  • seboraid Sebastian Perez 🇦🇷 (@seboraid) reported

    @HGSupport I contacted 10 times you to solve a SSL issue from a client account. The result is that tell me to wait 2hs or you close the chat. Still waiting that you solve this issue and my client is claiming me for solutions

  • rolandogomez Rolando Gómez (@rolandogomez) reported

    @NewfoldDigital pls check ur DM. I remember when @HostGator started in FL then moved to Houston. Tech support fixed your problem over the phone at the actual data center while you waited. Today it takes over a week & they still can't get it right. #hosting

  • viva_trista Trista Lauritsen (@viva_trista) reported

    @HGSupport what is happening with my VPS server? Cannot login to cpanel or whm. Please advise.

  • yourmomeatsmayo tiff setzler (@yourmomeatsmayo) reported

    I keep telling myself I am going to switch from @HostGator, & I don't. Today was the last straw. My site has been down, I've been troubleshooting, found the issue, & stated the issue & their team is "oh let me delete files & plugins".... Why is the @hostgator team misogynistic?

  • shakerulllah Shaker Ullah 🇵🇰 (@shakerulllah) reported

    @HGSupport I am trying from different browser but not still nobody out there to fix my issue

  • shreekailash Piyush Patel (@shreekailash) reported

    @kinsta Same site was working perfectly on hostgator dedicated server. so How it is plugin issues?

  • emveedesign Michael Briggs (@emveedesign) reported

    @HostGator I have had an issue with clients SSL certificate and site has been down for over 24 hours. Been in contact with support 4 times and still not fixed. Told it has been escalated last night but still waiting. Totally unacceptable!!

  • mileika_jurado M i l y (@mileika_jurado) reported

    @HostGator I Don’t know how to contact you. The live chat doesn’t work, you doesn’t answer my emails. I can’t use my domain and I am worried cause nobody answers me. PLEASE HELP !!!!

  • shakerulllah Shaker Ullah 🇵🇰 (@shakerulllah) reported

    @HGSupport Although at my mobile internet connection it is not showing any issue working fine there

  • diegotaube Diego Taube (@diegotaube) reported

    @HGSupport your support is a joke! After 2 full working days the problem is still there. I cannot send/receive emails. Once I login to the control panel i cannot access to the email accounts. The answer that i got is that filters blocking my outgoing mails.

  • NoKoolAide Walmart Hillbilly (@NoKoolAide) reported

    @HostGator Literally the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. Save your money and your sanity.

  • ReedChristian Christian Reed (@ReedChristian) reported

    @HGSupport @PictureTheSouth Just fix it! Sites down for 72 hours last time and now it's down again for 24 so far. Message that we may experience 30min to MAX 2 hrs. Worst hosting experience in 20 yrs by far

  • ShanethaTech ShanethaTechnologies (@ShanethaTech) reported

    @HGSupport Our Site has been down for more than 12 hours. Contacted support 11 times. They told 30 min to 1 hr. Its been 3 hrs, still no solution. It is a creating a critical impact to my business.

  • EsquibalUSA Hugo Cruz (@EsquibalUSA) reported

    @HostGator @M9688 I'm already tired of their failures in hostgator, but when it comes to charging the monthly payment they are up to date, but to solve the problems they hide... or they don't answer

  • i_dig_adk ADK for Life (@i_dig_adk) reported

    @HGSupport I support a website that uses the Twitter widget in the website builder. That appears to not be working. Can you please check to see if the Twitter widget is functioning?

  • ReedChristian Christian Reed (@ReedChristian) reported

    @HGSupport @yay_o1 I'm sure it won't be down for more than a week. Clown show

  • shakerulllah Shaker Ullah 🇵🇰 (@shakerulllah) reported

    @ethanjaack my issue resolved thanks @HGSupport

  • rolandogomez Rolando Gómez (@rolandogomez) reported

    @HostGator is anyone there? Since your data center migration over a week ago, everything has gone to crap. Your support service is the worst I've ever experienced. Please check the DM I sent you.

  • renemetayer René Metayer Letzkus (@renemetayer) reported

    @HostGator 503 error 3 days Waiting 2 business complete down case # 43200753 @HostGator #hostgator

  • BradLeeMe BradLee Aniston Pitt (@BradLeeMe) reported from Manhattan, Kansas

    @elonmusk is the biggest liar I’ve ever met in my life. He never worked @HostGator and apparently he did know how to use the @Apple computers floppy disk software.

  • stejpeck Stephanie (@stejpeck) reported

    as a web designer, i cannot say enough bad things about @HostGator. it is the absolute worst hosting service i have ever worked with.

  • diegotaube Diego Taube (@diegotaube) reported

    @HGSupport Do I need a miracle so that a human answers the phone? My email is not working for more than 36 hours. My tkt us already with you, and theoretically it was escalated, but nothing happens! There is no support in your company! Tkt No 43258247

  • MyOnTheRoadCom My On The Road (@MyOnTheRoadCom) reported

    @AndrewLedford @HostGator now on call six. This is a really high effort host. how long does it take to install a site on @HostGator one day two, maybe five or never. At least this will make a good blog post.

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HostGator Almost 48 hours of my site being down. Not a good look. Went to sleep w it working fine, wake up to blank screen. You want to charge me $25 for a restore of something I didnt brake. Your chat always says "5 min" but takes 20-60 min for someone to enter. Case 43267537.

  • viva_trista Trista Lauritsen (@viva_trista) reported

    @HGSupport thanks - chat support was able to assist and fix

  • MyOnTheRoadCom My On The Road (@MyOnTheRoadCom) reported

    @AndrewLedford @HostGator customer service is terrible. On my 5th call today. so far it is back the bad old days when no one knew what they were talking about.

  • DeadMan_DDProds Dead (@DeadMan_DDProds) reported

    @HGSupport I can't access the Customer Portal, and the Live Chat support just loads forever

  • mgcoverz MG Gaskin (@mgcoverz) reported

    @HGSupport Dude, it’s crashed 6 times in the last week. Obvioay there’s a problem and you guys can’t fix it to prevent it from happening again.
