@BigRock @hostgatorindia X HostGator → BigRock migration. Same email on both platforms = migration failed. Domains moved there, hosting stayed here. Now they want me to hand over hosting directly to clients. Not acceptable. Indian businesses deserve better service standards.

@HGSupport Has HostGator changed its password requirements? I've had problems logging in suddenly but error messages do not state any change to the policy despite an AI search suggesting something may have been done by March 2025.

@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.

Rocketship SEO Plugin: We have identified a memory handling issue with our plugin that appears to largely impact Yoast users on Bluehost (though not HostGator which is the same company). in 100% of cases we've investigated the issue goes away in a few hours as memory used subsides. You might get an error immediately after activating the plugin that says there has been a critical error on the site. Your site and Admin area are fine, this is the memory issue manifesting itself. You might also get a report emailed by WordPress saying the issue was caused by @Yoast using too much memory, but it is our plugin causing the problem not Yoast. Our best guess at the moment is that this error is caused by our compatibility settings with Yoast which is performed automatically upon install and activation. We are looking at making this process more efficient and improving our compatibility so sites in shared environments like Bluehost do not encounter this issue.

@process_eli I went to school for my assosciate's in applied sciences for computer programming & analysis way back in 2002. I quit a semester later and got a job as a remote L3 sysadmin for HostGator. They wanted me to learn Java before C++. **** that.

@HostGator I've been on the phone with your so called Customer Support. Straight useless. It would probably help if they spoke true American language, but like every other call center - your **** is all outsourced!

We’re moving to @HostGator — they actually pick up the phone. A website host should support your business, not sink it.

@FakeUncleNemo @zrkann I got out of @HostGator about 10 yrs ago. They sabotaged one of my servers and asked $250 for "emergency upgrade". Funny enough, the support engineer who I was on the phone with, fixed it without it but had to switch it off again so they could keep the scam going 🤡

@HostGator has been the worst hosting provider I’ve ever dealt with. They take your money, set up an account, and then suddenly cancel it without giving any explanation. Their customer service is almost impossible to understand and the entire experience has been nothing but awful

@HostGator It’s super straightforward. Cancel the Titan email, make sure it doesn’t auto-renew and REFUND the charge.

HostGator is a terrible web hosting and email company. Even though I prepaid, they deactivated my account months ago. I have not used them since. Now I am getting invoices telling me I am past due! I cancelled months ago!!! #scam #HostGator #webhosting

I didn’t think it was possible but HostGator made their ****** website even worse If anyone reading this ends up needing web hosting use literally any other service

The worst web and email hosting provider is Hostgator. They suspend user accounts without warning. Their censorship policy is arbitrary allowing no clear definition of policy. Your opinion is not allowed on your own web site! #scam #HostGatorSux

hey @BigRockIndia its not fair that you sneak in add-ons at time of domain renewal without my explicit permission. In the last 13-14 years with @hostgatorindia @HGSupport I have never once faced such behaviour. I for sure will be out from your system soon.

@HostGator, I’ve been stuck in endless chatbot loops trying to cancel Titan Email I never signed up for. No option to cancel, no real support. I’m a paying customer. I want it cancelled & a refund ASAP. No transparency on your site.

Decided to go independent with HostGator hosting, but there was one problem... I needed to relearn coding. With all these new AI coding apps, I didn't know where to start.

After 23 years of being a customer of @HostGator they recently deleted/lost all database content for 4 sites during a hosting renewal. In an attempt to get a refund I got a runaround from with 3 different companies including #BlueHost and #Network Solutions. No refund yet.

@BigRock After Hostgator was migrated to Big Rock, service disruptions have become a daily affair during off peak hours. Support says process count exceeded 25, but doesn't give the exact cause of the downtime. Can you tell what's really happening?

Catwatchful’s breach exposed thousands of victim and customer records in July 2025, with attackers leaking photos, locations, and messages. Operators bypassed the first shutdown by migrating APIs to HostGator—demonstrating how stalkerware survives by shifting infrastructure faster than hosts can react. Google only started flagging the app with Play Protect after TechCrunch’s publication, and the spyware’s operators relaunched service within days. This cycle shows tech platforms can barely keep up when stalkerware pivots, and just about every stalkerware provider eventually leaks all their data.
