    @tyummk87 No! We track the different platforms they use to register their scam websites. They went from Namecheap, to Ionos to HostGator. All of these registrar have collaborated with us to shut down the websites after investigation. But with s Chinese Registrar its another story.

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator is fooling the people by selling their third grade hosting services I am feeling stucked by paying then what I can do help me @ravisankarprashad

  • ME_brainspatter MarLena Ninaboo Moonhead (@ME_brainspatter) reported

    @HGSupport I appreciate the inquiry but I think after 7+ attempts with several diffrent Support staff members over 3 months and the main response being, 'do I want to uninstall or reinstall wordpress?' Well, there is just nothing you can do for me.

  • mr_ladshaab Mr Ladshaab (@mr_ladshaab) reported from Milton Keynes, England

  • dnprotect dnprotect (@dnprotect) reported

    @enom @HostGator We will send you a DM. There is actually already an eNom support ticket. We understand that the eNom support rep literally asked the domain name thief if it was OK to transfer the domains back to the rightful owner. Of course the domain name thief said NO. #domains

  • bandbreviewsit bandbreviewsit (@bandbreviewsit) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Right now I am so disappointed with you. After years of being a customer, I was just hung up on, lied to and mocked by your rep Shomo (supposed to be manager). I was promised a service that you are now saying you don’t offer and now being left on my own.

    @HostGator My site is down. And you don't answer your phone with competent people.

  • HostGator HostGator (@HostGator) reported

    @EliFlinc @EliFlinc Hey there a simple DNS search shows that this websites emails are hosted at Hostinger not HostGator, so you may want to reach out to them regarding this issue as we would have no control over a site they host.
