  • FollowTheLeedr Lee Evans (@FollowTheLeedr) reported

    @HostGator Your .portal is down! Not good for a hosting company to have their own sites down. @HGSupport How can I expect you to fix my issues if you can't fix your own??

  • galactic_rat_ rat festival in hell (@galactic_rat_) reported

    @TobyTheFeer hostgator coming back to haunt me for all those offensive websites i made with their free service when i was 15

  • apougher apougher (@apougher) reported

    In 2014 our #HostGator production server was hacked. We lost many clients. Your solution was to offer a VPS. This system failed in December & you now tell us this VPS was never managed. We have a big privacy issue & this has been on your desk since December ‘20. @NewfoldDigital

  • rachelmhowe Rachel Howe (@rachelmhowe) reported

    Anyone here familiar with DNS settings? How can a site just be pointed and then not pointed to a host? I switched my isn't from HostGator to mine (Flywheel) and support said the DNS settings were not pointing to Flywheel.

  • subrayamallya Subraya Mallya 😷💉 (@subrayamallya) reported

    .@HGSupport - what is the way for me to check on a particular ticket logged by one of your support analysts on my behalf? I have a dedicated server. 12 hours since the ticket was logged, I have not got any updates.

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator @HGSupport Issue is still there and you are redirecting me there but I am.not getting solution, so posting here not by choice but no option left

  • _cupofbri Barely Bri-thing (@_cupofbri) reported

    @HGSupport Respectfully, you guys do this every single time. My DM‘s consists of back-and-forth with y’all about this website. What was the point of me paying the money if my website is consistently down.

    @HostGator multiple calls in 48 hours website still down and just keep getting the run around, @GoDaddy is the better company and customer service to work with, at least they get your website back up instead of the run around

    @HostGator Since I upgraded from my shared server to a VPS server I have been having issues with it. I receive emails saying I have malwares on one of the sites, still you deactivate all my 34 sites and it is really annoying because my sites need to be working all the time. Need a solution.

    @HGSupport ...and your support has failed to help me or reply to my 5 emails to give access back to me. All of my websites are suspended just because I used my so-called unlimited web hosting to upload files that I don't have a backup of. I NEED YOUR REPLY ASAP & I need my files!

    @HGSupport You have suspended my account because I had uploaded 137 GB of video files. You didn't give me a chance to download my files before suspending me. Now I don't have access to my cpanel or FTP. I NEED my files back! I have called your support 5 times and emailed 5 times!
