    @HostGator @HGSupport extremely dissatisfied with your service. i've tried to sign up for your service TWICE, and both times have had my account immediately suspended. support was profoundly unhelpful and never resolved my issue.

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia 2 Days on. Website still down. Took all actions per #hostgator suggestions. Hostgator team is clueless. Only reactionary rather than proactive mode. You call them up, explain the situation. they take 20 minutes. Phone gets disconnected,

    @HostGator I’ve been trying to get ahold of your technical support department for the past few days and still haven’t been waiting the wait time is ridiculous.

    @HostGator is something wrong? I can’t load my website and it says there is an issue with the server. Really frustrating

  • DNAbeaniebaby
    sophia (@DNAbeaniebaby) reported

    @HGSupport absolutely not. this is the second time. your support staff is earnest and i'm sure they're trying their best, but they have been trained incompetently and have been unable to understand my problem at every turn. i am taking my money elsewhere.

    @LoveFarmOz @HostGator Hello Sophie, we're sorry to hear of the poor experience. Please send us a DM with your related ticket ID and domain we'd be more than happy to review the situation.

    @HGSupport I raised the 2fa request to the support team who would then sync my bankwire to the credits, hope they have conveyed to the engineering and finance team and tracking it fast to fix it :)

    What is your go to #wordpress hosting? I attempted to branch out from DO and try bluehost- I had high expectations for a dedicated service but I think even hostgator had it more together😱 #hosting

    .@HGSupport your cpanel has an issue where multiphp manager can change the version but it isn't reflected on the server under server info unless you log into WHM and change it there

  • optwtn
    OP (@optwtn) reported

    Got escalated to backend team. Had to wait for hours to get a log. That was y'day. Everything suggested was done. Now it's escalated to server team. I'm asked to wait for 4-6 hours. Meanwhile sites are down. I better shut shop and go to sleep. #hostgator #india @hostgatorindia

  • DNAbeaniebaby
    sophia (@DNAbeaniebaby) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport i'm at least happy my purchase was immediately refunded, but your service has made setting up my professional website absolutely impossible.

    hostgator is extremely slow, if it’s not loading, just reload the page 😭

  • Rpsran
    RavinderPal Singh Sran (@Rpsran) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator So, its 24 hours since I complaint about my server going down. And now its about 2 hour passed since I reached you in Tweeter. Nothing has been done so far. The moment my server is up, I will migrate to some other hosting. You have offshore staff who is not competent.

  • optwtn
    OP (@optwtn) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia The attitude to such a critical #infrastructure service seems callous. My service is affected. I've got at least 4 site up & down reports from installed wordpress plugins all thru the day. Strange thing is the #hostgator team seems oblivious to this & no checks at their end?!

    @HGSupport My dedicated Windows server has been down for almost 5 hours. I have used chat support and also phone support and can't seem to get anyone to look at it. How can I get someone to look at my server?

    @HostGator my server is down from past 24 hours. All i asked your support was to restart the server. Worst customer support ever. @HGSupport

    @Gabriels_Daddy_ I have written to Hostgator that my debit cards (10 times) are getting blocked but today the escalated team (Madhura) replied "you are having problems with credit card" How do these people get jobs in USA ?

  • Rpsran
    RavinderPal Singh Sran (@Rpsran) reported

    @HostGator Don't buy anything from them. There support is lazy and they will not help you if the website goes down. 24 hours and they have been doing nothing and my entire server is down.

  • optwtn
    OP (@optwtn) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia Have already done that. Once the site was down (a client complained), spoke to tele support. They said some issue with server (I had to hold for 25 mins!) & sorted things out. After 15 mins, site was down again. So called again!

    Pinup America (Magazine) (@Pinup_America) reported

    @HostGator this company's a joke. They've admitted fault by stuffing up my domain address for the site I was building. It's been down over 2 weeks. I'm seeking compensation. 6 unanswered emails requesting legal address not provided for papers to be served. List your problem below
