We thought the server is good. After subscribing it, we found that service is not good.
Godaddy failed me. As well as linode who I hosted with for over 10 years.

Support team is amazing. We had some issues connecting our domain from name.com to hostgator so we were live chatting with you guys and got immediate response every time, while with name.com we never got that & it was annoying us. Thanks

Just overall more help with the technical side of things from support versus trying to rush us out of chat when we're looking to get something done then & there.
My previous provider went out of business with no warning...

Simplicity and rapidity, everything went smoothly. The domain transfer was a very straighforward process.

I chose HostGator because of the price and have had nothing but problems. Website down for over a week at a time while trying to get tech support to fix the problems. Will not renew
I just logged in to transfer my domain to another company because tech support told me it was the ONLY way to manage my concern.
Easy to use and your tech support is the best there is. They actually answer a phone and quickly help people with tech issues. Please never stop doing that.

I chose hostgator because I thought after researching it was the right company for me. Upon providing my business to them they dont care about me or the services that I have with them. Im just another customer who customer service treat like crap.
I liked the monthly rate and the support is amazing compared to being at GoDaddy. The best move I ever made!
