    .@HGSupport your cpanel has an issue where multiphp manager can change the version but it isn't reflected on the server under server info unless you log into WHM and change it there

  • optwtn OP (@optwtn) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia The attitude to such a critical #infrastructure service seems callous. My service is affected. I've got at least 4 site up & down reports from installed wordpress plugins all thru the day. Strange thing is the #hostgator team seems oblivious to this & no checks at their end?!

  • Pinup_America Pinup America (Magazine) (@Pinup_America) reported

    @HostGator this company's a joke. They've admitted fault by stuffing up my domain address for the site I was building. It's been down over 2 weeks. I'm seeking compensation. 6 unanswered emails requesting legal address not provided for papers to be served. List your problem below

    hostgator is extremely slow, if it’s not loading, just reload the page 😭

  • juliakolens Julia ✨ (@juliakolens) reported

    @HostGator is something wrong? I can’t load my website and it says there is an issue with the server. Really frustrating

    @HostGator your tech support needs life support! Seriously disappointing! #webhosting #notreally

  • mongoose3228 Barry James (@mongoose3228) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue @HostGator There is a way but you have to be determined Phone CC company and tell them you lost your card and they will cancel it and post you a new one. The CVC and end date will be different so effectively a new card

    @Mandoline_Blue @HostGator You could just cancel your Direct Debit at your bank and see what happens.

  • RY_Scientist Rohit Yadav (@RY_Scientist) reported

    @HGSupport I raised the 2fa request to the support team who would then sync my bankwire to the credits, hope they have conveyed to the engineering and finance team and tracking it fast to fix it :)

    @Gabriels_Daddy_ I have written to Hostgator that my debit cards (10 times) are getting blocked but today the escalated team (Madhura) replied "you are having problems with credit card" How do these people get jobs in USA ?

  • Rpsran RavinderPal Singh Sran (@Rpsran) reported

    @HostGator my server is down from past 24 hours. All i asked your support was to restart the server. Worst customer support ever. @HGSupport

  • RavagoBham bham ravago (@RavagoBham) reported

    @CoachGiorgio @HGSupport Don’t get scammed while others are getting help from the right source you can contact @calce_anonymous on Twitter they helped on all kinds of hacked accounts, Facebook hacked,Instagram hacked, Snapchat hacked and also enable tight securities to all my account

    @HostGator / @HGSupport your customer service is next level. I cannot thank yall enough for everything you continue to do for your customers!

  • kashyap286 Kashyap Sriram (@kashyap286) reported

    @theBuoyantMan @elonmusk Correct me if I'm wrong, but Apple's 30% applies to all app revenue, including in-app purchases. That's poor economics for app owners. That's like GoDaddy and Hostgator taking a cut of your revenue for hosting your website.

  • Bluddybrilliant Bluddybrilliant (@Bluddybrilliant) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue @HostGator Go to your bank asap, Mando, and cancel your existing SO or DD with them

  • optwtn OP (@optwtn) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @hostgatorindia Have already done that. Once the site was down (a client complained), spoke to tele support. They said some issue with server (I had to hold for 25 mins!) & sorted things out. After 15 mins, site was down again. So called again!

  • Sportzone___ Sportzone (@Sportzone___) reported

    @HGSupport My dedicated Windows server has been down for almost 5 hours. I have used chat support and also phone support and can't seem to get anyone to look at it. How can I get someone to look at my server?

  • ColbyWTaylor Colby Taylor (@ColbyWTaylor) reported

    What is your go to #wordpress hosting? I attempted to branch out from DO and try bluehost- I had high expectations for a dedicated service but I think even hostgator had it more together😱 #hosting

  • Pumpkinz16 Pumpkin #FBPE #FBPPR 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@Pumpkinz16) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue @HostGator Cancel the payment with your card provider.
