I was hoping this was really easy because of the cheap, but instead i'm getting a bad response and attention from you, your vague manual is not ready for the product i purchase neither your team to solve this package
I purchased hosting package with one free domain. But I can still see domain is available for purchase and i am not able to see this in hostgator... Very frustrating and not promising..

Ever since signing up with HostGator I get at least 5 spam calls per hour on my cell phone, plus another 10+ "let me help you build your website" emails a day. It's overwhelming.

The price was good and you used to be a better company with better hosting and platforms. Now id like to even move my domain registration away from you as you raise the price each year.

Your site is fraudulent. Automatic charge without consent on renewal and non-refundable is how you lose clients.

It has hosting domains. But it is very confusing to use and I cannot even access my "WordPress site" which I did not want in the first place.
