I think HostGator doesn't have the right be emailing anyone on my emails I created here. All emalis from hostgator about domain payments should come to me since I am the owner. The pop up message as I log in since the new update is so annoying please remove it.

I don't like the change to the interface in the last few months, not intuitive, tricky to get to the places that I easily got before.

New dashboard have many issues, even on payment time deducted payment many time. Because on payment click your page is not moving to next step and client feel this is not going to next if you click next time you can see 2 invoices on same time.

I face issue 2 time and one time after click I checked my invoice so there have one invoice but on dashboard its not going to next step.
Also your hostgator dashboard for all hosting we can't find with name of main domain name.
