    @HostGator You want my websites.. @hostinger does not.. They currently have them.. Yet I can not get any support as to an email issue.. @bluehost does not They will not answer the phone..

  • BrandBillboard BrandBillboard (@BrandBillboard) reported

    @HGSupport, Your business hosting plan support is a royal mess and an exercise in frustration. I will no longer recommend it to anyone and regret doing so for my clients. And your chatbot is ridiculous - repeats the same drivel over and over.

  • dantediakos Danté Diákos Fillyau (@dantediakos) reported

    Been over 24 hours and @HGSupport still hasn’t fixed the server issues. Literally was on the phone with the tech and they see the problems and getting ignored by higher up techs.

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA INC #CES2023 (@Zen62com) reported

    Is anyone having a problem with HostGator service today? I am really disappointed in @HGSupport right now.

  • YandrakirtashCR Yandrakirtash (@YandrakirtashCR) reported

    I had to open multiple support tickets and I was told the admins will contact me, no one did. Now im trying to open a live chat with support and it just reloads the page? Are you kidding me? @HGSupport @HostGator

  • LGBImpeachBiden LetsGoBrandon (@LGBImpeachBiden) reported

    @HostGator you're tech support sucks, you all should have never singed a contract with newfold, their agents are as dumb as rocks that cant do anything beyond reset a password and try to upsell. Go back to inhouse techs taking chats and calls!

  • lorenphotos Loren Fisher (@lorenphotos) reported

    Stay away from HostGator, the worst website hosting company

    @HGSupport My websites consistently go off or do not load with your servers!! I’ve called multiple times and will be put on hold for up to a hour speaking to someone for 1 minute then told to they will get a specialist on the line which they never do! Someone needs to help

  • dantediakos Danté Diákos Fillyau (@dantediakos) reported

    @HGSupport You already have the ticket number. Still more than 24 hours later I’ll I got was if I want to cancel service link. In which intend on doing after this poor customer service. Give me a few days to move my sites.

  • dantediakos Danté Diákos Fillyau (@dantediakos) reported

    @HGSupport You’ve had an escalated support tech that seems to not resolve the issue. At this point if it’s not resolved by 8am I’m completely moving the site and try not to lose the client

  • BalconyMR Jim Sullivan (@BalconyMR) reported

    Was left on hold with @HostGator support for more than an hour. Seems to be a thing. They can't figure something out and the tech ghosts you.

  • gabygalaxyxx Gaby Galaxy (@gabygalaxyxx) reported

    @datemialaurent I used hostgator and WordPress but I didn't like hostgator support at all. They're adult friendly though and cheap for the first few years if you pay up front that wasn't for a work website though it was for a blog

  • moseskinuthia18 moses kinuthia (@moseskinuthia18) reported

    @HGSupport 4 to 6 weeks are over and your support is blocking seems this scam is real they did not refund

    @HostGator @HGSupport after 15 plus years of being a constant client it’s time for my companies to leave. I’ve had more issues with this vps then law should allow. Aftern Memorial Day you will be refunding all my money.

  • madeyudana Made Yudana (@madeyudana) reported

    @HGSupport our VPS server was down since morning and this not first time - your support team so slow

  • BuzzTravelBlog Buzzin’ Around the World (@BuzzTravelBlog) reported

    Thanks @HostGator for fixing my server issues and speeding up my website. Your chat agents spent hours helping me. My website went from a GT Metrix F ranking to an A ranking. Glad I use #hostgator. @HGSupport

  • charafmrah Charaf Mrah (@charafmrah) reported

    @terroirartisans Hostinger used to be terrible but seems like they got better in the last 2 years from ppl recommending them. Hostgator is mid at best but at least they have good support compared to other big providers.

  • channelforbus ChannelForbus (@channelforbus) reported

    @ethanjaack Oh I been found better hosting. It’s up to @HostGator to actually do their due dillegende and offer two factor authentication for their own website and not rely on your own means to protect their **** and hire people that give a damn. They used to be good. It’s over for them

  • Zen62com Zennie Abraham CEO ZENNIE62MEDIA INC #CES2023 (@Zen62com) reported

    Ok @HGSupport I tell your helper I installed a rate limit and how to get around it and he runs from the chat. HostGator is really acting bad.
