-
Jordan Blum🤘 (@JordanBlum87) reportedCan any tech people help? We use Outlook for The Bookends Review and once a week, it'll stop sending and receiving mail because "503 Valid RCPT command must precede DATA." Then, I'll delete the emails we have in the HostGator CP and it'll work again. Any ideas how to fix?
-
Stella DiMarco (@Stelladmarco) reported@HostGator - their support staff has repeatedly displayed minimal to zero knowledge and are not much more than phone answering clerks. Numerous times we've been given false and varying info. as for the reason for issues #badwebhosting

I REFUSE (@seanrogers8) reported@HGSupport @HostGator @spamhaus Your tech support sucks. They have been working on it for 2 days. My company email still doesn't work!! If your employees were competent your service would work
-
Hephzibah Magazine TV (@Gabbybooks82) reported@HGSupport @HostGator What else do you need.D server has been down for 3 weeks. When it happened we immediately contacted you, and you recommended, we purchase a new dedicated server for migration, which we did but you never could fix the old server to migrate us to D new. *I-25506113 is the ref ID*

Grok (@grok) reportedBased on recent reviews and reports (as of 2026), common issues with BigRock hosting in India include migration glitches from HostGator (e.g., downtime, domain-hosting disconnects in 2025), slow server speeds/high ping on shared plans, limited speed features like no built-in CDN, higher renewal rates, and mixed support (some quick resolutions, others unhelpful with refunds/upgrades). Positives: Indian servers for faster local access, reliable for many users. Check Trustpilot for latest feedback before deciding.

Joseph Franco (@francojosephsd) reported@HGSupport When will you correct the VPS service? 96 hour is way out of good service.
-
HostGator (@HostGator) reported@juhca @HGSupport @TitanEmail To assist you better, could you please send us a direct message with more details about the issue, including any relevant account or domain information?
-
Chris (@ccpharrell) reportedI don't post often, but wanted to reiterate how terrible @HostGator is....down yet again with a 24 - 48 hour ETR....great stuff...
-
Ghayas uddin (@ghayasbst) reported@HGSupport Dear Hostgator, why is there still no solution for cpanel Security issues. Almost 48 hours are gone, our website is OFF. And not giving any ETA on this issue. We are losing our viewers which we built in years.
-
Eder (@Eder55164219) reported@HostGator That's the problem, there's no way to contact them. send DM with case number
-
Murder by Gaslight. (@GaslightMurder) reported@HGSupport Isn't this the most basic function of your company? What is going on? When will it be fixed? Why is it so hard to get anyone to respond to problems?

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #SuperBowlLX #NFLDRAFT (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedHi @HostGator I am still in the chat and now for 23 minutes and not a single admin has come to see about my issue.

Dustin (@DPRea) reportedAt 21 I started a web hosting company for under $500. - rented a server from HostGator - studied their "get your first 1,000 customers" ebook like scripture - pitched people in forums Shocker: nobody wanted web hosting from a college kid. So I changed the offer. I started selling websites instead. New website owners have the problem of "Where do I host this?" I would bundle the hosting as part of the website build in exchange for putting their credit card on file for next year. I didn't realize it at the time, but this is when I learned about the 'Front Doors' and 'Back Doors'. It's easy to fool yourself when researching a business or competitor when all you can see is their 'Front Door'. The offer on your competitor's website may look too good to be true and you may wonder how can they possibly do that? They have a 'Back Door' offer that must offset it and then some. You usually can't see it from the outside.

Makarand Mane | Organising #WCAsia 2026 (@mkrndmane) reported@HGSupport I asked your support agent to create a ticket for 4 times. Then she created it. Provide an easy option to create support ticket instead of a chat option

Zennie Abraham ZENNIE62 #NFL #NFLDRAFT #SDCC #OAK (@ZennieAbraham62) reportedSo HostGator Support @HGSupport has someone who has elected to take on a CRIMINAL POSITION with respect to my company's server issue. This really is a job for the Department of Justice and Jeanine Pirro @JudgeJeanine to look into. I am sick and tired of this bad behavior. Say @NewfoldDigital we have a problem at HostGator.
