  • pbinfinity Phillip Burger (@pbinfinity) reported

    Hi @HGSupport - is there an ongoing email issue? All email addresses on a client's domain are broken.

  • ReclaimMirth Garrett (@ReclaimMirth) reported

    You think #rugpulls are bad in the #NFT space? Just wait until EIG gets a hold your web hosting company! @HostGator Been a customer since 2009 and watched support and quality go off a CLIFF ever since. Have to complain on Twitter to get things done now!

  • abhishekdgeek Abhishek Jain (@abhishekdgeek) reported

    @HGSupport Sorry but I can't afford to waste my time with you. You broke my 2 years of trust. Downtime and downtime with 0 tech support. When raised for SLA breach the team said site is up right now.

  • graphicdesignme Michelle Buckley (@graphicdesignme) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator How do I get anyone to actually read & answer support issue w/out a copy & paste from a script? Same issue all month. unusual bandwidth activity, Gigs on SMTP, every single domain, only after a move to VPS through you. No increase in actual traffic.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @factory_400 @HostGator @wordpressdotcom Hello sorry to hear you are having issues. We would be happy to take look. Please send your primary domain name and Case ID, we are be happy to help.

  • ElsieWandera Elsie Wandera (@ElsieWandera) reported

    MOST painful experience with @HostGator Absolutely WORST support ever from @HGSupport Two months I have failed to get support for an issue - so simple

  • AyaBordany Aya bordany (@AyaBordany) reported

    @HostGator I have a problem with my account I subscribed but the domain is not working Please contact me it is very important

  • factory_400 factory400 (@factory_400) reported

    I need to move my website from @HostGator to anyone that is more reliable. Who does well with Wordpress sites? NOT looking for the cheapest, looking for reliability, support, and speed. PS: How hard is it to move a @wordpressdotcom site from one host to another?

  • BruceLiebknecht Bruce Liebknecht (@BruceLiebknecht) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Can you please fix your service. Things are on and off for two days already.

  • sudo_rmfv words, etc (@sudo_rmfv) reported

    @HGSupport are there widespread database errors or should I open a support ticket? All sites on my account are reporting intermittent database connection issues.

  • AbundantProTRNG Abundant HR Training (@AbundantProTRNG) reported

    Poor Customer service is reflected by the way you run your business! You get what you pay for! #Hostgator #Godaddy

  • boldbravemedia Bold Brave Media (@boldbravemedia) reported

    @HostGator Are your servers having issues tonight?

  • ReclaimMirth Garrett (@ReclaimMirth) reported

    @HGSupport I am glad that you are helping now, but I should not have to make 3 live chats before getting so upset that I take it to Twitter. There was a time when I opened help requests and expected the ppl helping to be more proficient than me. Now I'm surprised when that is the case.

  • GummoXXX Gummo (@GummoXXX) reported

    @HGSupport would love to see you guys get my account sorted out :( I've called your support twice, chatted with your support twice, all day mostly. still no resolution ...

  • GummoXXX Gummo (@GummoXXX) reported

    @newtonblade1 @HGSupport lol! I know dude, **** it, just hung up the can & spoke with CRash, we gunna start our own hosting company..

  • JormaOjo Jorma Ojo (@JormaOjo) reported

    @HostGator There have been several 500 server errors during past two weeks. Last one 3 hours ago. What is the reason and are there to be expected more of these?

  • virtualcolombia Virtualcolombia.Net (@virtualcolombia) reported

    @HostGator My website has been down for over an hour now.

  • PureElementsCo1 Pure Elements Consultancy Ltd (@PureElementsCo1) reported

    @fairfuture @HostGator I’ll be moving soon. Too many issues at this point…I’ve spent 4 days on issues. Fed up at this point…

  • DrTrue_CL Dr_True (@DrTrue_CL) reported

    @HostGator I have paid to renew my service and the website is still down...

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport I havent even had a chance to find a new host yet and they are already having more issues. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. NEVER EVER USE THIS CRAP HEAP OF A SERVICE! JUST DON'T - THEY ARE HORRIBLE.

  • GummoXXX Gummo (@GummoXXX) reported

    @HGSupport I still cannot login to my Cpanel, why did your company reset my password? I did not ask for that! I am at this point very angry at your company! You advertise support but you are not fixing my issue.

  • IBBoard IBBoard (@IBBoard) reported

    Reading the latest @LinuxFormat and I'm REALLY hoping that they're not turning into one of those "funded by dodgy web hosting money" outfits 😕 Digital Ocean gets a mention? Fair enough. But reviews every other issue? Including the over-sold trash heap of HostGator? 🤨

  • zimpeterw Peter Wright (@zimpeterw) reported

    @mitchellclong @HostGator Same problem on my websites on Saturday and Sunday.

  • ReidWalley Reid Walley (@ReidWalley) reported

    Big thanks to Carl Christian with @HostGator for the tech support!

  • joshfryer138 Josh Fryer (@joshfryer138) reported

    So, @HostGator, why do your support techs keep ghosting me? I'd love to get my site back up this century. 45 minutes to respond to a chat, you're killing' me! 😐

  • Pikointeractive PIKO (@Pikointeractive) reported

    @David_Leavitt We had a problem with hostgator's servers being hacked and some spammers injecting from hostgator popups etc. But its been address and site lock is running 24/7. You may have seen some of that right now if you have not cleared your cookies.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @jolynn @AskAmex @HostGator We take fraudulent charges very seriously. If you have already contacted live support and was provided with Case ID. Please send us a DM with that information and we would happy to take a look.

  • internetofcomp1 internetofcompliance (@internetofcomp1) reported

    @iamsouravj @hostgatorindia @HostGator Worst hosting service provider & support. Since 13 April 2022, my server is down due to backend errors Bcz of that my website is down & support team repeats the same line, "We totally understand your concern..

  • factory_400 factory400 (@factory_400) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @wordpressdotcom I am not sure I want to take the time to try......it's fiddly and slow all the time and I am launching a new product in a couple of weeks. I need a SOLID solution.

  • Paisano Doriano Paisano Carta (@Paisano) reported

    Looking for an alternative to Hostgator web hosting that includes malware scanning which Hostgator doesn't which is so lame. It has to support wordpress sites too.
