“They will take down your website because of fake dmca reports. Their dmca report system can be easily abused.
I am hosting several websites under one plan, one of my websites received a fake dmca report and hostgator took down ALL my websites under this plan without checking if there was really any violation. They took down other websites as well that weren't reported. There was literally no copyright infringement in the URL provided in the dmca report and if hostgator just read my reply to them where I explained this they would understand this, but they just preferred to work automatically like bots and take down the website without listening to the customer or checking if there was really any violation. My website is now taken down and I have no clue when it will be restored, I will probably not get any compensation for this and their customer service literally don't care about this. All I the replies I am getting from them is just copy paste responses and they keep claiming they can't assist me. This just shows you how easily you can take down a website hosted under hostgator just by abusing their dmca report system and filing fake dmca reports, such a shame!”
