  • beli0135 Voxin 🇧🇷🇷🇸♏ (@beli0135) reported

    @PovilasKorop App does not start, gives 404. It should only load default welcome (didn't altered it yet). At 1st I thought it was .htaccess, but it is not. In local XAMPP works OK. I wonder was the google's recaptcha on login screen that makes problems (**** server is at Hostgator).

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HGSupport I'm just bitter because I haven't pulled my sites from HG yet. Angry at my laziness. So, you, personally, I don't have any problems with, its the Walmart grade hosting company you work for. Hoping the sites can last until the next billing cycle, so I can find a better hoster.

  • NosnasMarketing Nosnas Marketing (@NosnasMarketing) reported

    @HGSupport @Beruud Support is not that tech savvy.

  • MissMaryMcInOR Mary Mc (@MissMaryMcInOR) reported

    @HostGator Your chat support doesn't work at all. My site has been down for days now. I called your tech support a few days ago, they couldn't fix it and I was promised an email update. Haven't heard a thing. I rely on my site for my income. HELP!!! (a deep breath won't!)

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport OK, I am guessing you are having serious issues. My one site just threw out a 500 error and the other one took 3 minutes to load. I am on Chat; it says talk in 5, but its been 7 minutes and nothing has changed, including the timer. #notsurprised

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA, INC. (@Zen62com) reported

    @HGSupport I ask for update on 40046745, I get no answer. HG rep says "Tell me the issue?" The issue is game-playing - I want a status update on case 40046745!

  • sebremm SEB (@sebremm) reported

    @rexthetvterrier @HostGator So sorry you’ve experienced such horrible service from them. 😢

  • Salonekid Chrispin Griffiths (@Salonekid) reported

    @HostGator, please, can I have an update on this ticket reference 4018913? Your support is absolutely terrible. I'm considering moving on to another provider.

  • chenebuah chenebuah david (@chenebuah) reported

    @wordpressdotcom I tried using login into the WordPress account I just open from the hostgator process and in the part for the admin. I'm think I didn't insert the right email because I have gotten an email from you guys yet and when I type my username and password I get an error

  • Andrew51750081 Andrew (@Andrew51750081) reported

    @HGSupport who owns hostgator the service cost so much instead of quality he chose to give cheap labour and ruin the whole company customer service sucks defiantly need an alternative any recommendations?

  • NosnasMarketing Nosnas Marketing (@NosnasMarketing) reported

    @HGSupport @OhRheally This was not mentioned to me or other users when we reported it. Other user had 13 sites down.

  • MTinydancer Mittens&TinyDancer (@MTinydancer) reported

    @rexthetvterrier @HostGator Had similar very lengthy so-called customer svc experiences via phone which were less than favorable (to put in mildly 😱); but once we "bit*hed" vociferously on @Twitter we got brisk resolution.

  • Ashwanichy1996 Ashwani (@Ashwanichy1996) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia My case I'd is - 40207581 This is regarding cpu load. All your support executive and backed team trying to convince me to purchase managed hosting then only they will help, they even don't try to understand my problem. It's already been 2-3 days.

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    I am furious. @HostGator @HGSupport 2-3 times a year I have huge issues with them, and now, they want me to UPGRADE my account, because why? So I can pay MORE money for ****** service? The ***** on them to try and upsell me after this crap! WOWOW.

  • wordpressdotcom WordPress.com (@wordpressdotcom) reported

    @chenebuah Got it. Are you able to contact @HostGator for help? They can likely tell why the email didn't arrive, and may be able to help with the @WordPress error, too.

  • IconIsland Banks ETH (@IconIsland) reported

    Why does @HostGator have the worst customer & technical support on the planet... like OMG. 😤 ya'll really love wasting people's time.

  • cbwebster Dog lovin’ Oma (@cbwebster) reported
