    @HGSupport come on !!! it has been created at least 3 hours before and the server has been down from last 8 hours! in which part of the world can a company switch off its server for 8 hours ????

  • NNtseh Sweetness (@NNtseh) reported

    @HostGator I'm aware of your pricing plans. I mean... Can't you guys just give me some special consideration? You won't be losing, but gaining 1 more customer for next year, as well as other accompanying services

  • tehseenkhan009 Tehseen💻 (@tehseenkhan009) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport This is my second website on ur server rhat got compromised. I contacted ur support and they wait for 48 hrs? Wait for 48 hrs to be ****** more?

  • stressfreehost Stress Free Host (@stressfreehost) reported

    @shaunoconnor1 @HGSupport A timeout would either mean the db is overloaded (pretty sure it'll say something about max connects) or unreachable which is just down.

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator To me, Resolving an issue, means actually resolving it, as in, so it isnt a problem again, instead I have seen, you resolve it once, then in time, it comes back and noone even seems to realize it was a problem and are so disconnected that it will never be solved, so I decline

  • belagaytan Bela Gaytan (she/her) (@belagaytan) reported

    Apparently chatting with @HostGator tech support @HGSupport is interpreted as "make things worse so that my site won't even load". 🙄

  • rotto_balli Monuments funeraires, Marbre et Granit ROTTO-BALLI (@rotto_balli) reported

    @HGSupport For what? To do nothing and ask to buy your #sitelock antivirus service? WHAT A JOKE !

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator I went through this exact issue with you a month ago, and gave you the details you ask for now, you are so disconnected you cant realize I am the same guy with the same issue, it is a repeat of an ongoing unfixable issue I am convinced, you are unable to fix your system, obvious

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HostGator How on earth does a company as horribly ****** as yours still exist. That is amazing, you deserve a trophy for that. I think I'm more afraid of your rickety system and poor support than Friday the 13th but nice try blaming something else. Seems to be your MO

  • MyDogeAccount ThisIsMyDogeAccount (@MyDogeAccount) reported

    For any @Onlyfans creators who are looking to move off platform and host their own content. @HostGator allows you to host adult content. And if you're looking to accept payment don't worry about MasterCard or Visa use #Dogecoin Need help? Reach out to me #onlyfans

  • perricollins Perrijwan Collins 👑 (@perricollins) reported

    @shecanteatthat @HostGator Wow, that is some recommendation. Maybe I should give them another try. It’s possible their customer service has improved over the years.

  • kevquirk Kev Quirk (@kevquirk) reported

    Not sure how I feel about the Yoast acquisition. Companies like Bluehost & Hostgator are widely regarded as **** in the world of hosting. Mainly because of their horrendous performance and shady upselling. I’m sad to see Yoast now in that same bucket.

  • HGSupport HostGator Support (@HGSupport) reported

    @terrassacat Since we do not provide malware scanning and cleaning services we recommend the use of the SiteLock service, which is a partner of HostGator. This service is optional and you can use any 3rd party security service you want to add more protection to your website.

  • shecanteatthat Francesca Hinojosa (@shecanteatthat) reported

    @_Ravtastic @HostGator I will never host my sites anywhere else. I have NEVER EVER had a bad experience with them. Even if I had an issue, support fixed it with no questions asked

  • IdeasApatridas Ideas Apátridas (@IdeasApatridas) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport My VPS server is not working all my sites are down. I talked to support but its still having issues I need a solution ASAP!!

  • RhudeBoyT Mokondi Wa Erabanja ⚜️ 🇨🇲 🇳🇬 (@RhudeBoyT) reported

    @ADanielHill @Tweetinggoddess @HostGator But I'll have to try earlier tomorrow morning because I have network issues now.

  • terrassacat Terrassa Catalunya (@terrassacat) reported

    @HGSupport You ask me to signup for your antivirus paid service. That service is included on other hosting companies. This looks suspiciously a setup by you! ENOUGH!!

  • nightmare49 Gaurav V Shaha (@nightmare49) reported

    @hostgatorindia @HGSupport @HostGator I had paid my renewal amount 2 days prior to expire but still my vps server is down. Now support is saying it will be resolved tomorrow. What support hostgator is giving to a vps server? Case ID - 34572267

  • VJShordee444 I AM Valerie & trump is still dangerous (@VJShordee444) reported

    @WatchingWhatYou @HostGator I have been communicating with Hist Gator, I just got into my website for the 1st time in years. I’m going to try and start writing again, just for myself. I wrote down a list of things I want to start doing

  • abhishek2731 Abhishek (@abhishek2731) reported

    @HostGator What is wrong with your services !! My VPS account has been down for last 8 hours..!! Can you believe it!! What is wrong with you guys?? Ticket id: 34451089

  • VJShordee444 I AM Valerie & trump is still dangerous (@VJShordee444) reported

    @WatchingWhatYou @HostGator Isn’t that true. Ppl don’t realize that one simple act of kindness can help someone they done even know. We need to do more

  • GlewmeCorp Glewme Corp (@GlewmeCorp) reported

    @HGSupport @SheilaCreates This company has had me on a repeat problem the entire time I've been with them do yourself a favor and get out while you can

  • aspireitech Aspire iTECH (@aspireitech) reported

    @HGSupport disgusting service. Never recommend

  • ImEdward83 Edward Johnson (@ImEdward83) reported

    @terrassacat @HostGator Just don't change into @HostMetro They are GOD OF WORST.

  • vickytnz Vicky Teinaki (@vickytnz) reported

    @steveparks I'm considering it, but it means that I'll have 3 months before my $180 hostgator hosting is up for renewal to shut all of my old side project sites down as can't justify both

  • ChestnutPlays Chestnut 🌰 (@ChestnutPlays) reported

    I am so absolutely drained today, and my websites are still down so I can't blog like I want to which is making me crankyyyy. And dealing with HostGator to fix things that still aren't fixed isn't helping.

  • belagaytan Bela Gaytan (she/her) (@belagaytan) reported

    @HGSupport @HostGator For now, it's fixed. I came to support with a minor issue. After speaking with 2 techs, they caused worse problems. Unacceptable...especially when they claim it was just a caching issue.

  • um_cloudy cloudy day (@um_cloudy) reported

    @HostGator @HGSupport you are the most terrible customer service. this is really the last pain-staking time i deal with you. kiss 5 sites goodbye.

  • abhishek2731 Abhishek (@abhishek2731) reported

    @HGSupport this is worse than tier 3 service providers ... come on get my server back live !

  • BylKode 𝑰𝒇𝒍𝒊𝒔🏴‍☠️ⵣ (@BylKode) reported

    @HostGator Do you guys support decentralized domains like @HNS ?
