    @HGSupport Can i get some help. have been reaching you for two months now, but nothing!

  • joshmobleymusic Josh Mobley Music ⚡️ (@joshmobleymusic) reported

    I have to say, @HostGator has really let me down. 2 500 internal errors and terrible tech support that leave you sitting there on live chat. I have been patient, polite, and forthcoming but they just can't seem to solve my issues. Because of this, I STILL don't have a website.

  • Beruud Jay Zippo (@Beruud) reported

    @mediatemple I should of left you guys a long time ago. I have my 12 other sites on Hostgator, & I was lazy with my main site. You fail at email hosting, changed MX records. Now I was told my ONLY site with u is down, why? You changed permissions without my knowledge. You suck.

  • MacMaso27508542 MacMason (@MacMaso27508542) reported

    I'm not a server guy. My understanding of servers is at a hobby level. So when I called @HostGator @HGSupport last night because ALL my websites went down they were very helpful. (I used to teach customer service for support teams so this is high praise) #webhosting

  • Mommaforreal Shadee (@Mommaforreal) reported

    @HGSupport is anything going on with your servers now? Can’t login.

  • Cycle7Comms Cycle7Comms (@Cycle7Comms) reported

    Every time I call Hostgator tech support, the hold Muzak lingers in my mind for hours afterwards.

  • 4Landeros Marco (@4Landeros) reported

    @HostGator In Gastor I tried the service for 1 month and I liked it later before the 2nd invoice was due, I changed the plan from monthly to annual and paid the annual one. Now they send me mail that my service has been suspended for non-payment. I want my services Rigth Now!!!.

  • tanejapankaj Pankaj Taneja (@tanejapankaj) reported from Hilversum, Provincie Noord-Holland

    @hostgatorindia @Hari_Ravi_ Thanks for reply on my message, the increase price should be charged to new customer with new plans ... not on the plans being already sold... anyhow the plans we have purchased is for 3 year, Hostgator will have an opportunity to revise price on my plan after complete of 3 years

  • PressHotSpot Green Politics Lol⚡️👀🔥 (@PressHotSpot) reported

    Everything was a complaint in the old days Hostgator was saying I was taking up too much of their bandwidth and shut me down. There was a issue of me needing to pay a few thousand dollars a month just so I could run my site or I was being forced to leave. Lol

  • CAM2Go michael t. colorge (@CAM2Go) reported

    @HGSupport is there some login issues right now with the portal?

  • clarowl Clarence P. Cameron (@clarowl) reported

    @HGSupport On March 2nd, I asked your robot lady about uploading files. She is a lousy typist or a boldfaced liar. Fire her! After my experience with her, i called your help line. I will say that the woman, who helped me with my problem, was excellent! Give her a raise!

  • nongeekboy Marius Adrian (@nongeekboy) reported

    While upgrading the server to PHP 7.3, @HostGator somehow disabled the mysqli module. After more than 48 hours and 8 interactions with the customer support the module is still disabled and my eshop is still down. Thank you @HostGator and @HGSupport #hosting #HostingInfo

  • amitksi Amit Singh (@amitksi) reported

    What a support that Hostgator India is not able to solve a IP blacklist issue from last 1 month support team does not have any answer @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia case id - 29650582

  • shuhood_elly Shuhood (@shuhood_elly) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @HGIndia it’s been over 5 days your support team has been keeping our company form been able to use emails. They say dedicated team handles win server & the support services are unable to check. Win team is so dedicated after 5 days still it’s not working

  • El_Tapahocicos Eusebio (@El_Tapahocicos) reported

    best customer service staff is in @hostgator, period.

  • AnthonyFisher20 Tony The Fish (@AnthonyFisher20) reported

    @HGSupport I’ve been on with support twice and nothing has been done. Stop scamming your own customers

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @amitksi @HostGator @HGSupport Hi Amit, our Support team has sent you an update via Case ID: 29650582. Please do check the email and respond there if you have more queries.

  • clarowl Clarence P. Cameron (@clarowl) reported

    @HGSupport On the 28th, I called your support line. The woman who answered knew nothing about websites. I asked some questions about uploading files, and she told me I should check my index.html. After ten minutes, I told her that she was no help and I politely ended the call.

  • KatKlaw 18-wheel ****** bastard (@KatKlaw) reported

    @HGSupport soooo it appears my site is broken, throwing SQL errors, having issues accessing the help system.

  • karan_gadhavi Karan Gadhavi (@karan_gadhavi) reported

    @HGSupport can't believe you don't have ticket/email support? You only provide phone and chat support which is down.

  • StevenSeril STEVEN SERIL- "Destroyer of Worlds" is on Amazon! (@StevenSeril) reported

    @selfpubwithdale All I know is that when I cancelled my Hostgator account years ago, the poor cute little blue alligator was crying and I felt so bad!

  • MaianeDesigner Maiane Gabriele (@MaianeDesigner) reported

    Or @WordPress is super slow recently or @HostGator haha Sorry, I'm just a designer, but one of you is really into a bad timing recently... haha

  • jockm **** Murphy (@jockm) reported

    @HGSupport Please stop with the stupid ads, especially the one mocking a dog. All they make me want to do is never consider you

  • ImDhananjay22 Dhananjay Chaudhary (@ImDhananjay22) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia I purchased web hosting on 28 Feb 2021 with invoice ID 8110709. My order is not processed yet. For this concern I called on your helping number but didn't get any help.

  • CircleBackBtch JJ Rogers (@CircleBackBtch) reported

    @HostGator Seriously, so beyond irritated. I'm told that I can't expect your products to work by your own tech support; that it's my problem to fix coding errors in your templates, give me a break. It must be industry standard to screw your customers.

  • lifefrance The Good Life France (@lifefrance) reported

    @HGSupport And here we are again. Same issue. I just sent you another message

  • umerparvaiz Umer Parvaiz (@umerparvaiz) reported

    Hi @HGSupport, I have been requesting restoration service for a hosting which was accidentally deleted by your billing. its been 3 days, and i am going around in circles with zero clarity on timeline. Case ID: 30115038

  • AnthonyFisher20 Tony The Fish (@AnthonyFisher20) reported

    What service provider wants my business? @HGSupport 2 shut downs of my account inside of 2 weeks for the SiteLock scam. There is no ftp or content on the site you mentioned in your poor attempt of a scam. That’s enough for me. #scammedbyhostgator #enoughisenough

  • CircleBackBtch JJ Rogers (@CircleBackBtch) reported

    @HostGator I'm beyond fed up with your crap products. I have had no luck with your tech support. I wonder how much money I have lost because your products don't function half the time...
