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
It was great experience and transfer was smooth, good service

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.
Don't like your plug-in, screws everything up but all good when I disabled it
I love host gator company, every thing are works wonderfully 💕.
It was a good experience, and hostgator is easy to use aswell
My experience so far has been good, I have not had a site crash and I am just going to try it with more traffic.
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!
HostGator support is courteous and helpful. They put GoDaddy to shame.
We can't make the contact us work. So people can not email us from the website.
Quick, easy to get started, and excellent price. I am not tech savvy and process was fairly simple.
I never got the verification email: NEXT STEPS
You will receive a verification email requesting confirmation of the domain name and SSL. Verification will not be complete until we receive a response to the email.

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.
