HostGator is fully wind-powered, unlike some of the competition, and is not locking us to WordPress only

Both of these are great!

Easy control panel, but it seems they've made it complicated, so I' m not so sure if I will continue to use it.

Better, issue was resolved by technical representative but still worrying because 250 MB memory size is low, at least should be 350 to 500 MB

So far so good. I had an issue getting setup on FTP but your customer service helped me. I enjoy being able to talk to someone on the phone rather than a chat window.
