  • GuruChuck Guru Chuck (@GuruChuck) reported

    @HGSupport I decided to try HostGator and paid for 3 years hosting. After 2 months, I’m ready to flush that money down the toilet and find a new host! There are so many issues, but the biggest problem is tech support. I have tried chat, but the responses take sooooooooooo long!

  • PaulaGrayChic Paula Gray (@PaulaGrayChic) reported

    @HostGator Two months ago you charged me 360 USD for a service I did not agree. I am still waiting for the refund you promised... Yesterday you closed the ticket while I still wait my money back = sounds like scam !! @TXAG

  • FGOABORG I need to come up with a clever name (@FGOABORG) reported

    @tcan1337 This. I worked at HostGator and could tell once they started pushing commissions on L1 support people, it started getting going downhill fast.

  • averma963 अनुपम वर्मा (@averma963) reported

    @HGSupport Issue not resolved, website is still down, it's the 3rd day today. Very disappointed with your support.

  • faisal7moud Faisal Web developer (@faisal7moud) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia Hostgator Support :: Case ID :: 40861991 Website is down from last 3days and you are not doing serious efforts to fix it. Can I expect a better service from you??

  • averma963 अनुपम वर्मा (@averma963) reported

    @HostGator We have upgraded the VPS plan, ur support chat confirmed that there is no DOWNTIME of WEBSITE, EMAILS ( PLEASE CHECK THE ATTACHED SCREENSHOT OF THE SAME) wEBSITE WENT DOWN AS I have upgraded the plan I NEED my website to work urgently in 5 minutes.

  • coffee_n_curses Desiree, Slightly Unfiltered (@coffee_n_curses) reported

    Let me guess - @HostGator is down? I swear it's only down when I need to get into my cpanel, which is like 2x a year.

  • films4one1 films4one1 (@films4one1) reported

    @maria_drutska Get an inexpensive webhosting service for the domain then, on the website, have links of favorite Ukrainian aids organizations. I don't recommend godaddy. Here in US, I would go with least expensive hosting packages from hostgator or bluehost that cost $3 to $5 a month.

  • averma963 अनुपम वर्मा (@averma963) reported

    @HGSupport @HGSupport only reached out is not enough, you need to solve and fix it permanently, it's now 3 days and your server is down. Your technical team is unable to fix it. It's a frustrating experience for customers.

    @HostGator I decided to try HostGator… a decision that I now regret. Moving domains is so difficult! I have one that has been “in process” for over two months! Chat support takes forever to respond, with every response. At one point, I forgot I was chatting with support!

  • macdaddys_info macdaddys info (@macdaddys_info) reported

    @HGSupport Are you having issues right now? My email server is down…

  • MJBeauchampD MJBeauchampDesigns (@MJBeauchampD) reported

    @HGSupport I have been trying to view the websites i have hosted on hostgator. And they all take 3 minutes to load(forever). I also tried to access cpanel (login page)and that is taking forever to load. Is hostgator under maintenance? When will this problem be fixed please?

  • these_are_them Josh Q (@these_are_them) reported

  • RyanJones Ryan Jones (@RyanJones) reported
