It took me over one hour before tech support said there was an outage in Hostgator. This should be checked first before having me go through what was potentially wrong with our website.

HostGator has periodically taken my site down for no apparent reason. It is stressful and annoying to have to work with them to bring it back up.

At first, I met some difficulties, not being a technician, I had to figure out why Hostgator wasn't optimal for my websites. It seems that some updates of Wordpress and plugins fixed everything and now I have no complaint to formulate.
