without a website and I can’t even get anyone to call me back. I will NEVER use Hostgator again.

  • PureElementsCo1
    Pure Elements Consultancy Ltd (@PureElementsCo1) reported

    @RedRockWesterly @HGSupport It’s doing the same for me. This is my 3rd time contacting them. I understand an outage but why is the Php warnings showing on the front end. On the backend, it’s saying no database repair and everything is fine when it’s not. They kept telling me that it’s down for maintenance.

    @HostGator @HGSupport Your service is becoming unreliable. Servers are down again. Support chat is not working. I called and heard it will be 4-8 hours without business email, website or FTP. Im ready to switch. Fix your ****.

  • blackkingkofi
    KOFI 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇬🇭 (@blackkingkofi) reported

    Hey twitter followers if you thinking about getting a website done do not use @HostGator for your hosting. They always have issues with hosting and they have the shittiest support ever!

    Jeff Rogerson (@jeff_rogerson) reported

    @ryandouglas0410 @HostGator @HGSupport Can you tell me how long you’ve been experiencing this deteriorated service. I only noticed this morning, but I haven’t been around my site since Thursday.

    @iamsouravj @hostgatorindia @HostGator We lost so many updates because something bad would happen over there and they'd install an older back up. They'd always say nothing happened but we had file date comparisons to prove it. Finally moved our site away. Ugh. I feel your pain.
