I would like to thank all hostgator staff, espesially to the customer service for imediatelly help, and problem solving.
Good_ I will say your chat techs could do a better job of reading the problem described in the initial message. Otherwise why bother entering anything. Seems I usually have to repeat myself

I was very upset, and everyone was professional and helped in the best way they could.
I apologize for being upset. I am new to web design and I am often overwhelmed with simple "back end" issues. I will try to remain calm on future calls. My apologies to the patient and professional women that helped me.

Good, but a little limited when I had some trouble - was a provider issue not a HostGator issue, which is fine. Just would have been good to have been advised earlier in a lengthy conversation.

The operator was able to give me a link to get into my site editor but wasn't able to understand that the link that I should be able to click from the dashboard wasn't working. It is now, thankfully, not sure what the problem was but I had wanted hostgator to be aware of the problem at the time, not sure if it was ever reported that it hadn't been working.
It was prompt, courteous and professional. Very different from the experience we had with a previous hosting service.
Hey James,
We are so glad we could be a better fit. Thank you fo ryour review!

Email is increasing spotty. Financial institutions have reported my email addresses bounce back as undeliverable. I suspect the servers are just over whelmed. No good.
Hey Greg,
We can look into that for you. Give us a call and we will be happy to help!

My sites went down multiple times over two days. Hostgator fixed it, but I wish they had more information available about what was happening, why, and how long.
Hey Bob,
You can always call and ask us what's going on and we will provide you with the most information we can.
