    Our Download Page Is Back Up For Temporary, It Isnt Much, But It Was Faster Than @HostGator Support, if we were waiting on them we would still be waiting

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    Are you considering @HostGator to host your website? If so, contact me and let me tell you my horror stories with their support. Or should I say, lack thereof.

  • _WhatifStudio_ Whatif Studio (@_WhatifStudio_) reported

    @HostGator @hostgatorindia Your support phone no. is bad. Trying to connect since morning with some queries. But the call is not getting connected after the IVR. Will you please look after this...

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    I’m receiving approx 60 ssl cert error emails every day. @HostGator support suggested I create a folder and redirect them there. This is not customer support!!! Why not correct whatever is causing the errors?

  • UriAbramov Uri Abramov (@UriAbramov) reported

    I have been using @HGSupport @HostGator for about 15 years I have been having some problems with the server and it’s been down for over a month I can’t get a manager to call me for over two weeks already this is absolutely despicable

  • rikimgr Riki Rivera (@rikimgr) reported

    Up late with @HostGator Support trying to figure out how to upgrade my package since I’m really committing to reviving my website 🥲

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Other than being Wholly untrustworthy, and Shady, and Never Working, And Having Admin Only Issues, But No Admin Available, And Always Opening Files That Shouldnt Exist, And Failing To Use SSL On Sites After Repeated Requests To Fix, And Having My Site Down On A Daily Basis...

  • UriAbramov Uri Abramov (@UriAbramov) reported

    What the hell is wrong with this company @HostGator @HGSupport you can’t even pay the damn bill online even if you wanted to does anybody have the same problem as well? I’ve spoken to over 15 agents in this company and nobody can help

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    I’m receiving approx 60 ssl cert error emails every day. After weeks of calls, @HostGator support said to create a folder and redirect the cPanel error emails there and ignore them. This is not customer support!!! Correct whatever is causing the errors.

  • dynastic dynastic (@dynastic) reported

    shoulda never smoked that **** now 6 planets are in hostgator

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @tiMCrow666 @HostGator What an entirely ****** service, people like this need to be sued into oblivion

  • QuestionablePr5 Questionable Programming (@QuestionablePr5) reported

    @HostGator @Twitter Glad to know its not just another weird problem with my internet

  • VictorRevere Revere (@VictorRevere) reported

    @HGSupport After about 45 calls to a offshore support number and DM to support, my problem is still not solved. I’m now shopping for a different hosting service. One thing you can count on; I will flood social media with the truth about your lack of customer service.

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

    @BridgetMWillard When I was at HostGator, I really came to enjoy working on it. You can do some really neat stuff, especially if you are using Cloudflare etc. However, since I'm not working with it regularly, I try to avoid it if I can help it.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport Ooh now you just have to make the Admins actually care about something and we will be good to go, my site has been down 2 days, talked to 15 agents, sent 20 requests, explained 12 hours on phone, 5 chat sessions, and fixed all issues and even installed site lock, and still notta

  • EthaanJack Ethan Jackson (@EthaanJack) reported

    @GlewmeCorp Don't go with hostgator. I used them previously, so many issues. You may consider Asphostportal, I'm using their service.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Cool Now try Focusing on Hosting, Instead of whatever Host Gator Does, Because It Cant Be Hosting, Because It Never Works

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    we will build an entire new site in the time @HostGator cant even get an "Admin" to fix the issue that should speak for itself

  • DavidKellyAD David Kelly (@DavidKellyAD) reported

    @HGSupport Already reached out, it was resolved for about 10 minutes and then went down again.

  • Decipherous Krakadoom (@Decipherous) reported

    @HostGator You mean never put all your eggs near a gator? 🤔

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator I mean I guess any hosting things that dont include hosting I guess you may be good at that, well that and things that dont require any real resolutions just more and more excuses, oh and nothing that requires any real level of customer service or satisfaction, you may be good

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @tiMCrow666 @HostGator Really and even if they thought they were the best, what worst service on earth still has the site down 2 days later, and has admins stuck in 1993 who can only email haahhaha

  • OutlawSoaps Outlaw (@OutlawSoaps) reported

    @monaeatsLA (Danielle here)- I feel like everything relies on someone else's platform at this point... when I was on Wordpress, HostGator went down for 3 days. Now I'm on Shopify, and they sometimes (rarely) go down. Is there anywhere that isn't on someone else's platform?

  • JoshuaTSibanda Joshua T Sibanda (@JoshuaTSibanda) reported

    @BlogKiki_ I'm getting some response from GoDaddy,bluehost, HostGator & namecheap servers. But Hostinger and dreamhost seem to be down. This is very difficult to explain. However, Facebook runs over 30k servers in-house, this is in some partnership with GoDaddy, which is up.

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Also I would try less to retaliate on consumers with issues by disabling websites Mysteriously

  • DwdMallender Dan Mallender (@DwdMallender) reported

    @HostGator @Twitter Down? What’s happening?

  • GlewmeCorp GLEWME CITY (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    In my entire career, I am sure I have not heard of, or encountered a company so incapable of mediocre service even and who mismanaged anything as bad as @hostgator has mismanaged my hosting and registrations

  • Damnian_NFT Damnian (@Damnian_NFT) reported

    @GlewmeCorp @HostGator I personally would never host an alligator, just too risky and not that reliable. Well that should be obvious…

  • LifeTraveled LifeTravelStilettos (@LifeTraveled) reported

    @NomadicNeen I use Wordpress but host with @HostGator. So much better service (and less expensive than my previous hosting company which shall remain unnamed -- but isn't the one you mentioned.
