Eduardo Aspe M. (@easpem) reported@HostGator 2 sites hosted on HG are down. Have been on and off since 7 days ago. Case id INC1132927. Please. My Client is furios.
-
OkYall (@okyall55) reported@Hostgator, unbeknownst to me, no longer provide, free backups. Had I known this, I certainly would have moved my blog much, much sooner to @BlueHost who provides it DAILY for a free with a $0 restore fee. You have lost your customer service score but your bottom line may have increased TEMPORARILY. Now that I've been forced to review my choice of hosting services for all my blogs and websites, I also have learned that they have almost 10 points higher ratings than you and are a fraction of how much you charge. Why on earth would anybody pay more, get less, and risk loss? Since I have suffered from your lack of customer care, I will be moving my blogs. Do not touch them again until I have gotten all of my content removed

Abol Ger (@ger_abol) reported@HGSupport @cjcornell They did the same with me injected a malware and i have never recovered, later they charged me $25 to recover emails, i lost 3 clients that i was working with

Geetha Prabhu (Workflexi) (@geetu11) reported@BigRock @hostgatorindia Can someone call me on my registered mobile no. pls? Every week our emails are down and your team takes one whole day to rectify the problem. When it was hostgator, we never faced this issue. What is that you guys are doing differently that we have to suffer every week!!??
-
HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@seanrogers8 @HostGator @spamhaus Spamhaus looks at email traffic from an IP address, often across many users on a shared server, not a single account. Our teams monitor and work with them to clear any listings. Please reach out to support so we can review your specific server and email setup.

Lissa (@itsjustmetwo) reported@HGSupport Why is it impossible to get anything escalated to people who can actually help?
-
Hussain Abeer (@hussainabeer_) reportedIs hostgator blocked on your debit cards yes or no? @bankofmaldives your customer service has failed to give me a straight answer since monday. Aharunves kuranee viyafaari. This is unacceptable behaviour. First u say invalid cvc the u say platform issue now insufficient funds.

Joan Reynolds (@JoanTReynolds) reported@HostGator I cannot login to my hostgator account. Support is now useless.

✌ Brando™ 🇨🇦 Whistler (@surfingshreddie) reported@HGSupport yes. chat said it was my fault. phone help says it is a HGator issue and is fixing one website at a time
-
Rad Web Hosting (@RadWebHosting) reported@ZennieAbraham62 @HGSupport A better question is why does this process even require support, or for you to request it, then escalate your request? Automated SSL installs, renewals and replacements at $0 for life or ****!!!
-
Tommy Flavio (@tommyflavio) reported from Town of Hamden, Connecticut@ionos_help_US I called support. They needed my ID and something else. Sadly, I ended up just using @HostGator which went right through and I was up with cpanel in less that 20 minutes.
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedWow. @HostGator has never been closed at this time. Now it says "office closed". @HGSupport
-
Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHey @grok do you know why HostGator now closes its offices rather than give 24-hour support, unlike they sed to ?
-
Egerton Sinclair (@Eg_a_Sinclair) reported@skystracloud Hey, no it didn’t so I’ve moved to a new provider. Had enough of hostgator and their lack of customer service
-
Zak Kann (Fractional CTO) (@zrkann) reported@FakeUncleNemo Agree generally, but not with Hostgator. EIG subsidiaries (Hostgator, Bluehost, etc) lure people in with cheap intro rates but they quickly raise the prices, their defaults are slow and often have security vulnerabilities, and their customer support, well, I'm not sure it exists.

In an attempt to get a refund I got a runaround from 3 different companies including #BlueHost and #NetworkSolutions. No refund yet.

HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported@FeoAmante @HostGator Hey, Feo. We'd like to look further into this and get your site back online. Please send us a DM with any open (or closed) ticket IDs related to this issue, and we'd be happy to assist you from there.
-
Nathan young (@nathanyoung26) reportedWe’re moving to @HostGator — they actually pick up the phone. A website host should support your business, not sink it.
