I had heard that it was a stable, reliable, responsive company...however, since migrating my sites onto Hostgator I have only had issues and am constantly in the dark about changes that Hostgator is making. Nothing is simple and my sites are not online, so I wouldn't say Hostgator is reliable either.

Sadly the new interface in the Portal is a big step back in my opinion. Also, logging in is becoming an issue.

The redesign is confusing me. You should have videos so we do not have to call support every time we are lost. At least update your YouTube channel.

Recommend as an option by a IT support staff - it was one of several. It has not been the best experience.

Faster, more intuitive, and easier to navigate than GoDaddy (where I used to have my hosting account).

The new portal is not intuitive. It is difficult to get to the functions that are needed. Furthermore, all the information from the old portal has disappeared.
