Over the past few years I have helped several people start their journey in setting up an online presence. It started with a few non-profit organizations and then grew into developing commercial platforms. When it came down to selecting the best webhost, HostGator always proved to be the best choice. HostGator has an amazing selection of hosting plans that meet or exceed expectations. From their most basic shared hosting plan to the more advanced ProHosting options, customers will receive all of the tools needed to quickly set up a website at an affordable price. Their self-hosting and managed plans guide you through the necessary steps to build and deploy a high quality site. HostGator has a robust customer support system using chat, phone calls and email to assist customers when questions or issues arise. There are a lot of options when it comes to picking a webhost but HostGator always rises to the top when factoring in the standard features included, consistent uptime and low cost.
My website was down, and HG support was able to identity the issue and tell me exactly what to do to fix it within minutes. Thank you
My experience was insightful. My representative made me aware that my website was not redirecting to the landing page that I was intending and gave me some tips on how to resolve the problem.
Is not as advertise misleading price, not good practice
Thank you, I like the services and I'm used to the system.
Efficient and effective in resolving my request. Excellent skills set
Glad we chose HostGator. Customer service has been great. There's been no hickups so far.
Thanks for a speedy and successful solution I can see my website now.
I have to say that I am thrilled to be working with HostGator. Mark, my representative today, was friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. Mark patiently attended a three-way call with GoDaddy to migrate my website to a HostGator account. I had a horrible experience with my previous host and Mark was able to resolve the issue in one phone call. Thank you so much! I look forward to a long business relationship with HostGator.
SherryMae handled everything like a true pro! She was patient and polite and it made everything smooth!
I very much appreciate your response time whenever I reach out to you and not only that, you also have great support team with good sense of humour.
The customer care representative was absolutely helpful, they new exactly what I needed and helped in a timely manner
I have had my domain for 6 weeks, and have been on calls with customer service for 28.5 hours to get my account fixed, and I am still not up and running!
Almost a good experience in all respects, in addition to good technical support
I have been using hostgator for over 4 years and the service is simply the best while the live support is second to none.
Your support staff is among the best. So patient and kind. Nothing will ever replace a live person with knowledge to help lame people like me.
Used Text support today! Went well. Person texting was properly informed of company's in and outs.
