  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport Still stuck in the never ending chat of issues with someone unqualified to velcro a shoe

  • DeFiDominatrix DeFi ********** (@DeFiDominatrix) reported

    honestly loving how hostgator took forever to respond to a problem on my site and then ended up ******* my site up, only to take forever to respond again so they can unfuck up my site this time.

  • Ras_Tin Otaku 🇦🇬 (@Ras_Tin) reported

    Really dislike this new interface your guys rolled out @HostGator. Worst part is I can't rollback to the previous version

  • _mulu morilo (@_mulu) reported

    hey @HostGator I'm trying to access the CPanel from my client area but no success, the button just disappeared. Also tried to open a ticket through the support area and no success too. I have a job to finish, could you cooperate with me, please? @HGSupport @HostGatorBrasil

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Why do i need to be speaking to chat 2-3 times a month for 3 months for the same issue

  • jjrruiz Juan José Ruiz (@jjrruiz) reported

    @HostGator IMPORTANT: the attacker is filtering non-Spanish IP addresses and not mobile devices, and showing a fake 403 error. Please use an Android user-agent + Spanish proxy to check it, and solve this #phishing issue as soon as possible.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Maybe you guys retrain the customer support to be aware of their job\

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @HGSupport The whole hosting is down and your chat support doesn't care.

  • acegirljendeuk franz | voting and streaming 🥀 (@acegirljendeuk) reported

    @pinkpinipig did you contact na the support of hostgator?

  • leonheywood Leon Heywood (@leonheywood) reported

    It seems at least once a month we have problems with @HostGator and when I tell other tech people they just roll their eyes. As a company you would think they would want to promote a good image of their services.

  • amgdev Andrea Gibbens (@amgdev) reported

    @natmiletic @kvncnls The white screen of death happened only after being on the phone with HostGator and them trying to fix the original issue... which happened when I imported my local dev site to the staging site attached to their domain which ended up redirecting their domain to ".local"

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @hgsupport After HG admins upgraded the cloud server in April, inherited PHP.ini versions no longer load common modules such as wddx, sqlite3 or pdo_sqlite. Error messages once a minute. x all domains on a package. x all users on the server. No wonder your server is slow...

  • SunnyCrittenden 💀💕🌸~*SunnyGrrrl*~💖✨💀 (@SunnyCrittenden) reported

    If anyone needs site hosting, @HostGator has phenomenal customer service & decently priced hosting packages. Had trouble setting up DNS for new domain, started customer service chat & she was like, "want me to just set them for you?" New domain will be working in 2 hrs. Magic! 👍

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator So since noone can ever help, and the problem never ends, we think it is best to file and deal with this in court, we are through losing face with a horrible server network that never knows what is happening and can never help

  • Blonde_kitty_x GODDESS KITTY (@Blonde_kitty_x) reported

    @WillowBouvier I would actually, @HostGator have been really really helpful if there have been any problems, and they're SW friendly!

  • DuckDegen Degen Duck (@DuckDegen) reported

    @bantg Wow. And i thought hostgator was bad

  • aafc795 Joe Moore (@aafc795) reported

    @denharsh @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Namecheap is the worst, zero customer service and they don't answer emails. I should start another site with HostGator, which is much better and they actually call you after you become a customer to make sure everything is going along well.

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

    Our site was down today for three hours because @HGSupport Hostgator made changes to it - changes not authorized by us or our developer. @Hostgator offered no apology, provided no fix and gaslighted our developer. Our advice: never use Hostgator if you value your web presence.

  • creatorcastle Creator Castle (@creatorcastle) reported

    @HostGator @heyscottrowan The portal is down please help!

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator Dear world of #crypto please avoid this service at all costs

  • mvandemar Michael VanDeMar (@mvandemar) reported

    @HGSupport Is there an email outage right now? My email on gator4101 keeps erroring out.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator @ID_Theft_Lawyer how much to retain your service to sue @hostgator here

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

    @HGSupport We won’t be needing, requiring or ever asking for your help.

  • vwmannn Victor Westmann 🇧🇷🇨🇦 (@vwmannn) reported

    @NickMilo Everything on the web my friend. Except hostgator and godaddy. They're also terrible.

  • regainyourname Regain your name (@regainyourname) reported

    @HGSupport #31947237 your ‘support’ made changes to our website and now our website no longer works.

  • HoltTrains Holt Training Inst. (@HoltTrains) reported

    @HostGator a hosting company with ambiguous billing practices. You are a technology company. Why must one get a refund and then repurchase to apply to open invoice. @Quickbooks please help HostGator, please

  • tomtolkien Tom Tolkien (@tomtolkien) reported

    @HGSupport Hostgator, we lost a longstanding client today as a result of your support engineer's unprofessional actions.

  • edw_yu Edward Yu (@edw_yu) reported

    @SiroCapital What's bad hosting? My site is on HostGator -should I move?

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport I very seriously doubt that since we are here again with the same issue
