Websites these days can be a little intimidating for us hobbyists. HostGator Tech Thanusha fixed my problem almost immediately, pointed me to some information and instructions, and got me settled in just a few minutes.
Stupidity. You offered a cheap hosting package. It's been a nightmare ever since.
Hey Betsy,
Oh no. We don't want you to feel that way. We have asked an Escalations Manager to reach out once they get the chance.

My sites are down and I am still being charged. I was told to optimize, but cannot due to a PHP limit. I deleted sited thinking this would help and it has not so far been unlocked.

Overall, the experience is good as a Windows Hosting package, but there are items missing such as the ability to access my MSSQL database via Plesk. This is forcing me now to obtain hosting from another provider (SMARTERASP.NET) as they do provide this feature. I had contacted Hostgator about this, but got no result.
Hey Nabil,

Your service is super bad. I always have problem with my SSL even after I renew it. It was a bad choice picking your service.
