It took much longer than expected to resolve the DNS service failure, but after almost 4 weeks it was resolved.

Ever since my provider became HostGator about 20 years ago I've always had a good relationship except when I was losing webpages and that may have been my fault. But every time I've called I've got a real person who has helped me get my website back on track.

Couldn't get domain to point to website. Only after moving the domain to another registrant did the website start working properly.

I had several phone conversations with different support representatives to correct the site problem. The
Problem was they did not review prior conversations and emails regarding the problem and some made snap decisions which did not resolve the problem.

It finally took a CSR who took the time to review all the correspondence and resolve the problem
