    @HostGator For the past three years, something detrimental has happened to my VPS. HG support is always on point, but there's typically no explanation in regard to the root cause.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @JC_Wrighter @HostGator We don't want your site to be listed as 'Dangerous'. Send me a DM with some account info and I'd like to help. -Val

    @SibleyStamps I don't currently have a website but I did for something non-writing related and used NameCheap. Never had any problems with them. I've also used HostGator.

  • roberto_bayardo Roberto Bayardo | bayardo.eth (@roberto_bayardo) reported

    @HGSupport Feel free to shoot me a DM and I can provide the traceroute or other info you might need. I've already moved to another hosting provider though after too much finger pointing from previous support calls.

    Never use @HostGator to host your website on they legit have the worst service and dumb customer support reps

  • LockSafe LockSafe (@LockSafe) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with spent 50mins explaining the site of my clients are down and all I get is looking into the problem give me 2-3 mins.

  • WarzoneHeatt Jose Angel Linares 🇸🇻 (@WarzoneHeatt) reported

    @HGSupport Got it up & running, you guys do really have the best customer service 🙏🏽

  • jessemwilliams Jesse Williams (@jessemwilliams) reported

    I did it when working @HostGator. It sucked. Big issue happens when you have 300 employees that have to be on the clock at a given time, 300 employees that stay on the clock until that time, and only 310 desks. Supervisors chew you out for not finding a desk and being on time.

  • LockSafe LockSafe (@LockSafe) reported

    @HGSupport Over 90 mins later they NIKHIL decided they could not help

  • JulieSpira ❤Julie Spira (@JulieSpira) reported

    @HGSupport Please check your DM and have a senior supervisor call me re: an urgent matter. I've never been treated so horribly by a web hosting company, or any company for that matter.

  • LockSafe LockSafe (@LockSafe) reported

    @HostGator worst service ever

  • JulieKubiak Julie Kubiak (@JulieKubiak) reported

    1 1/2 hours to @HGSupport support chat, and then the chat goes down 😡 nothing was fixed, nothing resolved, it’s beyond a joke 😡😡😡 #CustomerService #businessowner #fridaymorning

  • JC_Wrighter JC Wrighter (@JC_Wrighter) reported

    Another one of my @HostGator websites is all of a sudden having issues. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good hosting provider? I think it's time to change. #hosting #hostingsites #hostingproviders

  • snookyollie BeanMachine (@snookyollie) reported

    @HostGator @GoDaddy Always used go daddy and had great customer service but I had heard great things about hostgator. Don't make the switch guys, awful experience. Customer service is always worth a premium! 350$ Business package and left with a broken site and 0 service. NGMI!

    @ChetoKavuncu Hey Cheto, if you notice on this invoice, it is to BlueHost not HostGator, unfortunately we can't help you with a charge from another company. You will want to reach out to @BlueHostSupport directly for assistance with this charge. Best of luck to you going forward!

    @hostgatorindia Buy the hostgator services only if you want some action in your life. If you want to remain busy getting complaints from your customers and want to spend few hours daily with hostgator support, buy any package. If you want to live a peaceful life, stay away.

  • designbilly Billy Mitchell (@designbilly) reported

    Just told customer support at @HostGator there where wrong when they tried to steer me into using a payed SSL service. I figured out I had to use Run AutoSSL under SSL/TLS in cPanel to get the free Let’s Encrypt working. #webdevelopment

  • dnprotect dnprotect (@dnprotect) reported

    @jatin2180 @HGSupport Not sure what you mean by 'partial access'. You either have control over & own it or not? If you own it, you can transfer to any other registrar. There are times when errors occur, and you're allowed to pay for a domain that's not actually available. If so, they issue a refund.
