Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @HGSupport @HostGator I am on chat with Vinayak, who insists on being difficult in helping me wiht my Wordpress problem. Please make him act in accordance with good standards. He does not know Wordpress. I need someone who does. Thanks.

Artfool Politics (@artfoolpolitics) reported@HostGator @Trrance How about stop telling us how frustrating it is and actually do your freaking job and FIX IT????
-
Hephzibah Magazine TV (@Gabbybooks82) reported@HGSupport What else do you need.D server has been down for 3 weeks. When it happened we immediately contacted you, and you recommended, we purchase a new dedicated server for migration, which we did but you never could fix the old server to migrate us to D new. *I-25506113 is the ref ID*
-
Alex | Vibe Coder (@AlexVibeCode) reported@ChristianNFocus @HostGator That’s the worst kind of billing hit — not just expensive, but disconnected from actual usage.
-
Eduardo Morales (@chikipollo08) reported@HostGator I submitted a support ticket regarding my hosting; my emails are not reaching their destination. I've had the ticket open for 3 days and no one has followed up on it.
-
Vrajesh Parekh (@yourwebcoders) reported@HGSupport @HostGator But without their first enabling it is not possible, so I have finally come here (Case ID: ABU-175403, ABU-175616, ABUF-21277). If it is still not solved, then I will have to go to the consumer forum and will also take the help of the payment processors.

Dayna | Startups & Growth | #AI (@dayna12121) reported@voytekbereza @HostGator Support quality matters just as much as uptime and pricing. Hoping this gets addressed quickly. Would appreciate an update from the team soon.
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@francojosephsd @HGSupport @HostGator Same, and they seem to think that the issue has been fully resolved. No communication to the customers, or among themselves.
-
SetraHost (@SetraHost) reportedThinking about leaving Bluehost, HostGator, or SiteGround? We make it easy with free same day migrations, zero downtime and real human support. No risk - just faster, more reliable hosting at lower prices. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and we're here to help!

Dustin (@DPRea) reportedAt 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.

Chris (@ccpharrell) reportedI don't post often, but wanted to reiterate how terrible @HostGator is....down yet again with a 24 - 48 hour ETR....great stuff...
-
Faizan Shaikh (@FaizanS1996) reported@DanMicovic @HGSupport @HostGator That’s rough, 2 weeks with no access is unacceptable, especially for email and client sites. You may want to start looking at alternatives like Fresh Roasted Hosting. Their support is much more responsive, and the uptime has been solid in my experience.
-
Josh Humble (@joshhumble) reportedLooks like @HostGator, @HGSupport's website installer is down (both attempting Wordpress install and blank site)? Freezing up on my account, can't proceed. Browser refreshes and multiple attempts don't work. Ugh - technology.
-
Rick Kapur (@rickkapur) reported@HGSupport trying to get second level escalation for critical email issues for 3 days. Two chats and 2 phone calls, and 5-6 hours invested but no line of sight to resolution or 2nd level support. Very disappointing
-
Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported@HostGator @HGSupport we are now nearing 72 hours without access to our three sites. Zero e-mails updating the situation, daily support chats (whose transcripts are emailed), multiple PM with you on this platform...and nothing. It is time for HG to begin providing real answers beyond cut-and-paste ones.

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reported@HGSupport @NewfoldDigital I have emails from HostGator going back to 2010. I can show you many times HostGator Admins have done yeoman work in coding. I learned a lot from them. That should be your model, not this frankly lazy approach that HG has adopted. Make some coin and help your customers.
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHi @HostGator I am still in the chat and now for 23 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.
-
Oakland Movies - Oakland News - Zennie Abraham (@OaklandMovies) reported@HGSupport Hey HostGator, fix my server. Where is @NewfoldDigital in all of this?
-
Kishor K Sukumar (@kishorksukumar) reported@HGSupport Yesterday your team gave hopeful mail like started transferring data new updated server, now it is back to square one they stopped it with some technical excuse and no estimate time for resolution to fix my issue and Also it is 1 week now since my service stopped
-
Joseph Franco (@francojosephsd) reported@HGSupport @DanMicovic @HostGator There is no service in my VPS since monda. One whole work week lost.
-
Kudehinbu Oluwaponle (@koluwaponle) reported@HostGator @HGSupport Your support lied to sell me your Nvme vps, (I have chat evidence) which could not support my legacy apps after I made payments totaling $883. I've been trying to receive refunds since Feb 10 without success. Your support has been horrible and of little use
-
Shailesh Patel (@Shaileshhp46) reported@BigRock after Hostgator migrated to Bigrock, pathetic service. Support numbers never works. No service support. Many glitches. Should not take responsibility which you can not deliver
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@ronimartinezz @HostGator From the screenshot, it looks like you are having trouble logging in to your account to cancel. If that's the case, send us a DM so we can get you verified and assist.
-
Any Dummy (@RepAmWatch) reported@HostGator It’s not that one size doesn’t fit all. It’s that live chat was terrible. No reply for 6-8 minutes at a time. I wasn’t asked to stand by while they researched. They repeatedly suggested an illogical solution. And your AI bot is not ready for prime time. Gives bad advice!!!
-
Geetha Prabhu (Workflexi) (@geetu11) reported@BigRock @hostgatorindia Can someone call me on my registered mobile no. pls? Every week our emails are down and your team takes one whole day to rectify the problem. When it was hostgator, we never faced this issue. What is that you guys are doing differently that we have to suffer every week!!??
-
Lissa (@itsjustmetwo) reported@HGSupport Why is it impossible to get anything escalated to people who can actually help?
-
Joan Reynolds (@JoanTReynolds) reported@HostGator I cannot login to my hostgator account. Support is now useless.

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @HGSupport @HostGator I am waiting for someone to respond to my presents in the help cue in my server. 10 minutes and counting.
