  • Shattered_Honor Nox - Shattered Honor (@Shattered_Honor) reported

    Just subscribed to Hostgator to get WordPress. Looks like I will be busy with web migration for a while now. Getting annoyed with the limitations of Blogger. On a side note, starting my new job this week. Sorry if my progress is slow!

    @pompompur_in @killedwrz Skid Forums is no more a thing, I stopped it yesterday.I made an announcement on my discord, and anyways **** you , I don't use hostgator and you know it

  • zomgary Gary M💀rin (@zomgary) reported

    @HGSupport I... very clearly understand that, I was referring to the website mentioned in a Tweet. I understand social media support is a thing, but jumping into conversations between users (and without fully understanding the context) is not the way way to do it.

  • ejiroesiri Omo (@ejiroesiri) reported

    @HostGator I dont think you will ever meet a deadline if you cant get help configuring your ssl cert from your hosting provider

  • muzkmuzkmuzk MUZK 黒い雨。BLACK RAIN。 (@muzkmuzkmuzk) reported

    @HostGator hey we are trying to log into our site but keep getting locked out, we have the password and login but i think its blocking us because we are logging in from a different computer than the email?

    Looks like #hostgator is down?

  • Thayne_williams Thayne Williams Photography (@Thayne_williams) reported

    @JensNotaryStamp @HostGator I am having this issue

  • BreezeCrypto breeze (@BreezeCrypto) reported

    @OVHcloud_US I've been a client of OVH for over a decade and have been reselling services of OVH on and off for several years with no issues; until I started rendering services in the new "OVHUS" Datacenter. OVHUS is NOTHING like @OVHcloud it is NOT an infrastructure provider, its hostgator.

  • lrfdev LRF 👩🏽‍💻 (@lrfdev) reported

    Literally every time I’ve tried to make a payment with @hostgator, there’s a random error but I still get charged. Called my bank and they said that either @HostGator has to send an email saying the payment was not made (which they won’t do bc of the errors, there’s no invoice)..

  • feliasdesigns Felias Designs (@feliasdesigns) reported

    Cloud165 of @HostGator is currently down. We are talking with their service support right now.

  • tanujnotes Tanuj (@tanujnotes) reported

    @JacksonCamp99 I usually buy from Hostgator or Namecheap for around 15 dollars per domain per year, which is a decent amount is Indian rupees. The worst part is, I've barely used any domain out of 20+ I bought in last few years.

  • KundanS50718664 Kundan Singh (@KundanS50718664) reported

    @Ashwanichy1996 @hostgatorindia @HostGator Agree. Worst hosting service

  • maxwellivey Maxwell Ivey (@maxwellivey) reported

    @payown Hey Michael; Could use some help pointing a GoDaddy site at Hostgator. I found the DNS info, but it appears I entered it wrong. Thought you could clear it up for me. Thanks, Max

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @lrfdev @HostGator We hate that you think that. Send us a DM with your account's billing email if there's something we can help you with.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @tehseenkhan009 @HostGator Hello Tehseen. I'm sorry about your security concerns. If you don't mind, can you dm us the domain name so we can confirm with you all where the problem lies? -Darren.

  • Ashwanichy1996 Ashwani (@Ashwanichy1996) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator @HGSupport Disappointed with your service. My server is infected with malware and you guys are unresponsive. I am asking for server scan since last 2 days but not getting any response.

  • IainMuir007 Iain Muir #BNTRise (@IainMuir007) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport REF: #36418884 and #36415531 My website has now been down for 3 days and I am not receiving a very good service from Hostgator in getting the issues resolved. Can someone please fix the problems highlighted in the above 2 references? Thank you.

  • MadmanTomas Tomás Madman (@MadmanTomas) reported

    @HostGator is the cpanel down?

  • JensNotaryStamp Notary of the 'Ville (@JensNotaryStamp) reported

    @HostGator Yeah, well, apparently nothing good happens at 2 PM either; care to explain why your login page has a 403 Access Denied pop up?

  • xC2H4O2x Geoffrey Sassafrass (@xC2H4O2x) reported

    @hgsupport absolutely horrible customer service, case # 36259236 opened today, no response after 8 hrs, issue exists for 5 days, support chat results in endless excuses. If you want good customer service, stay away from hostgator for your webhosting needs!

  • feliasdesigns Felias Designs (@feliasdesigns) reported

    "The Cloud server is currently under security and performance update which cause the website and server issue. No worries, this is temporary only and the server will be up and running again within an hour or two. We apologize for inconvenience." --@HostGator

  • lrfdev LRF 👩🏽‍💻 (@lrfdev) reported

    Overall highly disappointed with every aspect of service I’ve gotten from @HostGator

  • egcerritos Enrique Guerrero (@egcerritos) reported

    @HostGator I am learning to plan my week BEFORE is starts. I have a bad habit of going with other people's flow.

  • NaderAhmad Nader Ahmad Dommar (@NaderAhmad) reported

    @Jukka4Life @HostGator I have the same problem.

  • TheJustinArnold Justin Arnold (@TheJustinArnold) reported

    @HostGator have taken all of my websites and email down for 'maintenance' in the middle of the day, without any warning at all, and say they should only be 'a few hours'.... definitely looking at switching to a new hosting provider. Any recommendations anyone?

  • EgoRecreational Recreational Ego Death (@EgoRecreational) reported

    @Kingsmob2 @im_just_laur My parents paid for the hosting on, like, hostgator after 2002 and I don't know who before. I made mine in HoTMetaL with a combination of wysiwig editing and rudimentary HTML programming. It wasn't very good, but it wasn't awful, either.

  • TheJustinArnold Justin Arnold (@TheJustinArnold) reported

    @HostGator has decided to do some server maintenance, taking all of my websites and email offline without any warning for an unspecified period of time, in the middle of the working day..... Great thinking, just what we needed. Tech support have no idea how long it will take.

  • KeithBurgin Keith Burgin (@KeithBurgin) reported

    @HostGator HostGator sucks.

  • xC2H4O2x Geoffrey Sassafrass (@xC2H4O2x) reported

    @HGSupport Tia helped and spent over an hour to resolve my issue, Thank you Tia! She was successful when 5 other support agents failed to resolve.

  • iamashar1986 Ashar (@iamashar1986) reported

    @wpbeginner I have had good experience with @HostGator and used them for 2 yrs with no down time plus the tech support had been super helpful.
