Price at first. Now it is good service when contacted, great uptime, great features all at a great price. You can quote me on that!
I have contacted support chat twice and both times they said someone from the team will contact me. That was last week and at least 7 days ago. In the meantime, my hosted websites are still down with malware.
www.oaktree.asia and www.bamini.sg
I redirected www.bamini.uk to other hosting services and they are running properly. I would like to know how to fix www.bamini.sg if I am hosting it in hostgator. Please let me know asap. Thks!
I have a good experience with it from 2014
Also 24 Hur support online chat from any country

Through reference. But I have called the technicians as regards the speed and service. Nobody has been helpful.
I have encountered some issues with the domain and security cert. The customer support team helped me out patiently and in a very nice manner! Perfect services!
Hey The,
We just love to help! Thank you for your review!

The service is poor. First they motivate to get unlimited hosting and take lot of money. Later on when we park simple blogs, they put down the hosting. I subscribed for three years but hardly i used it for 6 months.
Price, but the quality of customer service and the quality and performance of HostGator services - especially migration and codeguard are appalling!
Excellent support! Over the last 2 decades I've taught myself many things, but when I get really stuck I know I can go to Hostgator Support and they will bend backwards to help me find the solutions I need. When they can't they are gracious to offer more suggestions that I can check out. In the last 2-3 years I've been trying to learn to set up an eCommerce site. I've run into dead-ends several times, and Support has done their best to help me out. I don't know if I'll learn as much as they know, but I am gaining in experience and persistence in my learning curve.

Hey William,
That is so good to hear! Thank you for choosing HostGator
The process was easy to work with. I has not run into any unexpected issues (other than the default WordPress not working until I disabled all of the default plugins - once I did that, everything worked).
Hey Virgil,

Price and utility. Just doesnt seem to be much in the way of growing improvement or fixing current issues.
Por el momento todo genial.
El soporte técnico debe ser en ESPAÑOL LATINO también.
Quizá puedan capacitar a sus trabajadores o darles el permiso adecuado para responder en español, pues en la mayoría de veces los trabajadores de soporte ténico dicen que no les permiten hablar en español.
Great hosting website, great services and fast response.
Hey Karam,

Terrible support. No help at all. I can not wait to move my business to another company.
They do not solve my problem as it should be, it seems that they do not understand me.
Pixels, pixels, pixels lol
There needs to be a beginner section of how to size pictures, how to retain quality, and understand of file size for ease of opening.
Then trouble shooting, what is after the thumb nail for example is correctly sized and confirmed in file attributes yet it still dose not upload right... all messed up. Perhaps clearing cookies, where else?
Thank you
