The process of resolving the issue I brought to HostGator's customer service was painful. I received a total of 67 emails related to my issue over the 53 days it took to resolve. The real humans I interacted with over those 53 days were helpful and nice, but the systems they were helping me navigate were convoluted, often contradictory, and manifestly poor.

It was very difficult getting my website up live and trying to connect with customer support. We kept getting give it 24 hours or 2 -3 days. This delayed us getting our website up and running for weeks.

The customer service rep wasn't sure what happened. She also didn't explain how to solve the problem in layman terms. I did an update of the different applications including Wordpress which solved the problem. It was by accident that o did the update. I guess that was what she tried to explain but she used vocabulary that I wasn't familiar with and it was hard to hear her. I'm glad my site is back up. Thank you.
