  • EsquibalUSA Hugo Cruz (@EsquibalUSA) reported

    @HostGator I'm already tired of their failures in hostgator, but when it comes to charging the monthly payment they are up to date, but to solve the problems they hide... or they don't answer

  • ShanethaTech ShanethaTechnologies (@ShanethaTech) reported

    @HGSupport Our Site has been down for more than 12 hours. Contacted support 11 times. They told 30 min to 1 hr. Its been 3 hrs, still no solution. It is a creating a critical impact to my business.

  • diegotaube Diego Taube (@diegotaube) reported

    @HGSupport your support is a joke! After 2 full working days the problem is still there. I cannot send/receive emails. Once I login to the control panel i cannot access to the email accounts. The answer that i got is that filters blocking my outgoing mails.

  • MyOnTheRoadCom My On The Road (@MyOnTheRoadCom) reported

    @AndrewLedford @HostGator customer service is terrible. On my 5th call today. so far it is back the bad old days when no one knew what they were talking about.

  • shakerulllah Shaker Ullah 🇵🇰 (@shakerulllah) reported

    @HGSupport I am trying from different browser but not still nobody out there to fix my issue

  • emveedesign Michael Briggs (@emveedesign) reported

    @HostGator I have had an issue with clients SSL certificate and site has been down for over 24 hours. Been in contact with support 4 times and still not fixed. Told it has been escalated last night but still waiting. Totally unacceptable!!

  • stejpeck Stephanie (@stejpeck) reported

    as a web designer, i cannot say enough bad things about @HostGator. it is the absolute worst hosting service i have ever worked with.

  • ScottSandry Sandry (@ScottSandry) reported

    @HostGator Almost 48 hours of my site being down. Not a good look. Went to sleep w it working fine, wake up to blank screen. You want to charge me $25 for a restore of something I didnt brake. Your chat always says "5 min" but takes 20-60 min for someone to enter. Case 43267537.

  • i_dig_adk ADK for Life (@i_dig_adk) reported

    @HGSupport I support a website that uses the Twitter widget in the website builder. That appears to not be working. Can you please check to see if the Twitter widget is functioning?

  • EsquibalUSA Hugo Cruz (@EsquibalUSA) reported

    @HGSupport hey i have many problems again,

  • diegotaube Diego Taube (@diegotaube) reported

    @HGSupport Do I need a miracle so that a human answers the phone? My email is not working for more than 36 hours. My tkt us already with you, and theoretically it was escalated, but nothing happens! There is no support in your company! Tkt No 43258247

  • seboraid Sebastian Perez 🇦🇷 (@seboraid) reported

    @HGSupport I contacted 10 times you to solve a SSL issue from a client account. The result is that tell me to wait 2hs or you close the chat. Still waiting that you solve this issue and my client is claiming me for solutions

  • rolandogomez Rolando Gómez (@rolandogomez) reported

    @NewfoldDigital pls check ur DM. I remember when @HostGator started in FL then moved to Houston. Tech support fixed your problem over the phone at the actual data center while you waited. Today it takes over a week & they still can't get it right. #hosting

  • mgcoverz MG Gaskin (@mgcoverz) reported

    @HGSupport Dude, it’s crashed 6 times in the last week. Obvioay there’s a problem and you guys can’t fix it to prevent it from happening again.

  • yourmomeatsmayo tiff setzler (@yourmomeatsmayo) reported

    I keep telling myself I am going to switch from @HostGator, & I don't. Today was the last straw. My site has been down, I've been troubleshooting, found the issue, & stated the issue & their team is "oh let me delete files & plugins".... Why is the @hostgator team misogynistic?

  • renemetayer René Metayer Letzkus (@renemetayer) reported

  • viva_trista Trista Lauritsen (@viva_trista) reported

    @HGSupport what is happening with my VPS server? Cannot login to cpanel or whm. Please advise.

  • rolandogomez Rolando Gómez (@rolandogomez) reported

    @HostGator is anyone there? Since your data center migration over a week ago, everything has gone to crap. Your support service is the worst I've ever experienced. Please check the DM I sent you.

  • ReedChristian Christian Reed (@ReedChristian) reported

    @HGSupport @yay_o1 I'm sure it won't be down for more than a week. Clown show

  • ReedChristian Christian Reed (@ReedChristian) reported

    @HGSupport @PictureTheSouth Just fix it! Sites down for 72 hours last time and now it's down again for 24 so far. Message that we may experience 30min to MAX 2 hrs. Worst hosting experience in 20 yrs by far

  • shreekailash Piyush Patel (@shreekailash) reported

    @HGSupport I can't access the Customer Portal, and the Live Chat support just loads forever

  • NoKoolAide Walmart Hillbilly (@NoKoolAide) reported

    @HostGator Literally the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. Save your money and your sanity.

  • MyOnTheRoadCom My On The Road (@MyOnTheRoadCom) reported

    @AndrewLedford @HostGator now on call six. This is a really high effort host. how long does it take to install a site on @HostGator one day two, maybe five or never. At least this will make a good blog post.

  • BradLeeMe BradLee Aniston Pitt (@BradLeeMe) reported from Manhattan, Kansas

    @elonmusk is the biggest liar I’ve ever met in my life. He never worked @HostGator and apparently he did know how to use the @Apple computers floppy disk software.
