Can't remember why I chose HostGator, it's been so long ago. I will say I've had no problems with my hosting accounts in the 10+ years I've been using your services.

I have been asking for support for 3 months and no one has given me an answer. I will give them to pkner with capital letters. WHEN I ENTER MY WEB PAGE TO MODIFY OR EDIT, IT TELL ME THAT THE PAGE DOES NOT EXIST. WHO IS GOING TO GIVE ME A SOLUTION? THE BAD THING OF PAYING IN ADVANCE, ANY MISTAKE AND NOBODY GIVES A SOLUTION. EVEN WHEN

Awesome customer service
May 13, 2022

I came over to HostGator from another hosting service I've been with for over 10 years. I'm impressed with how easy it was to make the move. They made it easy. Everything from a great cPanel experience, user guides, and even offering to help move my site make it a great choice! They even called me to make sure things were good. You can't get any better than this!

20 years ago. Back then it was the comprehensive offerings. Now it is speed, price, and mostly your HIGH-END people. Great Service from Everyone at Hostgator. Please keep it up even though it's hard these days!
