I have been a Hostgator customer for over Ten years now, and I say VERY sincerely, that I could not speak more highly of the after sales support and service I have received from Hostgator. The service and enthusiasm for my business shown by these people as truly amazing. I regard Hostgator as "the standard all others should try to compete with".
All good and easy setup. Quick responses from customer service
Thanks

The representative quickly identified my issue and promptly took steps to fix it. Clearly explained the timeline in which the correction would take place and all issues were completed exactly as described by the representative. Could not ask for anything better!

I have used HostGator in the past and never had any issues with anything. Before. It is a little bit of a learning curve with creating a website (kind of a clunking looking site) but was able to figure it with so many videos online that actually work with GatorHost and the platform. The thing to me that is really important after reviewing reviews regarding which site is best. Making changes in the design of the website is super quick and publishing them and reviewing and then marking more changes over again is really easy and is such a time saver - that was something that was important to me - getting it tested as quick as possible without any issues is the key. I had a few issues which web searches helped but that was on me for not reading the messages that are provided - I was really thankful that everything was saved as I went along until I figured out what I was doing.

I had an issue with my website and had to rebuild with another platform. When I did this, all the secondary pages had no styling at all. Now, my site was very new so I decided to simply install a new platform... but I kept getting errors... no matter what I did. The agent took care of everything, asking questions, asking for screenshots. Great experience.

Secure server and actually a better price then the non-secure server I had. So far the only draw back has been the offline episodes. I'm guessing that is due to the data network changes.

Hostgator Rocks, Local USA servers if needed for that. SEO is great for loading and easy to use platform.

Recommendation on Youtube.
3/5 Stars because of weird server issues. Server down 09.10.2022 / my Domain was inaccessible?
I was recommended to upgrade my plan because of "lack of space" for uploading media.
In truth, it was a server issue (I had used only ~230mb out of the +900mb that is available). So it was quite infuriating that the recommendation was to upgrade instead of attempting to solve the problem^^ it seemed like it is pushed to get more expensive plans...
Otherwise, helpful support team until now. The abovementioned issue was solved.

Host Gator has the worst service and support possible! Their hosting is extremely slow, while their support is unprofessional! My websites are running very slow and whenever I call a support I get a random guy who doesn't have an idea what to do to solve the problem. If you email or try to talk to a senior position, you get promises that your website will run smoothly in a couple of hours, but at the end you only get empty promises. The slow hosting continues and you lose visitors/customers. Avoid them at all costs!
Hey there,
We want to get you taken care of. We have sent you a private message!
