    @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

  • Mandoline_Blue Mandoline (@Mandoline_Blue) reported

    @johnc10uk @HostGator Feels like daylight robbery to me. Means I'm effectively paying for two months when I'm not using the site. I only paid them 9 days ago. And now they want more. Not happy. Do you know a better hosting service John? I'll need one for my new site, going up in spring.

  • 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

  • turqnet Graham Talbot (@turqnet) reported

    @isobel_b @writerlane @HostGator So after 5 weeks this issue of sending emails to outlook/hotmail accounts continues. As a reseller this is extremely embarrassing as it appears that nothing had been done to resolve this problem. What’s up?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • elvelian A (@elvelian) reported

    @HostGator split my invoices which were all in one last year, took automatic renewal for the $128 host sharing but not for the $18.99 domain (why was the invoice even split this year?), now asking me to pay $75 extra to save my website. Customer sunk cost fallacy manipulation.

  • Mandoline_Blue Mandoline (@Mandoline_Blue) reported

    Anyone know how to cancel a website hosting with Hostgator without being fleeced? @HostGator I cancelled my auto-renew today & they emailed me to say they'll take ANOTHER payment on the 24 Dec before closing my account! 😡 My last payment was 20th Nov. Doesn't seem right!

  • girlyswotspider Girlyswot Spider 🌻 💙 🌎 🌱🕷🇪🇺 (@girlyswotspider) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue @HostGator Is it on DIrect Debit? If so, cancel that with your bank. Ditto if auto renew on your credit card (tho you’d have to do on their website I’m guessing). Wherever it’s deducted from, go there and cancel. Good luck!

  • McFlavour7 McFlav 🇦🇺 🇪🇺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@McFlavour7) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue @HostGator Cancel the direct debit with your bank.

  • architect58 J R Hardy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@architect58) reported

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

  • ixyz24 🆇🆈🆉24 (@ixyz24) reported

    @HostGator Poor file security on the server hostgator

  • monroeandco Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported

    .@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

  • elvelian A (@elvelian) reported

    @HostGator I have emailed them about this twice, only to get the response, "Rest assured, we can create the invoice for the redemption fee of USD 75" on both occasions so obviously, one is reading my emails and responding to my needs as a customer. No one is resolving the issues. None cares

  • Mandoline_Blue Mandoline (@Mandoline_Blue) reported

    Anyone know how to cancel a domain name with Hostgator without being fleeced? @HostGator I cancelled my auto-renew today & they emailed me to say they'll take ANOTHER payment on the 24 Dec before closing my account! 😡 My last payment was 20th November. Doesn't seem right!

  • MachM6 Mach (@MachM6) reported

    @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 ?

  • 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.
