  • AzaleaCreation2 Azalea Creations (@AzaleaCreation2) reported

    @HGSupport Hostgator chat is not working and I need help!

  • sumitgvyas Sumit Vyas (@sumitgvyas) reported

    @officialskgupta @HGSupport @hostgatorindia They are not going to resolve the issue for you. Their hosting goes down every day at least twice by default. Hostgator India is one of the worst hosting possible. I am chasing them for the last 2 months. No solution till now.

  • XaviNoWoke Xavi Fiu Fiu™ (@XaviNoWoke) reported

    HOSTGATOR @HostGator If you are not going to give me the service for which I paid, then return the money

  • ShoppersWing3 Vandita Tiwari (@ShoppersWing3) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport The site goes down randomly, the support says, its some internal error. BUt I loose business this way

  • DoubtNQuestion Progressively Disgusted Elizabeth (@DoubtNQuestion) reported

    @HGSupport If it's so crucial why does your dept make such gross errors? It's not a virtual or prepaid card. It's a physical American Express card. How can I work with the incompetence when I don't feel comfortable disclosing more info to a Co. that can't get something that basic right?

  • XaviNoWoke Xavi Fiu Fiu™ (@XaviNoWoke) reported

    @HostGator Hello, I bought one of your plans and the domain that I prepaid was not assigned to me. Your technicians just tell me to wait and don't solve my problem.

  • MetaphysicalPI MysticInvestigations (@MetaphysicalPI) reported

    Is there a #hosting service that actually would like us to sign up & pay them money?! @HostGator couldn't even set up our account so we canceled. Now @ionos_com can even complete a Paypal transaction without an error for a dedicated server. The host search continues...

  • luke_ndifon Ndifon Luke💻🔌 (@luke_ndifon) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport is the worst hosting platform. I bought a new domain with them and next thing is my account is suspended for no reason. Disgusting

  • DomainPluto DomainPluto (@DomainPluto) reported

    @HostGator We have plenty of websites on your hosting that’s not working and are being redirected. Unfortunately we can’t get through to your “support”. We will be moving from you soon.

  • NANHEGUJRAL Nanhe Gujral (@NANHEGUJRAL) reported

    One of the worst service till date from @HostGator Every second day our website is down... made a very bad decision..

  • prodigal_nelson Nel (@prodigal_nelson) reported

    Remember, never never buy web spaces from @GoDaddy , 30 mins and no one answers chat and even the calls. Itne mein i made khichdi, kahwa, and even watched a saas bahu episode.. Go for @HostGator

  • XaviNoWoke Xavi Fiu Fiu™ (@XaviNoWoke) reported

    Hi @HostGator when I asked you about the characteristics of your services, responded quickly. Now that I have purchased them and I have problems, do not attend me.

  • navijith Vijith Nair (@navijith) reported

    @sumitgvyas @HostGator @hostgatorindia My website is down since morning and its been 4 hours now ... not not up at all

  • XaviNoWoke Xavi Fiu Fiu™ (@XaviNoWoke) reported

    @HGSupport I already did everything you asked, the domain is still free in Whois and I still can't use my hosting. And I've already wasted a lot of time talking to support so they always tell me that they can't do anything.

  • ETherapeuticsMD Electro-Therapeutics (@ETherapeuticsMD) reported

    @HostGator please respond to my DM and fix your issue. Seriously, I though you guys were Pros?!

  • navijith Vijith Nair (@navijith) reported

    @HostGator Yeah because most of the time hostgator is down

  • Stone007 Stone Stafford (@Stone007) reported

    @HostGator what’s going on over there? Why do I keep getting errors on receiving and sending emails. I have Gmail, Yahoo and AOL accounts and none of them are failing. Only my 3 HostGator accounts. @HGSupport

  • valenzze Jorge Valencia (@valenzze) reported

    Hey @HostGator more than 24 hours and your team dont fix my ticket, this is unacceptable. 😩

  • chsweb jono (@chsweb) reported

    @elyktrix For small biz marketing sites Namecheap (inexpensive, flexible, don’t recommmend, it is a bit confusing due to poorly organized support content, but live chat is good) or HostGator (pretty great for cost). If things get big, would move to SiteGround, but overkill for most.

  • sumitgvyas Sumit Vyas (@sumitgvyas) reported

    @NANHEGUJRAL @HostGator Same here. The site goes down everyday. And they will give a generic response. Pathetic service.

  • sumitgvyas Sumit Vyas (@sumitgvyas) reported

    @prakash384220 @hostgatorindia Agree. Their hosting goes down every day at least twice by default. Hostgator India is one of the worst hosting possible. I am chasing them for the last 2 months for this issue. No solution till now.

  • sumitgvyas Sumit Vyas (@sumitgvyas) reported

    @Sameeh_Azam @HostGator @hostgatorindia is the worst possible hosting. All my sites go down at least twice a day without fail. and that too for more than 30 minutes.

  • JohnPullum John Pullum (@JohnPullum) reported

    @HostGator It's bad when you call tech support and their phone connections aren't working well. I'm hearing every other word. I called back and got the same person with the same bad connection. No, it's not my connection because I hear the automated portion just fine. #hostgator

  • luke_ndifon Ndifon Luke💻🔌 (@luke_ndifon) reported

    @HostGator is one of the worst hosting platforms

  • Sleaklight Sleak (@Sleaklight) reported

    @HGSupport last night I tried getting in touch with support regarding websites with malware in my account yet after an hour wait, couldn't get a hold of anyone in live chat, where can we open a ticket? It's been a while since I've used support and can't find that option.

  • digitizeinfosys Digitize Info System (@digitizeinfosys) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport This is 3rd day I am trying to renew my domain and I have no options loading. Your team is really working behind the issue? #hostgator #support

  • Sameeh_Azam A. Sami (@Sameeh_Azam) reported

    @HostGator Services are down again.

  • nogracenocase 4 Skee F💕💚 (@nogracenocase) reported

    Hey @HostGator does your customer service exist? Do you have reps that actually know what they’re doing?! This is ridiculous.
