I have been trying to get my website SSL fixed that was issued through HostGator and every time I've called I've either been disconnected or placed on eternal holds just to be told that they will need to have a manager look at the problem because it is beyond the rep. On the phone, ability to handle the issue. So then they never got back to me until my 5th successful not disconnected call I finally got a manager to reply via email and his email contained instructions on how to fix the issue! Lol are you kidding me why just fix it and write me what you did to fix it instead of how i can DIY the issue. Its just sad i regret ever switching to HostGator I have lost tons of business and am very displeased that they careless about their customers ability to use their product which is paid for in advanced for the year and a top tier plan at that.

En consideración del tiempo, el servicio de hosting no es malo, lo malo es el servicio al cliente.

It's a pain to find out how much I am paying for Sitelock, how I got subscribed and I have tried to cancel multiple times but I keep getting emails like it is active and I assume it probably is and I am paying for it.

Have been with Hostgator for many years. But since a problem arose, they have been absolutely awful, it is now over 6 weeks later, my website is down and they are doing nothing fast to fix it. Support only passes on messages, nothing gets done!

Hostgator has changed too much, i would consider it now the worst host. We've spent the last 3 months moving over 32,000 domains and 4 VPS servers away from hostgator, disappointing
