Customer service has been very helpful. I am not well-versed in web design or the running of a website. Customer service reps have helped my learning curve and got my site up and running with little issue.
Nice easy steps to follow for the setup.it gives you more functionality, email management and more.

Affordable, but slow and unreliable. I'm hosting some clients' websites on HostGator just while I develop them, but I would never use HostGator for their live sites.

I am obviously new on Hostgator, it has been fine to date. Few weeks ago I did experience some issues, and tried to reach out, but the response never came, so I had to navigate on my own, until I finally got the issue solved.
Maybe you could improve on your turn around time, I mean it's been over 3 weeks since I logged a query, and there was no response.
Thank you
I had a great experience the representative solved my issues
Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome

HostGator just works. I chose it because it is intuitive and easy to use. These things are even more important than price sometimes, as long as technical support is just a chat or phone call away. Great platform!
Hey Diego,

Answer: SITEGROUND FIXED IN HOURS WHAT HOSTGATOR DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIX IN 9 DAYS
Answer: The chat will get you to someone but they will never know what to do to help you. Courteous but useless.
