The best thing HostGator has is live chat and phone support. Everyone there is responsive and never leaves you without help. So far, for 10 years, they have always managed to solve a problem and help effectively.

I always find the support team very helpful. They always offer timely solution and resolve promptly which I like most. Support does counsel in value added features to run my business. As an industry expert, it hells us a lot who are just new in content writing. It would be good if they could build product like AI tools on business and automation.

All the Host Gator associates were very courteous on the phone & tried very hard to help me. Much of the problem was with me: I do not speak "computer-ese" so had no idea what they were talking about. In addition, many of the associates have accents which were hard for me to understand. (I mean no disrespect to them. I honor them for speaking more than one language. The difficulty is entirely with me who doesn't know what the terms mean.)
Hey Kathleen,
We are so happy we could get you taking care of. Thank you for your review!

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.
