I'm not a techie and I've had difficulties with malware over the years (20 year old website) I am not a commercial enterprise so I don't have the funds to have advanced security tools. My work is mainly as an archivist and sharer of the live recordings I've made. In general hostgator have been pretty good at getting me back online quickly

The online support was very helpful - it was a human who could speak English. The person was patient, understanding, and went the extra mile to resolve the problem. Going the extra mile is what it is all about. It is all to easy to brush of the novice - that didn't happen. Thank you

I wanted to change the main domain name. First contact with the support team, the technician did half job, meaning the domain name was changed. But after more than 48 hours, my site was still showing ERROR 404. I had to contact the support team to fix that issue.
But in general, very goos service

Answer: The chat will get you to someone but they will never know what to do to help you. Courteous but useless.
