Its decent overall. My main website does go offline a couple of times a month.
Its too expensive for what I am using it for - its though for small startup companies with a lot of recurring expenses
Very good experience and working with them so easier and helpful
They explained it in a way so I understand what I need to do from now on.
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.
The experience is great so far. I noticed that a lot of junk emails come through one of our email accounts: *******@serviceberryglobal.com.
Issue was resolved easily on first contact. No further assistance was needed.
Wordpress is too difficult to use. These "wonder blocks" make no sense. My navigations menus disappear with no warning.
Our website is very simple, but I am working now in the possible enhance of it. So far we haven't had any problems. We are starting to use the email and it is working so far very good.
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.
I cannot change the content. The site will not publish despite telling it to and it acknowledging.
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!
Thank you, nothing much to say at the moment, good work

Answer: SITEGROUND FIXED IN HOURS WHAT HOSTGATOR DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIX IN 9 DAYS
Answer: The chat will get you to someone but they will never know what to do to help you. Courteous but useless.
