All good, great experience all around. Completely satisfied.
I needed to get my back office up and running…I was referred to to an outside source who was able to fix it…Thank You
The customer support was very prompt and knowledgeable. My request was served
Very helpful and fixed my issue.
Would highly recommend these guys
It's been nice so far I feel safe and my data secure. I love it so far
The overall experience is good. Just the price that is expensive I think
They were helpful and professional on setup. Had all of the things I needed to get my site up
Although I had to contact them several times and for a couple of weeks, the access problem was finally resolved.
Easy to use registration and admin portal. Used it with no previous experience and had no problems
Just had problems paying which was sorted after a few attempts, but meant me explaining it each time.
I am a light user. I have a blog where I post two or three times a week. It is not a blog that I advertise. Half a dozen (or less) friends know that it exists. For my uses, I have only one complaint: supposedly my blog should be accessed by my_blog.com (fictitious name), but it only works with my_blog.com/home. I tried all the tricks in the book to remove /home, that I could find, without success.
It would be better without the frequently pointless emails
My experience with HostGator in technical issue is good, but in payment issue not good, many time I receive wrong invoices.

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