Not the most user friendly site
June 14, 2024

Not the most user friendly site. Our site is outdated and we would like a revamp of it but unsure how to go about making the changes.

I am happy with Hostgator and the service and reminders. The support chat line is the best help and i use it when stuck or the site is down or I have made an error. I don't know what i would do without that.

Had issues - migration done partly without transferring emails, and updated wordpress without transferring original forms - which resulted in data loss

The individual I spoke with was very helpful and professional. I was questioning charges on our account that did not relate to us. She easily assisted me by answering all my questions and deleting the charges.

I wanted the primary domain moved as I don't have it any more and was told it can't be done. I think I'll let this year run and leave which is a shame as I've been the HG for years.

I have 2 websites but was informed I could only use "sitebuilder" for one of them. I have accepted the explanation but not very pleased. The support person was helpful and friendly.
