  • jerseydevil76a Red And Black 4 Ever 👿🔴⚫️ (@jerseydevil76a) reported

    @HGSupport Oh please I have chatted with you guys for 24 ******* hours and same song and dance.. we’re fixing the issue

  • notthebuddha Jim Martin (@notthebuddha) reported

    I cannot believe I am arguing with @HostGator billing. I bought 3yrs of service, used 5 months, and I want the remaining cost for 31 months of service, that I won't be using, and they say it's not possible Don't worry @HostGator, maybe 2024 will be the year you do better

  • TarbellCameron cameron • i make websites. (@TarbellCameron) reported

    @SooMinNYC Ouch. Your website is hosted in Luxembourg from what I can see. Some company there. Idk much about them. I would move it to HostGator in the US if possible. Super reliable and great customer support. They allow adult content as long as it’s legal which yours most likely is.

  • AbduljalilSaleh Abduljalil AlMudhari عبدالجليل المضري (@AbduljalilSaleh) reported

    @HGSupport I have 2 servers from HostGator, one of them from 2015, I purchase dedicated server to upgrade my work, but it is very slow, and the old server VPS is better. if HostGator continues for bad support I'm sure all customers will move to AWS.

  • gareththomasnz gareththomasnz 😇🚀👽(Godlike/Immortal) (@gareththomasnz) reported

    Hostgator is utterly ******* terrible these days - my whole account is infested with malware - support is ****** & actually lies to you

  • zimpeterw Peter Wright (@zimpeterw) reported

    @HGSupport Thanks for responding, I got onto your helpline and a very helpful man sorted the problem for me. It was something to do with the SSL certification. All sites now working.

  • israel_bar Israel Barragán (@israel_bar) reported

    @HGSupport your chat support is not working now...

  • FGOABORG I need to come up with a clever name (@FGOABORG) reported

    @askwpgirl I was at HostGator when BlueHost fired everyone and outsourced their support to Phoenix. They used to be really good but they went downhill fast and hard.

  • Ana_Lorian ApothecaryAna (@Ana_Lorian) reported

    I ******* LOATHE @HostGator and their service reps. I will be switching hosting services as soon as I find one better. UGH!!! Any suggestions??

  • MachM6 Mach (@MachM6) reported

    @Gabriels_Daddy_ Buddy, Reserve Bank of India has banned debit & credit cards payments outside India. There is no way I can pay $24 for my website domain renewal to Hostgator USA. If you pay $24 for my domain renewal by US bank cheque or money order that will be real help

  • genel 🐒 (@genel) reported

    @HGSupport can't reset my password. Tried to use the "Forgot Password" link and I didn't get it in my email. Could you please help?

  • keithlaw keithlaw (@keithlaw) reported

    @DangerousMabry It's a @hgsupport issue. Primarily happens to some users on mobile.

  • flytyingguy Sean Johnson (@flytyingguy) reported

    We are so moving all of our @HostGator after the slowest tech support ever!

  • aafc795 Joe Moore (@aafc795) reported

    @cybernaira I haven't had a website in a few years---Namecheap didn't justify its upsold re-up cost after a 3-year trial. The price increase would have recouped and offset the 3 year discount. HostGator had excellent customer follow up with live phone calls to see how you're doing.

  • TheRpgAcademy TheRpgAcademy (@TheRpgAcademy) reported

    @Cortraption @AramVartian same. Hostgator for 11 years. I don't get the DLs you do, but i've rarely had any issues and the ones I did have were quickly handled.

  • ecarlesi Emiliano Carlesi (@ecarlesi) reported

    Possible threat on login-mygov-au[.]com #hostgator

  • jerseydevil76a Red And Black 4 Ever 👿🔴⚫️ (@jerseydevil76a) reported

    @HostGator is complete garbage. My server has been down for 24 hours with no reason.

  • PowerInProduct Power In Product (@PowerInProduct) reported

    @HGSupport will you help me? I have case opened #45613606

  • HMoitie HalfMoitié (@HMoitie) reported

    @HGSupport all the sites I have hosted with Hostgator are down again. This is the second time today, both times indicating ns errors. #hostgatorhelp

  • halsdran james ezra haak (@halsdran) reported

    Hello @HostGator. You got a PM. You allow a Domain registered under your company that shares underage pornography and ***********. Please take of this issue.

  • 512Hosting 512 Hosting (@512Hosting) reported

  • callmelexis lex 🜃 🍂 this is why (@callmelexis) reported

    hostgator and all of EIG is the worst company, like a customer service agent pretended to be their supervisor because they didn’t want to transfer me to one, and their chat name was the same as they pretended to be the supervisor. called them out - LOLLL so dumb

  • zimpeterw Peter Wright (@zimpeterw) reported

    @HGSupport are you having problems today?

  • jerseydevil76a Red And Black 4 Ever 👿🔴⚫️ (@jerseydevil76a) reported

    @HostGator steals your money and just gives a bunch of BS when you need help. I have been with them for years.. this is unacceptable

  • ArtOfDPX DeadPhoenX | Blue Fish Apartment (@ArtOfDPX) reported

    Over the weekend there was an SSL issue on the Blue Fish Apartment that I wasn't aware of that affected visiting the site. Turns out this was due to a setting I left on when I was still with Hostgator. I flipped it back to default and resolved the issue.

  • TouristCoup TouristCoup (@TouristCoup) reported

    @HostGator I have been having issues getting my site problems resolved. Why not use American tech support?! I will not recommend anyone use this company.

  • thedeluxeux Greg (@thedeluxeux) reported

    @HostGator your chat support is absolute trash at the moment I was ghost-charged without authorization while trying to cancel SiteLock (which you’re lucky I’m too tech-stupid to realize you upsold me on TWICE) And your chat agent can’t be bothered to respond in less than 4 mins

  • LetsEatwithT Let’s Eat with Thiela (@LetsEatwithT) reported

    @HGSupport you have the worst technical support agent! He claimed his name is Roi. I called on 1/5/2023 around 8:30pm PST. He doesn’t understand the question at all and keep on asking the same questions over and over again, refused to transfer me to anyone else, and went silent.
