New website
May 26, 2024

I was very impressed with the finished product! After giving my ideas of what I wanted to do, a site I was very happy with was developed. I only had to call twice for minor changes I wanted to make, and they were done quickly. A pleasant experience!

Support has been excellent

Support has been excellent. I had an issue with a plugin that caused things to display incorrectly. They fixed that for me and helped me identify which plugin was causing the problem.

FR- La plateforme globale proposée par Hostgator est assez complète. Elle est largement suffisante pour mon site professionnel. Il y a eu deux ou trois expériences ayant nécessité l'aide du service support. Notamment pour le HTTPS et plus récemment pour accéder aux emails, suite à une mise a jour de votre fonctionnement en décembre 2023. Globalement a ce jour tout fonctionne et le service support a été efficace.
Parfois les messages promotionnel ne sont pas assez clair pour moi, et dans le doute je ne souscris pas.
