  • Tha5SOSFamily 5SOS UPDATES! (@Tha5SOSFamily) reported

    You guys all know that @thehoneypop is a fan run initiative right? And that we don't make money? Did you know that @HostGator took all of our money then took our site down and won't issue a refund for FIVE DAYS and we don't have enough to go anywhere else now? +

  • hassanqasim1 hassan qasim (@hassanqasim1) reported

    @HostGator Your Servers are not working properly, too much slow today what happened?

  • lalala_lietome guada 卌 ✜ (@lalala_lietome) reported

    @Tha5SOSFamily @thehoneypop @HostGator Damn that’s terrible! I’m sorry this is happening to you guys :c I really like the honey pop content

  • lietome_luke lie to me (@lietome_luke) reported

    @Tha5SOSFamily @thehoneypop @HostGator Wtf... I'm so sorry, this is so ****** up...

  • pedrochavezdig Pedro Chavez (@pedrochavezdig) reported

    @HostGator customer service and support is everything but helpful. We have always recommended using the services of @HostGator to our clients; unfortunately, after this, we must retract. Please STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

  • hassanqasim1 hassan qasim (@hassanqasim1) reported

    @HostGator what's going on, None of your Servers is working properly Too Dead Slow, Even your Own Site is not working im trying to contact Helpline from last 2 hours...

  • Tha5SOSFamily 5SOS UPDATES! (@Tha5SOSFamily) reported

    And did you know that they took the money OUT of our account immediately but are claiming that they can't refund us for a full week after already having us down since Sunday? @HostGator do you make a habit of ripping off kids and young adults?

  • msgabrielleann Gabrielle (@msgabrielleann) reported

    I might be more irritated than normal but @HostGator support is absolute TRASH 🗑

  • ioo_infinity iO Infinity (@ioo_infinity) reported

    @HostGator We recommend not to use @HostGator services, terrible service, terrible support, no customer service, a total lack of respect.

  • andre_mke Andre Robitaille (@andre_mke) reported

    @nicktherat Depends what you want. Their one-click software install list is very small, and I've noticed more outages than bluehost. The webmail is also pretty bad. But otherwise I think the management console and renewals system is much better than bluehost. Haven't tried hostgator though.

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @SocalRegionWeb I don't know, if you have issues at HostGator, you'll have them at BlueHost, they're the same company, lookup 'EIG', nightmare hosting conglomerate. Be careful.

  • eczJustRacin ECZ (@eczJustRacin) reported

    Day 2 of website down due to a server problem and now no one will answer the phone @HostGator Not happy customer at the moment 😡 #itsallaboutcommunication

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @HGSupport @Tha5SOSFamily Hostgator's service made satan look good.🌚

  • seekerart7 just another lad 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶 (@seekerart7) reported

    @HGSupport Live chat is down.. I have it open but the loading gif has been whirling for 20 min now & nothing - I checked it in 2 browsers. I could forgive this on some level if I was having my emails responded to regarding a serious server issue but no response.

  • coderinthebox Coder in the Box (@coderinthebox) reported

    @cyberdragn @HostGator Domain info is always public. It is web name catalog until you purchase domain privacy service. Domain privacy service is like a P.O. box post office service that you need to buy extra

  • auntie_beak Auntie Beak (@auntie_beak) reported

    @hgsupport @HostGator Losing patience with your "help." I contacted your chat support 1 week ago for help with a database security issue. The "support" person proceeded to destroy my website. Now all my links are broken. I have an open ticket.

  • lexsukehiro lex (@lexsukehiro) reported

    @WHMCSCares I'm trying to get my Hostgator's license since yesterday. My domain was supposedly sent to some kind of manual review there's more than 24h and I still have no answer, nor on my e-mail, neither on the client area. Can you PLEASE help me?

  • EthaanJack Ethan Jackson (@EthaanJack) reported

    @pardocorp Previously, I had terrible experience with Hostgator too. My site had so many downtimes. Just moved to new services!

  • drummereyesafi Ali is Irwin’s Fire-Stream Ai & 5SOS⭐️ (@drummereyesafi) reported

    @Tha5SOSFamily @thehoneypop @HostGator Wow that doesn’t sound very business friendly to me. So sorry. Why did they take it down in the first place?

  • webzcc Webz.cc (@webzcc) reported

    @ImEdward83 @HGSupport @Tha5SOSFamily DAMN

  • cristinagargoyL gargoyl says F**K unity with insurrectionists (@cristinagargoyL) reported

    @HGSupport I have nothing but problems since signing on with your company. I've been on chat support almost every single night for weeks now. I cannot log into my site at all, the SSL is still not activated and I want a resolution NOW.

  • JayLav_ Jay Lav (@JayLav_) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport over a month and still no resolve on my DNS issues, how are you still a profitable company?

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    Anybody know Hostgator down? Can't get to my sites now for 15 minutes. @HostGator @HGSupport - Yeah it seems like it... oh well, check back in 15.

  • mypenplease Sports betting lead expert. (@mypenplease) reported

    @HGSupport your support has never been that good.

  • capitalarchist Yankeecon (@capitalarchist) reported

    @Z_Weddig Plus if someone has a private website with a private email server they rent from HostGator or something, after a few years of never deleting a message you may reach a full inbox.

  • eczJustRacin ECZ (@eczJustRacin) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Thanks for addressing our problem today, was just aggravated that first your automated answering doesn't recognize our pin and was on hold for an hour each time, twice. So far it's all holding up. We always hate to have to contact you with any problems.

  • pardocorp Ed Pardo (@pardocorp) reported

    In a few words: @HostGator is the worst hosting service ever!

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @jpinkleybooks @bluehost @HostGator That’s right. And...EIG just got bought by a venture capital firm, if you thought support and slowness was bad before just wait until those new guys strip things down even further. My advice: run far away from EIG. total nightmare and so are the affiliates who pump them.

  • pedrochavezdig Pedro Chavez (@pedrochavezdig) reported

    Despite these challenging times, we made a significant effort to upgrade the @HostGator hosting service. After that, all the websites stopped working for almost five days now. They promise to downgrade without refunding the money— horrible customer service.

  • YaBoyDaReal1 Ya Boy a Real 1 (@YaBoyDaReal1) reported

    @HGSupport Prematurely??? I doubt that. This is a lack of customer service of dead air. They are trained to not have dead air. Or aim I wrong about that???
