  • grumpy_again TheGrumpyOldGit (@grumpy_again) reported

    @HGSupport hostgator been slow with data for last few day ? not sure re cache plugin? & link u sent only shows half & cant click it

  • RevJDubya the Real Rev JDubya 🏳️‍🌈 (@RevJDubya) reported

    @HostGator is absolutely the most inefficient website domain platform. We have had so much trouble with them. It's absurd how terrible their customer service and follow through is.

  • _thiag0x Thiago M. (@_thiag0x) reported

    Hey @hostgator! Why da **** im cant't redirect my website in SSL ?????????????????

  • MlSlave MLSlavePuppet (@MlSlave) reported

    @carolyna_luna @BrigitWrites I’ve used Hostgator for a vanilla site and I was really dissatisfied because it lags, the help they provide isn’t the best and the site loads slowly

  • CarolynHogarth Carolyn Hogarth (@CarolynHogarth) reported

    They are saying we have not paid for that site, when in fact we have. We paid for 3 years of service from this site through HostGator, and Word-press. And further someone has been removing my words, and pictures from my site. Why? It is a spam email....

  • wesdavenport Wes Davenport (@wesdavenport) reported

    @HGSupport hi! I haven’t heard back from support since Jan. 9 after multiple follow ups. My site has been down the entire time.

  • ahmed_badran Ahmed Badran (@ahmed_badran) reported

    Don't use @HostGator Slow servers and slow support. My website is down for the 5th day. Without any solution just auto reply on my ticket/ email. #webhosting #DontDoThisMistakeOnNewYear

  • FantastcFinds Fantastic Finds (@FantastcFinds) reported

    @HostGator stop sending me invoices for services you are not providing to me... and then blocking my emails to you asking you to stop with these communications. I haven’t been your customer in years. Leave me alone.

  • UmmahReviving hypedgem (@UmmahReviving) reported

    @HostGator your servers are down? Pls fix asap!!!! #hostgator

  • luciensabre Lucien Sabre (@luciensabre) reported

    @blackleg471 @Hostens_hosting One of the WORST you mean. 🤢🤮 Bluehost (and all its fellow EIG brands like HostGator, iPage, JustHost, Host Monster....and several dozens of other brands) are pure hosting garbage. Only their affiliates recommend them.

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @selfbankt Yikes, you read a bunch of paid reviews by affiliates. Get a refund and run, HostGator is part of EIG, the worst hosting conglomerate on the face of the planet. Brace for a slow site, non-existent support and malware at some point where they'll charge you an arm and leg to remove

  • DenaliWinter Sadistic Stylist Denali (@DenaliWinter) reported

    should I call hostgator support again to get my vanity domain redirect urls actually working, or should I turn them into simple splash pages covered in the link I want people to click? 🤔 Choices...

  • G2N_HOST G2N HOST (@G2N_HOST) reported

    @HarishKaushik99 @HostGator If you were here you would not be angry, in addition to having support every day by phone and chat.

  • qiaodengf Name cannot be blank (@qiaodengf) reported

    @HostGator Had such a great experience with this hosting until we needed support. We got our service shut off early, they they promised to fix it and botched that entirely. Still waiting for their help.

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    Hi @Cloudways I am on @HostGator but keep getting "reduce server response time" issues. They cant resolve it (we even disabled every plugin/used default theme) my site is optimized. They just keep suggesting same thing. Can we test the site on your hosting before fully switching?

  • agusmus Agustín Mustieles (@agusmus) reported

    @HGSupport Hi my two server are down and I have been waiting 20 minutes in the support chat and nobody answer me.

  • ForexZoneForum Forex Zone (@ForexZoneForum) reported

    @Antonio_Dns7 Yes, and it is being worked on. The problem is HostGator. They have a 99.9% guarantee, but this is now the 3rd day of problems. Their admins never reply back as promised too. I'm sorry for you not being able to visit the forum. It will be worked out soon.

  • HathwayCreative Chris @ HathwayCreative (@HathwayCreative) reported

    @HGSupport Thank you. Yes, I predate them I think. Support have tried to send me a link to reset it a couple of times but the emails never come. I'll look at the settings when I get a minute. Thanks again for the response.

  • surfnewmedia Surf New Media (@surfnewmedia) reported

    @HGSupport clients in the midwest are not able to load their sites.... getting DNS PROBE FINISHED NXDOMAIN ... doesnt seem to affect me on the east coast. Is there an issue?

  • ChrisEOlive 𝙲𝚑𝚛𝚒𝚜 𝙾𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎 (@ChrisEOlive) reported

    @HostGator using only #chat or #telephone for support is positively 15th century and is probably the end of our relationship. I can't just open a ticket or send an email? No one has time to hang out on chat for a simple request or the telephone of all things. #CXfail

  • ahmed_badran Ahmed Badran (@ahmed_badran) reported

    Imagine the feedback of your customers if your website went down for 5 days!! @HostGator sucks.

  • _David_Curtis_ david curtis (@_David_Curtis_) reported

    @HGSupport hello. My email is down and I can’t access cPanel. Your live chat also appears to be down. Please advise.

  • VicHecha Vic Hecha (@VicHecha) reported

    @WilliamNOtis I would stay away from hostgator as well (as well as the 100s of EIG brands) they're notoriously bad. I moved clients over from godaddy and hostgator to a managed wordpress host and they can't believe how much faster things are.

  • UmmahReviving hypedgem (@UmmahReviving) reported

    @mzeeshan00 @HostGator Yes they are Down from 1:30 hours now approx

  • G2N_HOST G2N HOST (@G2N_HOST) reported

    @ScottSandry @Cloudways @HostGator If you were here you would not be angry, in addition to having support every day by phone and chat.

  • HathwayCreative Chris @ HathwayCreative (@HathwayCreative) reported

    @HGSupport Hi, Everytime I login to Live Chat I am asked for a PIN, I've never had a pin and it takes ages to verify me before we can continue. Just over 10 minutes to acheive verification which is a waste of my and your supports time. Is there a solution to this?

  • saurabhsabh Saurabh Sabharwal (@saurabhsabh) reported

    @HostGator All our sites on the dedicated server are down and support in not contactable at all. Do you know what is going on?

  • intake_create InTakeCreate (@intake_create) reported

    @steffs_journey I would assume most answers you get in here will be affiliate links. Which isn't bad but doesn't give a great representation of top tier web hosts. For absolute safety, I would honestly say the big names like: Namecheap HostGator Or even goDaddy

  • GorbachevTrev Trev Gorbachev (@GorbachevTrev) reported

    @elemntor 3rd day of using Elementor Pro. Helped me build web pages so quickly. Until today, when multiple pages started giving me a System Error 500. Hostgator ran tests, found no issues at their end. Sad that I couldn't find a 24x7 Elementor help line. Bad delay.

  • onlysubas TheOne (@onlysubas) reported

    @HostGator why it takes days to provide the simple solution, we have been waiting for support since Jan 6, i believe you have higher standard support services. Case id:28636321.
