  • Bryan_FS_Dev Bryan Huffstutler (@Bryan_FS_Dev) reported

    Just found out HostGator doesn't support Node.js apps through their cPanel, unless of course you pay for the VPS which is another $900/year...after the first year. Is it just me or does that sound ridiculous? Or am I just cheap?

  • StooCollins $too (@StooCollins) reported

    Looks like @HostGator are having a load of issues... mail down, web down, control panels down...

    @HGSupport my website has been infected off & on 4 2 months. Host Gator blames it on me. If I got in UR car & got bit up by mosquitoes, is it my fault or your fault for leaving your windows open? Been maintaining websites 4 over 20 yrs. Have NEVER had this problem!

    The problem gets solved one month before hosting expiry but as I renew my hosting problen gets started again. I am sure that the hostgator team is creating this issue to upsell their malware scan service. @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia
