Autark (@Aut4rk) reported@process_eli I went to school for my assosciate's in applied sciences for computer programming & analysis way back in 2002. I quit a semester later and got a job as a remote L3 sysadmin for HostGator. They wanted me to learn Java before C++. **** that.

James W (@NightRaven1969) reported@HostGator there is something going on with the Canadian sites. My servers have been down all day. I think it has to do with blacklisting. Been trying to get answers from host gator all day and they will not give the truth. Canadians that have lost today contact me

coltswalker (@coltswalker) reportedHostGator is a terrible web hosting and email company. Even though I prepaid, they deactivated my account months ago. I have not used them since. Now I am getting invoices telling me I am past due! I cancelled months ago!!! #scam #HostGator #webhosting
-
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.

Kimberly K Absher (@kkabsherwrites) reported@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.

CENSORED BY T!!TTER (@PeterVadala) reported@HostGator @HostGator or anyone out there can you verify this is actually #Hostgator before we attempt to do tech support via #X instead of over the phone

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62MEDIA #CES #NFLDRAFT #SDCC (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @HGSupport Vinayak is playing games with me. HG admins know how to update the SSL Certificate, but he acts like he can't do it and will not get help. I asked him to get a supervisor. He will not.

Michele Elliston (@micheleelliston) reported@HostGator is there a problem with customer service? I've been waiting for ages just to get someone to help me.
-
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
-
FastCow.com (@fastcowhosting) reported@HGSupport Ouch, looks like we hit a nerve. Maybe if you guys replied to him quicker like you tweeted us instead of having him cry for help for 7 days might do the trick? Just 2 cents from us ;)
-
Kimberly K Absher (@kkabsherwrites) reported@HostGator It’s super straightforward. Cancel the Titan email, make sure it doesn’t auto-renew and REFUND the charge.
-
John Anthony (@johnanthony33) reportedAfter 23 years of being a customer of @HostGator they recently deleted/lost all database content for 4 sites during a hosting renewal. In an attempt to get a refund I got a runaround from with 3 different companies including #BlueHost and #Network Solutions. No refund yet.

Mehmet (@mettersoy) reportedHostGator support eventually confirmed it: “All outbound connections are blocked.” Yes. The server could not make outbound HTTPS requests (port 443). If you’re a dev, you already know: That breaks EVERYTHING.
-
Dayna | Startups & Growth | #AI (@dayna12121) reported@voytekbereza @HostGator Support quality matters just as much as uptime and pricing. Hoping this gets addressed quickly. Would appreciate an update from the team soon.

Nathan young (@nathanyoung26) reportedWe’re moving to @HostGator — they actually pick up the phone. A website host should support your business, not sink it.

Brian Modansky (@BrianModansky) reportedWired, and Revenue magazine. Later on HostGator got a deal with Google to parter and offer free hosting with the ability to sign up for Free Hosting in Google’s India region. I was put in charge of theming the control panel. Google promoted it and it got 140,000 sign ups in the first month. Later on my friend sold the company for $300,000,000. When it sold my buddy promised me that he would buy me a house and I would have a good payout and I would be able to work with him as a non profit building water wells to people in need. Later when I thought I would get millions he only gave me $130,000 and then moved several hours out of town in the middle of no where on a big ranch. I was very mad at him at the time because not just because I didn’t get millions of dollars like my other friends who I helped start the company with but the $130,000 I couldn’t buy a home. I was contracted to help stay at the company for a year and help transition to the new ownership. I stayed and instead of having to answer to just the founder I all of a sudden had a whole ladder of executives above me telling me what I should work on instead of having the creative freedom to direct myself. Then the downsizing started to occur. The new ownership layed off entire departments of people to outsource their work to 3rd party companies. I saw all my friends get fired and they did this to improve their numbers because they were planning on bringing the company

Alex | Vibe Coder (@AlexVibeCode) reported@ChristianNFocus @HostGator That’s the worst kind of billing hit — not just expensive, but disconnected from actual usage.
-
King Stanky (@TheKingOfStank) reported@MichaelFKane Time to set up your domain on a proxy that redirects traffic to a bunch of different services, 1 amazon, 1 hostgator, 1 idk something else. Then have them load distribute based on availability. You can never be too safe.
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @grok do you know why HostGator now closes its offices rather than give 24-hour support, unlike they sed to ?

Kudehinbu Oluwaponle (@koluwaponle) reported@HostGator @HGSupport I requested using the money to cover cost of my existing snappy VPS, your support refused. They insisted on refunds, they tried refunding to my naira card, it failed and I told them to refund to my dollar card, they promised to do so but never did
