Service is fine
July 29, 2024

Service is fine. I would like to know exactly and with easy access the total available disc space for my account, the total used space and what pricing options available if I want to increase my available disc space.

Wordpress is too difficult to use
July 29, 2024

Wordpress is too difficult to use. These "wonder blocks" make no sense. My navigations menus disappear with no warning.

I needed help with setting up my new cell phone for email settings. No one else could help me out. Within five minutes all was setup. My website and my is carried by Hostgator and have been with them at least seven years. They are always very helpful and do a great job with any problems I have had. Differently give HostGator 5 stars.

The on line instructions were difficult to follow for a non-techie, and the chat bot was not helpful but the in-person assistance was wonderful!

The service support was excellent, I only wish there were a few calls for no charge,. Thought $155 for the month, even though unlimited was too much.
