  • evan_co_ evan 🌾 (@evan_co_) reported

    @theforeignsick Go to HostMantis! They’ll won’t you on a shared server that they won’t update the PHP software for like HostGator has done. I physically cannot develop on their server anymore. Their service is atrocious

  • MidvanaGroup Midvana (@MidvanaGroup) reported

    @skystracloud my issue is still same not resolved yet still we are facing server down issue too many times in a day @hostgatorindia @HostGator

  • thedinoisland TheDinoIsland (@thedinoisland) reported

    Be careful using @hostgator I purchased a year's subscription last night and called support to see if I could have my older package migrated and was charged $13.80 for the old one by the phone rep. Sorry chat dude but it wasn't authorized.

  • jrickybt Jhon Enrique Bermúdez (@jrickybt) reported

    @HGSupport Since October. Yes, since Hostgator suffered a worldwide drop in its services in October, our hosting is having problems: intermittent, 7 hours to send an email. The service sucks. Refund the money or move the services. Ticket 46227447

  • Ivaleixo Igor Aleixo (@Ivaleixo) reported

    For 2 weeks, I've been struggling to verify my domain in Google Workspace hosted by Hostgator. Their poor support leaves my SSL non-functional. Their responses to my queries vary & now they want to charge me for their mistake. @hostgator's service is unacceptable. #dissatisfied

  • jrickybt Jhon Enrique Bermúdez (@jrickybt) reported

    @HGSupport A week without any response. Move our services to another hosting of refund the money! No more waste of time with you. We experience that issue from October. Move our services now: Support Ticket Hostgator: 46227447.

  • TheCozyCoder Dani.B (@TheCozyCoder) reported

    Which reminds me that my first Tech job I worked at Hostgator as a support person or whatever that title is and how much of my day was just fixing Wordpress sites because broken plugins. 🥴

  • MidvanaGroup Midvana Technologies (@MidvanaGroup) reported

    @ethanjaack I'm using this company servers from past 5 years but we never faced nothing issue in past. i love @hostgatorindia because of their good services but this time hostgator broken my heart. but i still want to use @hostgator because i love their services so much.

  • K3TripleR K3RRR (@K3TripleR) reported

    @SoberHam @HostGator @HGSupport Thanks Dave… There are on my shortlist although I've been told they are owned by the same company that operates HostGator which is a huge concern by itself but I'm doing my drill down today to make a final decision in the next couple of hours…Thanks for taking time to respond!

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @FeoAmante @HostGator @GoDaddy Hello, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. If you are facing any outstanding issues, send us a DM along with email address and ticket number so we can look into it?

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @TheMorphiaas @HostGator Can you please DM us the case ID for this issue? We'll surely check with our team.

  • KatMurti Kat Murti (@KatMurti) reported

    @HGSupport I've just been chatting with @HostGator customer support. The first agent disconnected with me and the second one said there was nothing they could do, but I should buy a different domain and connect that instead. I want MY domain, which is what I was trying to renew.

  • jasminelukuku Jasmine Lukuku (@jasminelukuku) reported

    The winner of worst customer service I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with is @HostGator. They missed every follow up deadline they set for themselves. They promised me calls that never came. They never shared notes so I had to explain everything over and over.

  • MidvanaGroup Midvana Technologies (@MidvanaGroup) reported

    @hostgatorindia here is the case id: 46296540 kindly check it and solve the problem. our patience level is now no more. we want solution now. #hostgator #hostgatorserverdown #solvemyissue

    For 2 weeks, I've been struggling to verify my domain in Google Workspace hosted by Hostgator. Their poor support leaves my SSL non-functional. Their responses to my queries vary & now they want to charge me for their mistake. @hostgator's service is unacceptable. #disappointed

  • keithlaw keithlaw (@keithlaw) reported

    @RTotale76 It's an @HGSupport issue. Only affects certain users on cellular data. They have never been able to explain why.

  • n4_but N4BUT (@n4_but) reported

    @K3TripleR @HostGator @HGSupport DO is good but I found that most hosting services have bad reputation IPs for email. There’s ways around that but again I self host on my work fiber connection gig symmetrical. Got lucky they let me do it. I share my service with them and they save money. I’ve been there 20…

  • jrickybt Jhon Enrique Bermúdez (@jrickybt) reported

    @HGSupport Support Ticket Hostgator: 46227447

  • FeoAmante Feo Amante 🇺🇦 (@FeoAmante) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator @GoDaddy I was on chat. I never got a ticket number. In both cases, after their whacky requests "Could you please try another Internet provider?" (Who pays for multiple providers? Where?) Then they'd "be right back" and let the chat room time out in 10 minutes.

  • QueenKoddi Queen Koddi~ Nashville ****** (@QueenKoddi) reported

    @SeattleFemdom I use hostgator, as long as they don't have a payment processor attached, I've never had any issues

  • FlavioLuccisano FLAVIO LUCCISANO ルチサーノ・フラビオ (@FlavioLuccisano) reported

    @HostGator has been charging my card two times for services I cancelled one year ago, I tried to get in touch with them and it's impossible, their virtual chat is a joke, horrible service.

  • jasminelukuku Jasmine Lukuku (@jasminelukuku) reported

    @HostGator Can you give me the hours back that I spent waiting for return phone calls that never came?

  • hostgatorindia HostGator India (@hostgatorindia) reported

    @TheMorphiaas @HostGator Can you please DM us the case ID for this issue? We'll check with our team.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

  • Lord__Dawn LordDawn (@Lord__Dawn) reported

    Hey @HGSupport are you having issues? Can't login to the portal and my sites are down.

  • jonathonhyjek Jonathon Hyjek (@jonathonhyjek) reported

    @dustinhyle @nichepursuits I just got rid of a hosting client that had 20GB of images...The number of resources they were using on my VPN just wasn't making sense for the $$. I moved them along - they're with Hostgator now. Not my problem. LOL

  • htregoning Harry Tregoning (@htregoning) reported

    Just wishing @HostGator and the @hostgator support actually helped.

  • keithlaw keithlaw (@keithlaw) reported

    @jhammon67 it's a @HGSupport issue. try on wifi, that may resolve it

  • awad__haj Awad Haj (@awad__haj) reported

    me: not specific, just estimated time. @HostGator : sorry we can't bcause many departments are involve in the issue. me: open time? tell me how much i will have to wait, one day, one month, one year? @HostGator : i understand your concern, but i can not give time.😡

  • OnionfarmsMedia Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt (@OnionfarmsMedia) reported

    We will make a comeback. The problem we are having seems to be beyond the scope of what HostGator technical support can typically fix. I have connections with Developers who can help me on this.
