I was having technical issues with my previous host.
Hey Janel,
We would love to know why we got rated so low. We have asked an Escalations Manager to reach out and make sure everything is okay.

Consistently in the top 10. A little clunky to navigate (for a novice like me) and lots of "added features" that cost extra...
Unable to log in a couple of hours ago as well, hence the 3 stars so far

I created an account but it is now 30 hours that my cpanel is not active. I also cannot start a live chat.

This does not sound right. We definitely want to look into this and get it resolved as quickly as possible. Our escalations team will be in touch soon to do just that. Thank you for letting us know!

It is as bad as a scam. We bought dedicated server from hostgator and we have been having issues after issues in setting up our domains. Their support guys are clueless and poorly trained, so they always deviate from the real issues by providing irrelevant and false information. They used to be much better in the past, but seems like their services have sharply declined recently.
