    I was just told my site was loading “perfectly fine” by the chat person at @HGSupport. My partner and four people got the 500 error. The chat person then fixed what they said was not broken and now it’s fine. Own up to your mistakes, Jesus. You ****** up. Again.

    Having my yearly one or two issues with @HGSupport @HostGator . chatting with an agent. Damn site is down like it always happens. Seriously, once or twice a year, every year, for the last almost ten years, I have an issue with them.

    @HostGator I cancelled my account a week or so ago but today received an email that you charged me for another year. Help Please. Thank you.

    @JennManyTrades @HostGator Hmmm, seems a bit trivial to not allow, but whatever. Makes one ponder why it’s a problem with them.

    @HGSupport @HostGator @HGSupport how will you solve my issue?

    @HostGator @HGSupport how can I get in touch with support? your live chat is not working and there's no support email. You charged me $71 today for no reason.

    @hostgatorsupport Hello, I received a downtime alert at 8:47am GMT today on server 108.167.158.130 . Please can you let me know what the issue was, and has it been resolved by Hostgator? Thanks. I've been on support chat for 20 minutes, but they are not answering.

    @HostGator I saw this one today: "Software dev is 20% requirements gathering, 30% planning, 15% design, 40% problem solving, 35% testing, 18% ops, 4% looking up the arguments for `tar`, 33% writing documentation, 60% debugging, 7% installing updates, and 2% actually typing code."

    .@HGSupport my site was down last night. My analytics are WAY off. Like, there's no way I got so little traffic. I've been keeping a great average. Y'all just messed with my site so PLEASE look into this and figure out what went wrong so I stop having issues.

    @verum29 So ethically - where do I make the call? If our company works well we can help the GoDaddy or HostGator type companies actually pushback against Big Data. People have to understand - Big Data makes ALL OF ITS MONEY by TRACKING YOU

    @HGSupport @HostGatorBrasil Make sure to update your staff that Brasil customer service ******* sucks. It has been 7 days since I opened that ticket, 2 days since I tried to have my problem fixed through chat and it still persists :)

    @HGSupport my account got suspended for CPU over usage, I have remove 4 Wordpress installations and need to login to the other installations to reduce CPU usage with the plugins, can you please restore me access asap. I have already replied the email from you regarding this.

    @ADanielHill @StokKid @HostGator Interesting- the provider response/process is to shut it down?

  • thingone
    Michael Eng (@thingone) reported

    @HostGator used to provide incredible support. Now their @HGSupport support team can't even answers questions that are in their own KB. I asked a simple question at 3AM. The support rep said they would have to check with specialists and get back to me via email. They never did.

    @mojodispatches Yesss I use wordpress too. :) I actually meant Web Hosting. I use Hostgator but my website has been down for almost 24 hours and I’m super upset... Thinking about a change!

  • slyassnakes

    @HostGator Please respond to my emails and requests! @HostGator can’t manage it’s clients. How can you kick me out of a server I paid you for without notice???? I don’t even know how to proceed with this?? It’s really sad cos I’ve been a customer for so long. Now am losing money.

  • KaitlinMoore
    Kaitlin Moore (@KaitlinMoore) reported

    @HGSupport Hi, my site is down, your customer portal login page appears to be down, Live Chat support is not allowing me to log in, and I have been on hold for a while waiting for customer support. Are you having an outage or service interruption of some kind?

  • slyassnakes
    klemz (@slyassnakes) reported

    @HostGator Tricked me into buying their reseller plan that’s very slow and then started to disable my websites without any prior notice. I contacted @HGSupport over 20 times but they just ignore my request or responding to my emails. I’ve lost clients and money cos of this. 😡😡

  • thingone
    Michael Eng (@thingone) reported

    @HGSupport You can verify this by checking my support tickets. I still have no response.

  • ItaliaGuitarsUS

    @HGSupport just told me that the entire @HostGator Reseller server system is down. They said the servers could be down for the rest of the day. Unbelievable. @HostGator you should be ashamed of yourself.

  • On_Her_Back
    Rose has an Onlyfans (@On_Her_Back) reported

    @HGSupport It’s fine now that that person believed me and the other people, finally. I just wanted you to know that it was an issue and I don’t appreciate being treated like I don’t know that something ISNT wrong. It was wrong, they eventually fixed it.

  • On_Her_Back
    Rose has an Onlyfans (@On_Her_Back) reported

    Apologies for my site. Hostgator left debug mode on which slowed it down significantly when I asked for their help. My friend is a web developer and is looking for other issues. He discovered this after my host said nothing was wrong. Does anyone have advice for other hosts?

  • On_Her_Back
    Rose has an Onlyfans (@On_Her_Back) reported

    @HGSupport Hi, you didn't solve anything. My web programmer friend did. He found that you left debug mode on after you "fixed" my website when it went down, which slowed my site significantly. Don't take credit for HIS hard work. This all started b/c of an error on your part.
