  • St3llard Stellar (@St3llard) reported

    If your gonna use a hosting company, never use Hostgator or any other subsidiaries of Newfold Digital. Worst hosting company. Outsources customer service to script readers. No redundancies. Your website/apps could be down days without any help or response.

  • ReaLovelyWriter MyLovelyWriter 🦄🧚‍♀️🧝🏻‍♀️🖊📚🌸 (@ReaLovelyWriter) reported

    Heads up again! We may be expecting another downtime for the website. Apparently, Hostgator ran into issues last time so they were unable to migrate the server to their new data center. 😭 Downtime may happen anytime between August 19 - 22. Minimum 30min and max 2hrs.

    @HostGator @HGSupport I was told my database was deleted and I need to redo my website. Are you serious!!! There has to be a better way to manage my business sites. Where the problem, sitelock or hostgator? Companies moved the world to cloud Its been challenge to manage.

  • WealthProfits Flav | Digital Creator (@WealthProfits) reported

    Anyone use @SiteGround for their hosting?? I am thinking of switching from @HostGator due to many problems and they want to charge me to fix the problems

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @DevonEllington Word of caution: Bluehost and HostGator are part of one of the worst hosting conglomerates to ever exist. Friends don't let friends use bad providers. If anyone recommends them...they're usually paid affiliates. Buyer beware!

  • worldfax Mario Rivera (@worldfax) reported

    @HGSupport my dedicated server is getting a license error. WHM Cpanel webmail and emails clients are not working. I can’t get support on the phone. Chat is useless. They say they do not have the tools to fix the issue.

  • askwpgirl Angela Bowman (@askwpgirl) reported

    Another site moved off of HostGator. Site was going down 10+x per day due to server issues for several days. Three strikes, you're out.

    Don't buy @hostgatorindia products. Very worst servers and support team. Don't buy and regret. We have a dedicated server with them, we are facing lot of issues more than a month. Still they can't able to fix. #worstsupport #hostgator

  • tweet3993 Divya Shah (@tweet3993) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator, Really bad idea choosing hosting plan for 3 years from Hostgator for hosting... No hosting company is as bad and as du*b than this, they are solving issues since past few months.

    @HostGator Good morning, I don't recommend it, they couldn't fix it, they canceled everything, I took more damage because of that bastard Rafael, I lost my company and almost my life.

  • splatteredink Darryl T. Jones (@splatteredink) reported

    @oxign @HostGator We ended up down for a little less than 48 hours. We are going to find a new host soon.

    @HostGator @HGSupport I am terribly dissatisfied with the support I have been getting at hostgator. My 2 sites have been constantly attacked with malware. I have tried everything, upgraded plan, moved to sitelock, backed up sites and nothing. 1/

  • angelacatkins Angela Atkins (@angelacatkins) reported

    @HostGator your support tech broke my entire website and took down another domain. Apparently, customer service is a thing of the past and technical support is an oxymoron. Where are the supervisors or escalation team?

  • gogogadgetguy GoGoGadgetGuy (@gogogadgetguy) reported

    @HostGator this company sucks ***

  • SetraHosting SetraHost (@SetraHosting) reported

    @Jenn_Mattern @DevonEllington Ideally, avoid any Newfold Digital owned companies if you don't want similar service: bluehost, HostGator, Site5, iPage, JustHost, ASmallOrange, bigrock, Network Solutions, the list goes on.

    @Cloudflare hey I’m having an issue— my hostgator Cpanel domain email server points to cloudflare, but I don’t have a cloudflare account. So I need someone at cloudflare to fix that, but I can’t access customer service without an account! Please help.
