Domain not connecting
March 16, 2023

I bought the domain from Hostgator to use with hosting package I bought from Hostgator and the domain is not connecting with the package—I spent an hour or more on chat and phone trying to get things straightened out to no avail.

Until now I have had a good hosting service. The system works properly well and haven't encountered any server problems since I bought the packages.

The representative was clear that my cancellation is complete and that there would be no further charges, so I'm pleased with their response.

Good service and very reliable support
February 12, 2023

I´ve choosed Hostgator in 2017 when I started my blog, and have been with them since then.
The Support team is the best, they always solved my issues swiftly.
Also it´s super useful that it can be reached by chat since English isn´t my first language and I don´t understand it very well by phone.
My blog grew into a nice business and never went offline (except for the times I´ve messed it up :P )
Great work HostGator!

Great hosting company and service
February 11, 2023

I am dyslexic and hosting can be a nightmare if the service provider only has a few services in a user account, fortunately, everything I need is accessible from one account, easy to find, and easy to use, if my dyslexia is misguiding me and I cannot find something then I have found their chat/help to be very quick, no fuss and problems are solved quickly by a polite support team. They make my life so much easier that's for sure.

Great service
February 11, 2023

I've been using Hostgator for over three years to host a Wordpress site on a VPS. When my initial 3 year agreement came to an end, I continued with them because of the consistent, quick and helpful customer chat support.
Since I sell products on my site, I need to keep it PCI compliant, and whenever issues have arisen, Hostgator has been quick and thorough to resolve and PCI issues. And I have no problem maintaining perfect 100 scores LightHouse scores thanks to Hostgator and WP-Rocket and WP-Rocket's CDN.

HostGator - Poor customer service
March 11, 2023

Customer support is extremely difficult to work with. You have to wait a long time and then the operator does not necessarily have the expertise to answer your question or solve your problem.
