    @HGSupport Never mind, solved myself, but brazilian support of @HostGatorBrasil is the worst i ever had the unpleasure to deal with.

  • FisherJolly jolly fisher (@FisherJolly) reported

    @HGSupport Again, YOUR PROBLEM. Not mine. Fix your crappy systems. Leave me alone! Your incompetence is not my problem HostGator

  • nicolivesabroad Nico (@nicolivesabroad) reported

    @HGSupport “You can’t redirect your domains unless you have a cPanel. I recommend you to get in touch with your hosting provider” This is what Vinush from your customer service told me after noting I haven’t got a cPanel

  • _thiag0x Thiago M. (@_thiag0x) reported

    Hey @hostgator! Why da **** im cant't redirect my website in SSL ?????????????????

  • HAndrewV a (@HAndrewV) reported

    @HGSupport you're hosting a scam site that is selling dogs as a scam. Using my dogs photos specifically. You took down the site and it's up again, minus my dogs photo. What is going on???

  • VicHecha Vic Hecha (@VicHecha) reported

    @WilliamNOtis I would stay away from hostgator as well (as well as the 100s of EIG brands) they're notoriously bad. I moved clients over from godaddy and hostgator to a managed wordpress host and they can't believe how much faster things are.

  • FisherJolly jolly fisher (@FisherJolly) reported

    @HostGator STOP EMAILING ME STOP CALLING ME .... STOP HARRASSING ME! How many times do I have to say it? I haven’t used your service in YEARS! Leave me alone and stop trying to bill me for services you are NOT providing!

  • rebelpoetess_ 🗯 (@rebelpoetess_) reported

    @swer_alt @xsucculentx @AmberlyPSO Hey, heads up that I don’t think Wordpress is supporting SWer sites anymore. I’d recommend building and hosting on hostgator who allow SWers to use their service

  • RChabotte Richard Chabotte (@RChabotte) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator I just spoke with a gentleman as I called for the 4th time he was very good and helped. But there was a person by the name Chrystal horrible experience with her then at the end she wouldn’t hang up so I could get the survey she put me on hold for half hour.

  • HAndrewV a (@HAndrewV) reported

    @HostGator you're hosting a company that is scamming people out of thousands of dollars by selling them dogs that don't exist. Specifically my dog that they're using a photo of. We asked you to shut the website down, and now it's up again, minus our dogs photo. What is going on?

  • WarrenGrobler Warren Grobler (@WarrenGrobler) reported

    @HGSupport I have tried accessing the LiveChat function on the website for the past few days. It keeps loading a blank page. I need support with mu website. Please help!

  • TheoPlooij Theo Plooij (@TheoPlooij) reported

    @HGSupport You would have answered my emails to abuse and support if you took these cases seriously. @HGSupport

    @hostgatorindia #hostgator down

  • arvind00 arvind (@arvind00) reported

    @gonzalezdeb I have tried most of big names GoDaddy, Hostgator, bigrock... and they all are same. Customer services are the worst. But from last 2 years, I'm using on Hostinger. No downtime. You can try for ipage as well. If you need help with installation or design let me know.

  • ahmed_badran Ahmed Badran (@ahmed_badran) reported

    Imagine the feedback of your customers if your website went down for 5 days!! @HostGator sucks.

  • FisherJolly jolly fisher (@FisherJolly) reported

    @HGSupport stop emailing and harassing me for money... your threats of “service disruption” mean nothing to me seeing that I DON’T USE YOUR SERVICE! #harassment

  • FisherJolly jolly fisher (@FisherJolly) reported

    @HGSupport Your problem. Not mine. HOSTGATOR CHOOSING TO EXTORT PEOPLE WITH ONE WAY EMAIL IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I responded to the email YOU sent. You want to extort me over email and then claim you refuse to communicate over email? That is ****** UP! #extortionists

  • RoomResource The Resource Room (@RoomResource) reported

    @HGSupport Hi HG Support, I am in desperate need of you! Our site got hacked and I have NO access to my billing portal! I have been trying to get this done since 10:30am est with no luck, just promises of ticket escalations. Our site has a nasty malware and I need to get in ASAP

  • daenadurille Diego Escobedo (@daenadurille) reported

    @HostGator hey someone help me the technical support of Mexico does not answer and I have serious problems

  • SenOyeyemi Michael Oyeyemi (@SenOyeyemi) reported

    @HGSupport @HGSupport what is happening to your site. I really need help with my domain.

  • MelodyKush 🌸Mel Kush🌸 #stopSISEA (@MelodyKush) reported

    @TheEmiliaSong Ooooh is mass emailng a service hostgator offers? I have a database of emails I collected elsewhere. My new wordpress site is forever under construction (baby stages atm), but I am with hostgator, and will be needing to send out like 2k emails at once

  • RChabotte Richard Chabotte (@RChabotte) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator Then back in the queue so I would hang up and not get the survey

  • ChrisEOlive 𝙲𝚑𝚛𝚒𝚜 𝙾𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎 (@ChrisEOlive) reported

    @HostGator using only #chat or #telephone for support is positively 15th century and is probably the end of our relationship. I can't just open a ticket or send an email? No one has time to hang out on chat for a simple request or the telephone of all things. #CXfail

  • SenOyeyemi Michael Oyeyemi (@SenOyeyemi) reported

    @HostGator @HostGator why is your live chat not working. I really need help with my domain.

  • blackbettyblog Elizabeth BB de Moya (@blackbettyblog) reported

    Your entire support section is down! The links go nowhere! @HostGator

  • ericsd05 Mr E! (@ericsd05) reported from Dallas, Texas

    @HGSupport why is your website down? Need to pay my bill but can’t access website or live chat help.

  • Captain_Faraday Martin Nixon (@Captain_Faraday) reported

    @HGSupport I'm trying to log into my billing portal but I've forgotten my password. When I request an email to reset it, the email never arrives. It says if that happens to use Live Chat - but I need my password to use Live Chat! Please help!

  • daenadurille Diego Escobedo (@daenadurille) reported

    @HGSupport hey someone help me the technical support of Mexico does not answer and I have serious problems

  • EspiKvlt 🖤🩸 Black Metal Vampyre 🩸🖤 (@EspiKvlt) reported

    @RGC_BPPA Okay I figured out what I misunderstood and luckily WordPress gave me a refund lol Starting over now with HostGator, thank y'all so much for the help.

  • wpmedic WordPress Medic (@wpmedic) reported

    @RoomResource @HGSupport Were they able to help or are you still waiting? HostGator usually upsells SiteLock service to clean up malware from our experience.
