Not so speedy sometimes but overall ok. I think after my expiration I'll move to other hosting for price vs speed + tech team help

Front line service not good
July 18, 2024

Front line service not good. Had to go to corporate Newfold to get the job done. Newfold did great work, Host Gator, not so much.

It's been a great experience
July 15, 2024

It's been a great experience. I made all necessary changes to my new server using the chat tool and everything I needed was handled quickly and correctly. It was also nice to receive a few calls from HostGator support checking in to see how things were going. That is Proactive! Highly recommended.

I'm so glad that I host with HostGator because I'm not a website developer or designer, but through talking with customer support I've become familiar with the terminology and process. The support staff are always patient and knowledgeable and I've never felt dumb for asking questions! They always find a solution to my problem, which makes me feel empowered to continue creating more sites with them. I'm really satisfied with my experience!
