    @dcodrea We know that popup looks sketchy, but it isn’t from your HostGator site; it’s a browser extension (Coupert) injecting coupon ads over your dashboard. Try incognito or another browser; if it’s gone, remove the extension. If not, support can help!

    Catwatchful’s breach exposed thousands of victim and customer records in July 2025, with attackers leaking photos, locations, and messages. Operators bypassed the first shutdown by migrating APIs to HostGator—demonstrating how stalkerware survives by shifting infrastructure faster than hosts can react. Google only started flagging the app with Play Protect after TechCrunch’s publication, and the spyware’s operators relaunched service within days. This cycle shows tech platforms can barely keep up when stalkerware pivots, and just about every stalkerware provider eventually leaks all their data.

    What’s wrong with HostGator? I need to contact my doctor but HostGator just gives me the runaround. Anyone have similar problems?

    @HGSupport @HostGator @spamhaus Your tech support sucks. They have been working on it for 2 days. My company email still doesn't work!! If your employees were competent your service would work

    @HGSupport @HostGator Your team did not. If they told you that, its false. I get a Hostgator email whenever I sign in. No problem. I got a Hostgator ad trying to sell me more stuff. No problem. Unfortunately your team of Escalated Techs have been unable to send a simple email since Friday, 9:14am

    @FeoAmante @HostGator Hey, Feo. We'd like to look further into this and get your site back online. Please send us a DM with any open (or closed) ticket IDs related to this issue, and we'd be happy to assist you from there.

    We’re moving to @HostGator — they actually pick up the phone. A website host should support your business, not sink it.

    @academicoweb @HostGator We hear you that you are having trouble with the auth code and have concerns about the price and specs of your hosting plan. Repeatedly mentioning us in posts and replies keeps us going through notifications instead of being able to help you. Hence, "spam." Our DMs are open.

    @HostGator @HGSupport Today makes six days without access to my server and three revenue generating sites. No new sales, no access to email will lead to customer (revenue) loss. Zero updates and appears no progress being made. The class-action law firms are circling. Complete incompetence on display.

    @HGSupport @DanMicovic @HostGator There is no service in my VPS since monda. One whole work week lost.

    @BigRock after Hostgator migrated to Bigrock, pathetic service. Support numbers never works. No service support. Many glitches. Should not take responsibility which you can not deliver

    @MudiTheInvestor @myarmone The first time I experienced true customer care was with @HostGator after suffering in the hands of WhoGoHost(a Nigerian hosting company)

  • okyall55

    @HostGator is the WORST! Refuses to honor links (says file doesn't exist). More than 2x expensive as @IONOS. Loses posts, media and just generally SUCKS! Customer Service is AWFUL! I'm like IONOS they have a partner who will back up your file for an expensive fee. Otherwise, they just delete your stuff and you have no option if you haven't backed it up yourself. I paid to restore a backup and didn't get half of what they deleted. The reason I know I didn't delete it myself is because it's not in the trash folder. HOSTGATOR DELETED and it's my opinion that they did it intentionally so that they could charge me for a restore and then they didn't really restore much of anything. I lost a lot of memories.

    Wow. @HostGator has never been closed at this time. Now it says "office closed". @HGSupport

    @BigRock @HostGator @hostgatorindia My website is down since last 4-5 days. The business is in trouble. What are you doing? Now please dont ask to DM my details... It is not only my problem... There are serveral other business, too. Answer here only...

  • FeoAmante
    Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reported

    @ethanjaack Day 6 of @HGSupport and they arbitrarily closed the ticket without checking to see if their fix worked. Which it did not. So after all these years, a random, easily solved glitch, ends my time with them. Turning a likely 15 min. Tech call into 3 emails over 6 days? Failure.

    🚨Business owners- avoid @squarespace @SquarespaceHelp at all costs. We are losing thousands/day. •Locked out of our account •Domain down •0 phone support •6+ hr “emergency” response If you run a business, avoid them at all costs. Switching to @HostGator ASAP. Here’s the full story 👇

    @HostGator @HGSupport When will you fix your email hosting? You provide the worst service ever!

    @HostGator Is there an issue with down websites???

  • _tapish
    Tapish Jain (@_tapish) reported

    @BigRock The migration has so many bugs that it is impossible for me to renew my hosting that I had on hostgator. If I didn't renew by tomorrow, my servers will go down, while bigrock support says they are helpless. This video is misleading. @bhavintu

    I didn’t think it was possible but HostGator made their ****** website even worse If anyone reading this ends up needing web hosting use literally any other service

    After 14 years as a HostGator customer, I’m leaving. Not because of price. Not because of performance. But because they silently blocked all outbound traffic and took down my ecommerce business. 🧵👇

    Getting started with a website is actually quite easy. First step is to select a webhost & install your WordPress framework. I personally use and recommend @Hostgator because their customer support is phenomenal, ensuring you never wait hours to resolve tech problems.

    @BigRock @hostgatorindia X HostGator → BigRock migration. Same email on both platforms = migration failed. Domains moved there, hosting stayed here. Now they want me to hand over hosting directly to clients. Not acceptable. Indian businesses deserve better service standards.

  • DanMicovic
    Daniel Micovic (@DanMicovic) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport entering day 6 without access to 3 revenue producing sites, and no one at HG has any answers, only cut-and-paste replies. Hearing nearly 50k sites still down and HG is recruiting help on Fiverr. Epic fail and clear signal that revenue producing sites cannot trust HG.

  • HGSupport
    HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @seanrogers8 @HostGator No need to worry, this is not a hack. DNS tools can show SPF/DKIM/DMARC records more than once when zones or hostnames overlap or if the browser has some caching issues. If you reach out to support, we can review your DNS directly and make sure everything is set correctly.

    After 23 years being a customer of @HostGator they recently deleted/lost all database content for 4 sites during a hosting renewal. In an attempt to get a refund I got a runaround from with 3 different companies including #BlueHost and #Network Solutions. No refund yet.

    @voytekbereza @HostGator Sounds like a deployment or script loading issue. This is where stable infrastructure and proper server setup really make a difference.

    @voytekbereza @HostGator Support quality matters just as much as uptime and pricing. Hoping this gets addressed quickly. Would appreciate an update from the team soon.
