    @BigRock I am stuck with hostgator migration, your support number are not available , Chat team is not able to support , where should i go ??

    @ShopifySupport @HostGator @Shopify I have submitted that form countless times and you have done nothing. If Cloudflare had not notified users the hackers would still be continuing to steal from us without any issues, because you have failed to take action.

    @HGSupport nearly 24 hours later and issue still not resolved, spoke to Agent Cherry today who had said sites should be ok by 8am. It’s now 8pm.

    @hostgatorserver Nice that you don't provide any phone support at all for domain names. I selected domain name in the menu. The people on the phone said since I don't have hosting with you they can't help me and nobody can help on the phone only in live chat that keeps getting disconnected while I wait on someone. Good job hostgator!

    @HostGator Apparently this company has moved all of it's customer service overseas. Consequently you can only understand every other word.

    @HGSupport I'm trying to buy a new domain. I agreed to terms of service and clicked Checkout Now. And nothing happens.

    @HGSupport our email server is running incredibly slow. Do you have an ETA on the fix for this?

    @DaveyJ_ @TheKingOfStank dude, especially with "managed" platforms... moved a clients domain over to hostgator and it was laughable. wouldn't let me update to my own name servers w/o going through support, and they had the PTR records all messed up so emails were getting flagged nonsense i tell you

    @HGSupport Why is it impossible to get anything escalated to people who can actually help?

    @HostGator my website is down!! can you help us???

  • okyall55

    @HostGator deleted MANY of my posts. Not me. Hostgator. Now they won't restore them unless I pay them to do it. I've been a customer for 20 years or more. Never thought I would see the day that they would be so blatantly crooked. If you use host Gator, you have to pay for them to back up your blog or pay a third party. Or you have to copy everything on your site. BlueHost is cheaper, backs up every day, charges nothing extra and restores for no charge. What happened to hostgator?????

  • laurustravel
    Laurus Travel (@laurustravel) reported

    @HostGator Our websites hosted by you have been down for 10+ hours. How much longer do we have to wait?

  • kkabsherwrites

    @HostGator, I’ve been stuck in endless chatbot loops trying to cancel Titan Email I never signed up for. No option to cancel, no real support. I’m a paying customer. I want it cancelled & a refund ASAP. No transparency on your site.

  • coltswalker
    coltswalker (@coltswalker) reported

    HostGator 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.

  • TrueSignalMedia
    True Signal Media (@TrueSignalMedia) reported

    Hey @HostGator — your “Live Chat” and “Support” links loop back to your own help page. I’ve got a valid SSL installed, DNS and Cloudflare set up correctly, but my site’s stuck in an HTTPS redirect loop (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS). Your backend needs to resync the SSL vhost or restart Apache. Any chance someone competent can help me out today?

    @ethanjaack Day 6 of @HGSupport and they arbitrarily closed the ticket without checking to see if their fix worked. Which it did not. So after all these years, a random, easily solved glitch, ends my time with them. Turning a likely 15 min. Tech call into 3 emails over 6 days? Failure.

    @HGSupport hi is HG down? I can’t login into my wp admin.

  • mettersoy
    Mehmet (@mettersoy) reported

    After 14 years as a HostGator customer, I’m leaving. Not because of price. Not because of performance. But because they silently blocked all outbound traffic and took down my ecommerce business. 🧵👇

    @YoungbloodJoe @jonoalderson Ugh. Need to switch! I left Bluehost, HostGator, and Network Solutions when they dug in their claws and gutted those services. Blech.

  • coltswalker
    coltswalker (@coltswalker) reported

    When I was a customer of #HostGator web hosting they suspended my account, and all of the web sites I was hosting, all of the email accounts, domains, everything, because someone complained to them about an article on a 3rd party wiki. AVOID HOSTGATOR! #consumerProtection

    Hosting a website shouldn’t cost a fortune. With @hostgator, you get: Unlimited storage & bandwidth Free domain & SSL certificate 24/7 support Starting at just $2.95/month

  • zrkann
    Zak Kann (Fractional CTO) (@zrkann) reported

    @FakeUncleNemo Agree generally, but not with Hostgator. EIG subsidiaries (Hostgator, Bluehost, etc) lure people in with cheap intro rates but they quickly raise the prices, their defaults are slow and often have security vulnerabilities, and their customer support, well, I'm not sure it exists.

  • danaoren

    @HostGator email and websites are down for Rogers clients in Canada. Question is, who is at fault? Bell and/or VPN works

  • okyall55
    OkYall (@okyall55) reported

    @Hostgator, unbeknownst to me no longer provide, free backup. Had I known this, I certainly would have moved my blog much, much sooner to @BlueHost who provides it for a free with zero charge restore fees. You have lost your customer service score but your bottom line may have increased TEMPORARILY. Now that I've been forced to review my choice of hosting services for all my blogs and websites, I also have learned that they have almost 10 points higher ratings than you and are a fraction of how much you charge.

    @HGSupport Once again, my dedicated server is down. Last time my sites were down for 4 days. I have yet to receive a reply from escalated support. Please fix this now.

    @HGSupport And I'm not able to login into my cPanel with my saved user credentials.

    Is Hostgator down for anyone? my sites are down all of the sudden and their support agent doesn't seem to find the issue.

  • HGSupport
    HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @dcodrea We know that popup looks sketchy, but it isn’t from your HostGator site; it’s a browser extension (Coupert) injecting coupon ads over your dashboard. Try incognito or another browser; if it’s gone, remove the extension. If not, support can help!

    @HGSupport How to you access the live chat support. It has been disabled for months now. All live chat support does is show you a list of "is this your problem" crap.

    @HostGator @HGSupport When will you fix your email hosting? You provide the worst service ever!
