Simple and straightforward
December 9, 2022

Simple and straightforward. Just what I needed. Recently transferred from a different Host, whose prices have crept up over the years and the customer service has tanked. Read good things about HostGator and so far, I'm extremely happy.

Support is great
December 8, 2022

I was having some issues with my website images. Mr Sharath does a splendid job to solve my issues. I was seeking help for the last two days, but no one was able to help me except Mr Sharath. He is a great guy for support.

Overall HG experience is good for me, and I recommend it.

Support for moving a website to HTTPS
December 1, 2022

Hi, I'm a web developer specializing in the internet field, I received support from you in transferring a website to HTTPS and I just enjoyed the kind, patient, smiling and good service,
As a seasoned developer I can say that one of the most important things in hosting services is support. Is there support? Good storage service! Nothing? Don't get close
I really enjoyed (and especially) your representative (whose name I don't even know) I would like you to know who I spoke to why he is simply excellent!
Have a good day
