  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HGSupport I just gave you details. Please let me and other frustrated customers know, here, if you're going to fix / replace this chat system. You used to have knowledgeable perfect-English-speaking answering the phones - now you get routed to who knows where and get subpar support!

  • BOOMBound 💥BOOM Bound (@BOOMBound) reported

    Last week, I worked with #firebase authentication to log the WordPress user in when a firebase login occurs. It was working fine on the local machine, but it’s giving a cross-origin access control error while using it on #HostGator 😨. I am trying to figure out the solution.

  • kc3kgq KayHancock (@kc3kgq) reported

    Big shout-out to @HostGator for having by far the worst support staff I have ever spoken to!

  • long Jonathan Long (@long) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport Need help ASAP!! Server gone!

  • marcyjcook MJC (@marcyjcook) reported

    Who is your #WordPress hosting company and why? I used to use hostgator years ago and I'm out of the loop these days. Help pls!

  • rye_how Rye Howard (@rye_how) reported

    hi @HGSupport @HostGator how do I get escalated support? the AI on the chat just recommends webpages and asks me questions I have already answered :-<

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HostGator Will you ever fix your terrible chat support? (1) No DINGS to let you know an agent replies. You have to stare at the screen & wait for response or get kicked out when the agent responds and you don't know. (2) Frequently get disconnected / agent disappears! Come on!

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HGSupport Why won't you bring back ticket support? Takes FOREVER to get issues resolved now dealing with call-in or chat support.

  • solveintime Solve in Time!® (@solveintime) reported

    Website is temporarily down, but @HostGator is on it! Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • atluxity Hans-Petter Fjeld (@atluxity) reported

    @Frikkylikeme Already using cloudflare, it was still causing too high CPU usage for our hostgator plan, and they did not support a smooth upscaling.

  • CyberSpecialist Bruce Goodwin (@CyberSpecialist) reported

    re: ticket number 32734909 @HostGator I enforce strong passwords on all WP accounts, I keep my php and server updated. the server was attacked via your cloud network and I am pretty sure @HGSupport knows it

  • PopunderTraffic Anshul Mahajan (@PopunderTraffic) reported

    @DavidVorick I am launching a new ad-server for which currently i use HostGator for serving ads. I want to understand how can i use Skynet for adserving? hosting my stuff over there... Help me please with some demo links.

  • BOOMBound 💥BOOM Bound (@BOOMBound) reported

    I'm working with firebase authentication to log the WordPress user in when firebase login occurs, which was working fine on the local machine, but it's giving a cross-origin access control error while using it on HostGator 😔. Trying to figure out the solution.

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HGSupport The system that works well for you doesn't work well for your customers. It requires an incredible time investment trying to get a qualified person on the phone or chat system to QUICKLY work an issue. I have to hold their hand for 10-30 min while they try to figure things out.

  • iamkadir Kadir (@iamkadir) reported

    @daveyheuser Yeah I've had people just blatantly rip-off my website (with comments in code) on Hostgator. You have to go through a dmca claim and ****. Not worth your time trust me.

  • davemillar David Millar - @dave@puz.fun (@davemillar) reported

    Tonight's episode of @HGSupport hell is so bad it's got me considering moving to a new host.

  • ThisIs4thiMpact 4th iMpact Media Group (@ThisIs4thiMpact) reported

    @HostGator having trouble building this website... can’t seem to get GlanceGuest to work. Need assistance connecting domain. Help?

  • PelletFan PelletFan (@PelletFan) reported

    Trying to get an answer as to why the site is down righn now from HostGator.

  • DesignManns MANNS DESIGN (@DesignManns) reported

    I am very sad with HostGator because this hosting provider is very useless, they do not have any security, our hosting is constantly being hacked but no one is helping My Customer Id: 20527265 #hostgator

  • LunaTrashQueen gremlin (@LunaTrashQueen) reported

    Anyone know a decent and cheap web hosting service? I’m up for renewal with HostGator and I can’t afford to renew and would super like to not have to take my portfolio down.

  • IvanNetwork Ivan Gomez (@IvanNetwork) reported

    I don't recommend this hosting company, to slow and takes forever to restore service, definitely, not good for business @HostGator

  • krsaurabhmca Saurabh Nagbanshi (@krsaurabhmca) reported

    @HostGator Service is so poor services all executive are incompetent and giving proper solution and reply.

  • 9to5Not Tracy Allen🦀 (@9to5Not) reported

    @HGSupport Hey there! Nope… I always call from the main # specifically so that you guys can recognize me. I just got off of the phone with a rep but if there’s some way that we can correct that issue so that I’m no longer asked to say/spell my email address, I would love that! Thanks

  • AdamMatalon Adam Matalon (@AdamMatalon) reported

    Wanna waste endless time you'll never get back? Try @hostgator you'll wish you hadn't.

  • BevRoze Beverly (@BevRoze) reported

    @HGSupport What? This is not regarding any specific domain name. I'm talking about your chat & phone support system and your lack of a ticket support system like most hosting companies.

  • CyberSpecialist Bruce Goodwin (@CyberSpecialist) reported

    re: ticket number 32734909 @HostGator I have sites down and @HGSupport wants me to DM them after their emails take no responsibility for exposing my sites to their recent hack @Endurance_Group should know about this that's my last one for tonight but we'll pick it up tomorrow

  • TimmyMcdugald timmy mcdugald (@TimmyMcdugald) reported

    @HostGator Hard to say. I suffer memory problems.
