  • YoungbloodJoe Joe Youngblood (@YoungbloodJoe) reported

    @HGSupport Same problem your shared system always has. It crashes due to overloading and you blame the websites that purchase it based on your marketing. Y'all just do a poor job keeping the shared servers healthy.

    @HostGator I have been calling and chatting with your team since morning, but there’s no resolution very bad service...@HGSupport @hostgatorindia

  • atluxity Hans-Petter Fjeld (@atluxity) reported

    @Frikkylikeme Already using cloudflare, it was still causing too high CPU usage for our hostgator plan, and they did not support a smooth upscaling.

  • prob_solvr James Powell (@prob_solvr) reported

    @HostGator client portal is completely down...

  • lemead Lindsey Mead (@lemead) reported

    I encourage all bloggers to move off of @HostGator - they used to be great and now it's an absolute disaster. Site down for days and no help.

  • paultranzit Paul Tranzit (@paultranzit) reported

    It's frustrating as all hell when @HostGator charges your credit card for a cancelled service, then when they refund you, they miss $20 because "exchange rate differences". Thanks for the motivation to move my other 3 accounts. How not to do customer service. Bye Felicia!

  • prob_solvr James Powell (@prob_solvr) reported

    When your web hosting provider installs your new SSL on the wrong domain and then makes you wait 24+ hours to fix it. Still waiting…. @HostGator

  • z3r0v01t Lalit Sahu (@z3r0v01t) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator @HGSupport Thanks support team. I received refund on my Hostgator Wallet.

  • bc3tech Brandon (@bc3tech) reported

    @HostGator any plans to support ALIAS records in DNS? Thanks

  • thekohser Gregory Kohs (@thekohser) reported

    After over 13 years with @HostGator , I am strongly considering switching hosts, as my current host's customer service staff don't seem to understand my dismay over a 30% price increase, plus a ridiculous $10 monthly fee for cPanel, which other hosts provide at no extra cost.

  • mgwheeler63 Michael Wheeler (@mgwheeler63) reported

    Called @HGSupport 8 minute phone call with silence and then a survey on how my support tech was. #HungUpOn

  • SharkGuy8 Sharkfhshlgfhthkb (@SharkGuy8) reported

    @HostGator Shut ******** up get out of here

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @ceciliatan @YesItsNicolaC Hostgator and Bluehost are owned by the same company which is a venture capital firm...so whatever one does, the other does too. GoDaddy just plain sucks too

  • digitalbrijeshh Brijesh Soni (@digitalbrijeshh) reported

    Worst Customer Support @HostGator @hostgatorindia

  • custmguru scott (@custmguru) reported

    @HGSupport What's up with the support chat? I've been trying to connect for about 2 hours

  • LegndaryThreads Mythic Fantastique (@LegndaryThreads) reported

    @ReviewSignal It basically started because I was frustrated with the BS "hosting review" sites, and friends and clients wanted more than just "I'd recommend these hosts... seriously, GoDaddy is crap... please don't use HostGator..." etc etc, and pointing them to a not-me expert worked better.

  • cparizo Christine Parizo (@cparizo) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Why are all my websites down?

  • mnwickens Martin Wickens (@mnwickens) reported

    Follow up on my last post, I know its not Hostgator, just the process of needing to submit info to buy a domain and then for legal reasons that info is made public. Still, I've bought many domains and never had calls like this.
