✌ Brando™ 🇨🇦 Whistler (@surfingshreddie) reported@HGSupport I cannot access any of my websites. Are your servers down?
-
coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedThe worst web and email hosting provider is Hostgator. They suspend user accounts without warning. Their censorship policy is arbitrary allowing no clear definition of policy. Your opinion is not allowed on your own web site! #scam #HostGatorSux

-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@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.

Annie 🍁 Freedom Enthusiast (@westcoastgirl1) reported@HGSupport my sites are down because of your poor service over 24hours now. I have moved on to another host and it has been night and day between the 2 providers... all I got from you is to be strung along, probably went through at least 5 of your chatbots and it deteriorated each time
-
Brandon🇺🇦 (@bc3tech) reported@HGSupport where can i get status on the ongoing email issue?
-
Shamail Aijaz (@shamailaijaz) reported@HostGator's customer support is a huge disappointment! It's been 6 days and still no update on my ticket S-2195876. They don't seem to understand the issue and can't provide a solution. This is extremely unprofessional and their customer support is dead. @HGSupport

o-mega.ai (@o_mega___) reportedCatwatchful’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.

Laurus Travel (@laurustravel) reported@HostGator Our websites hosted by you have been down for 10+ hours. How much longer do we have to wait?
-
Tawheed (@tawheedsofia) reported@BigRock one of the worst companies every -friends be careful - they dont ifnrom u anything - they migrated me from hostgator then blackmailed me into taking expensive VPS server and then now emailed me to change name servers - did it - BOOM full crash !!!!!
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@seanrogers8 @HostGator @spamhaus Spamhaus looks at email traffic from an IP address, often across many users on a shared server, not a single account. Our teams monitor and work with them to clear any listings. Please reach out to support so we can review your specific server and email setup.
-
Feo Amante 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reportedDay 3 of @HGSupport / @HostGator tech support. Still no solutions in sight. The most obvious on the 1st day would be to reset from their end and give me the info my ftp client needs to connect, but no. Day 3
-
Eduardo Morales (@chikipollo08) reported@HostGator I submitted a support ticket regarding my hosting; my emails are not reaching their destination. I've had the ticket open for 3 days and no one has followed up on it.
-
Amy Lathrop (@amyalathrop) reported.@HostGator problems with outgoing email for me. I cannot get support from chat or phone "help." Is this going to be resolved soon?
-
coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedHostGator and Network Solutions, both owned by Newfold Digital, are guilty of hostile censorship. Users report struggling to regain access to their sites after wrongful suspensions, with slow, unhelpful customer support failing to provide clear reasons for the lockout.
-
Austin Ross 🇺🇸 (@A_Ross) reported@HGSupport do none of your support reps have access to WHM on shared accounts? I've been on the phone with a tech support for an hour. She's completely out of her league. The fix would have taken her 30 seconds on WHM to open phpmyadmin and change the definers of a function
-
Tyler (@tb6___) reportedI 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
