whenever I try to send an email with Hostgator email(Titan mail) it wont send and Hostgator send me an error from Titan mail telling me you cant send an email you have wrong spf records by the way i never touched either the SPF or the DNS , they are the ones who setup-ed it . so i changed the SPF records about three weeks ago and the problem still presists(lost so many clients in the process ). tried contacting them so many times most of the time they won't even reply to the email. and if they reply they tell me contact titan mail (first of all it is not my problem because I didn't contract titan mail you guys did) . so I contact Titan and titan says contact Hostgator. I contacted Hostgator and they told me to contact Titan back a loop that didnt end for a 15 days (titan email is made by Hostgator by theway when you setup an email they give you an email with Titan). I sent over one thousand emails between Titan and Hostgator. and they never fixed the problem they just kept asking me the same question and I replied to the same answer trying to mislead me and wasting my time so they don't do their job and they wont even send a ticket. i feel scammed and laughed at I will never recommend this for you guys especially if you are a web developer this will ruin your reputation and if you are a company you will face so many problems that won't even be fixed by the support they will just ignore you whenever you face a problem that they set for you and when its not even your problem and you didnt do anything wrong and the problem is from them s they will just give you an awful experience and waste your time

I don't like how Hostgator doing business.You can see up to today, 5 Jan 2024, there is still cashback offer on Topcashback.I purchased a plan via Topcashback, and the cashback did not show up. Then I raised a claim after 7 days as it is a mandate of Topcashback.Hostgator did not respond, until after 30 days I made the purchase, and rejected the cashback, and I am not able to get refund because it passed 30 days period. I did not configure the site and did not use any services yet. Seems to me they purposely reply after 30 days.Shame on how they cheat people using the cashback offer, and it still active on Topcashback.

The support at Hostgator is a joke. It might be ok that they ONLY offer a "live-chat" function IF (and none of these are things they do):1) The representatives knew what they were actually talking about/could actually provide any support.2) The representatives could speak/understand English fluently enough to actually have a technical conversation.3) Their systems weren't constantly experiencing glitches and problems.4) The representatives would answer the chat in LESS THAN 54 minutes!!!!!! (UPDATE: it was actually over an hour before someone came on the chat line, and I was on the chat line trying to get a problem fixed for 6 HOURS... seriously)On average, it takes about an hour to get anyone on the chat. Even once you do, it OFTEN takes 30-40 minutes between responses.This isn't support, this is torture. TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!UPDATE: While I'm glad to see that Hostgator did promptly reply to this review, it seems to be fairly "boilerplate" and void of any actual itemized initiative to make any changes or acknowledge that these problems do in fact exist. I'll update again if anything actually changes, but for now I'm pretty sick of hearing "your feedback is valuable" but never seeing any movement towards fixing these issues.

I bought a hosting for my WP site with heavy trafic, the moment i logged in findout, the services are not what they are saying on the landing page, super slow and poor support, I asked for a refund which they did with a wrong CVV2 so the money couldnt come back, when i asked in the support they said its already refunded, IF they are doing this for $22 i am sure this company needs to find another business. Poor support, Poor services.

I am not able to extract any zip file, or upload any file to the server, even FTP is also not working....and they just say all the time, we are woking on you ticket, i don't know how long it will take and i am losing my clients and business due to this kind of worst support! Hate Hostgator service!!!!Ticket Number- 157201

I you want to grow then don't choose the Hostgator.I am using cloud enterprises and not running the system.Every time they will ask you to upgrade the system or go for a higher option. I paid a lot of money to them and fed up with their chat.Yesterday I have upgraded the service and today is not working when I asked them (Vania) what the issue they said to go for the higher option.

Whilst researching which provider to switch to I asked these guys about migrating over and down time via chat was told they take care of it all and there is no down time (THIS IS NOT THE CASE THEY DO NOT DO IT FOR YOU - THEY LIED TO ME)The process is you enter details the system picks that up you have to do the pointing etc, I have a few sites and for all bar two it worked fine one is my main one which is why I am so disappointed. So it comes up tells you to point it during this time it went down yesterday for a short while then today it was showing an error on DNS I reached out to support they done something with A records and then the site went down completely.From this point I have had to go to the domain host for it to be reset which can take upto 48 hours and then point it to the old provider meaning more down time then have to come back to these well that wont be happening.I have wasted so much time this weekend moving everything over and I wish I just stayed with Siteground, the only reason I was transfering was prices which was about half but Siteground do have more features and its faster but it is more expensive.In summary;I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AS THEY GOT MY BUSINESS BASED ON A LIE, NOW MY SITE IS DOWN AND I AM LOOSING £XXX as well as losing customers who will go to competition.DO NOT RISK YOUR BUSINESS DO NOT SWITCHAlmost one week on no one has bothered to answer my question it’s not the guys fault dealing with things they are amazing it’s the above.INACURATE REPRESENTATION ?????? REVIEWS: People are bribed by hosting to leave a review and offered 2 weeks hosting which they add into your plan costing them pennies but makes the company look great. Filter down to below 3 star and see to reviews from people who have tried to resolve issues. Such a shame.In final point to the review - Customer service have took a week chasing something which we knew the answer to 5 days ago as they have got lost off passing things around to each other. Dont waste your time with these.

Since 2003 I had been using another provider (the most famous in Italy), last year I switched to Hostgator and now life is easier. I don't give 5 stars because for some important settings you need a VPS.But the sites are very fast, and the possibility of choosing the server from various areas in the world makes everything very efficient. Furthermore, assistance is fast and, apart from a few exceptions, the operators immediately understand the problem and help you solve it.The possibility of having a streaming package is missing, which for me would be very useful.PROWell-made control panel with intuitive interfaceability to transfer sites from old providers easilyfast and prepared support teamcompetitive hosting pricesCONSYou must know English for assistance.MySQL settings and in general not all parameters are controllable (e.g. you cannot restart your web service).Lack of a streaming service.Prices of .it domains (and geographical domains in general) are higher than in Italy.

Terrible support system, there is no way to reach anyone outside of support chat system. They make you go via knowledge base before talking to AI computer system. Afterwards I was on hold for 30 minutes before getting an actual person. The support team has very limited knowledge or maybe access to issues that maybe going on on your server. Support will submit your issue to another dept where you still have to wait for a response. This is very frustrating. GET A SUPPORT TICKET SYSTEM AND SUPPORT TEAM WHO CAN SOLVE ISSUES WITHOUT THE WAIT

Posting family provides very poor service, no good service at all and their response time is not good. Your domain is suspended repeatedly without any help.

Hostgator is a scam service, they receive your money, cancel your hosting plan without any refund as they run ads. They will tell you they already transfer fund to 3rd party and you must wait for them. So they have no responsibility to recover your hosting plan anymore, also your fund is not at their wallet anymore. There is no deadline to receive info from their 3rd party. So you will lose your money forever. This is actually a scam service.
