SiteLock HostGator scam is as real as it gets. I have 20 hosting accounts running WordPress websites. Eight (8) with HostGator, 10 with GoDaddy and 2 with WebHostingPad. They are all running the same version of WordPress. All 8 accounts with HostGator have been compromised while ZERO (0) with the other 12.

I constantly get extortion emails from SiteLock (Hostgator's partner). HostGator shuts my server off, and SiteLock imposes high-pressure sales tactics to try and get me to pay so Hostgator will turn my service back on. It is unbelievable! This has happened with all 8 of my accounts at HostGator several times.

HostGator gets so many calls complaining so they won't even pick up the telephone. Trying to get technical support from an individual over the phone from HostGator is futile. At best you will be on hold for at least an hour. I have been on hold for over 2 hours waiting. HostGator is a really bad hosting provider.

This company went wrong shortly after Brent Oxley sold out to Endurance International Group. HostGator is as bad as it gets! A class action lawyer would clean up if he ever brought a suit against Endurance International Group for what they are doing. One thing is for certain, the class action attorney would not be short of victims, just Google HostGator SiteLock scam.

This same shakedown tactic is done with all Endurance International Group properties. They include:
