HostGator suits my needs
April 27, 2022

HostGator suits my needs. I am not great with WordPress, but I figured it out and I am just grateful to have control of my site, with no middle-man developer, just a host.

Upon the fixing and readying of my website after it being suspended, the person who I chatted with last helped me very much. I was ultimately the one who fixed the issue though.
