I bought hosting and domain 5 hours ago, the domain does not work. I can't find any help to sort out the domain issue. Quite disappointment.
I updated my credit card and still been getting notifications that my account is past due it's very frustrating

I have made 4 calls and hours ont he line with various technicians to complete my website migration, it is still not completed. Somehow Hostgator has scrambled my account with someone else. Everyone is so nice but I don't understand the lack of competence. I've already paid you and I not only want to take my business somewhere else, just want to cry at this point. I don't understand how this can be so hard for a company that specializes in these transactions. Please HELP.

Since creating my account, the hosting package has been pending. I spoke to someone over live chat who said it would take 2 hours just to process. 4 hours later nothing had changed so spoke to another person who then said it would take upto 8 hours. It has now been 15 hours and again nothing has changed I still cant access or do anything. For the amount of money spent I would expect much better service.
Hey Ben,
We hate to hear you had issues. We would have loved to help get this fixed but it turns out you cancelled your account. We do wish you luck on your future hosting endeavors.
