  • bosshawaii Dani Tow (@bosshawaii) reported

    How long does it take for you to unsuspend an account after the security issues have been addressed?! Multiple emails and no response, and a call. I was told 2 days it’s been over a week. @HGSupport

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HostGator @HGSupport Multiple tickets have been created and we have spoken to support staff but no result! Disappointing

  • sunilgupta7682 Sunil Gupta (@sunilgupta7682) reported

    @HGSupport We had migrated to your VPS server from a shared one as per your advice last friday. During this period we are in regular touch with your customer support team for resolution of no. of issues but I am sorry to say that the team is of no use at all.

  • billybobza billybobza (@billybobza) reported

    Dear @HostGator You cancellation process is absolutely shocking! I have tried to send emails, and logged in and attempted to chat to someone who took 4 hours not to reply. Please cancel my account and refund me as per my multiple requests.

  • opmstreams WWW.OPMSTREAMS.LIVE (@opmstreams) reported

    @HGSupport MY SERVER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR FAILURE TO TO PAY....ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS ? HSTGATOR PROVIDES ME WITH SERVICE THAT TOTALLY SUCKS...I HAD TO CALL 211 TIMES AND EMAIL YOU MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 6 WEEKS. NOW HOSTGATOR WANTS MONEY FOR THE TERRIBLE SERVICE

  • AffiliatesWatch The Affiliate Watch (@AffiliatesWatch) reported

    @nubberslaw All I can say is avoid Bluehost, Hostgator or any other EIG host affiliates recommend, they will take your money and you'll be left with horrible service

  • HeyAprill Aprill 💕 (@HeyAprill) reported

    @HGSupport I need some help. I tried to use live chat but it will not load.

  • spookyboorhodes Spooky Boo's Scary Story Time (@spookyboorhodes) reported

    @HGSupport @besanchez1981 OK So it isn't just me who is having a problem here?

  • Kod_ange1 Kod_ange (@Kod_ange1) reported

    @RonaldKironde2 @HostGator @HGSupport I am now using Ionos and they are better in terms of pricing and support.

  • garedat garedat (@garedat) reported

    @HostGator is down?

  • udittrivedi89 Udit Trivedi (@udittrivedi89) reported

    Worst server management team #hostgator Do not ever buy hosting from @hostgatorindia You are serving damn internet industry and unable to solve a serious #SSH issue permanently? Pathetic! @HostGator @HGSupport

  • HoltTrains Holt Computer Training (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HGSupport It’s billing. My domains expires today and they shut down my sites even though I have automatic billing. It’s okay. I’m done, as well as the sites I manage. This is too many problems

  • ichetan ichetan (@ichetan) reported

    August 2021 - Can't connect to Hostgator SSH Terminal. Network Error. Connection Timed Out 😟 @HostGator One or the Other thing is down. Not getting seamless access.

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @stressfreehost @HGSupport And that would show if it's a Hostgator db server resource issue, correct?

  • AshishKumar1503 Ashish Kumar (@AshishKumar1503) reported

    @HostGator do u people block customer laptop # so that they wont able to contact customer care??

  • 08asKrishna Keval (@08asKrishna) reported

    @Hostinger Your service is probably one of the worsts out there after hostgator. Im having problems with my blog regarding the upload host limit.

  • sunilgupta7682 Sunil Gupta (@sunilgupta7682) reported

    @HGSupport @Saurabh09056811 stii we r facing speed issue, i m surprised that after upgrading to vps from shared server, the situation gone worse, how will you people be able to handle when the traffic n users wd be in high in nos. ? I m highly disappointed with quality of your service.

  • iamMrSibusiso Sibusiso Mahlabane (@iamMrSibusiso) reported

    @HostGator I am very disappointed on your service. Ever since I migrated to Dedicated there are issues daily and the first line support is lying just to finish a call. I am very frustrated and disappointed

  • owolabithebest 👷 Builder Owolabi M.O.N🌍 (@owolabithebest) reported

    I need web developers opinion on this useless @whogohost. Their sever is just slow 🐌 compared to Hostgator.. It also has a lot of downtime They need to do more. 😫

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport @HostGator worst services! You cannot rely on them if you want to have your website running! Total lack of commitment and professionalism. #poorcustomerservice my issue not resolved since a month!

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    @hostgatorindia The only focus seems to be on marketing! No support for existing customers! It’s like a trap! @HostGator @HGSupport

  • iamsouravj sourav (@iamsouravj) reported

    One of the worst #hosting support ever @HostGator @HGSupport @hostgatorindia they commit 99.99 percent uptime and they are not even close to the commitment., no support at all! #customerservice

  • erik_sunset Erik Sunset | Miami Marketing 📈 (@erik_sunset) reported

    @A3_Arosemena I’ve used each of those. HostGator has been fine for years. Blueh*t has some of the worst support in the industry. That is a company I would be very careful about relying on. Just a totally strange response re: the ceo stuff. Hopefully there’s some closure soon.

  • MarshallCAJ3107 Chris Marshall (@MarshallCAJ3107) reported

    @HGSupport I have tried SIX times to resolve an issue via your chat and each time it locks up. Any chance we can get this sorted.

  • shaunoconnor1 Shaun O Connor (@shaunoconnor1) reported

    @HGSupport Yep, have done all that Tia. Again, the problem appears and resolves itself without my changing anything in WP which would strongly indicate that it's a server-side Hostgator resources issue 💁

  • HoltTrains Holt Computer Training (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HGSupport I am filing a report with the FTC, better business bureau, trust pilot And anyone else that will listen this is ridiculous. My domains expire today, I have automatic payment. Instead of taking charging my automatic payment, they shut my site down the day it says payment due

  • DragoonAzteca Fernanda G.P.🪐 (@DragoonAzteca) reported

    @HGSupport i try to cancel and you guys charge me ):

  • Steven84476735 Steven (@Steven84476735) reported

    @TheAnomaly @HostGator same here, I can login now, but the website is still very unstable

  • DavidaPride David Pride (@DavidaPride) reported

    Again @HostGator fixes my website/hosting issues quickly & w/logical solutions. They uncovered some security stuff I had done wrong. I’ve been a customer for almost 10 years & they’ve always been great to work with & prompt. Thx #Hostgator. #NotaPaidAdJustaHappyCustomer
