Your support is extremely poor. I tried several time to chat with a person with my problem but I did not find any. Waiting waiting and waiting. Even there is no emailing system. Very fade up.
Great customer service via phone. Chat isn't the best.

I didn't have a specific reason in particular, though the starting discount proved a good argument.

I chose HostGator because it was advertised as the Best and Easiest way to create and host your website.
For me it's only been frustrating to the point that I don't even want to try anymore.
I can't afford to have a site built so I will approach other avenues to achieve my goals.

Easy to use and I figured I have enough experience with WordPress to compare. It's just as easy.

I forgot my pin. They asked for a new email to verify. 2 days letter. They have asked me for a court letter from a judge. Bank statements. Articles of incorporation. Business licenses. I have been hung up on twice. Promised to be called by managers - no responses. I have told them I need my email to work for critical work issues, and for my kids school. No response. Its a holiday weekend and they are still asking for more and more information. They told me to pay more for more storage and that would solve the issue. I paid more money it didn't work - but they asked me for a court order from a judge to prove I am the owner of the company. Unbelievable. Run don't ever do business with this company - their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced in my life on this planet. Not even close.
Hey Mark,

Host Gator has no clue how to handle a server updgrade. Our VPS server was down for 33hrs while the tech support kept saying 5-30min. They had no insight or updates, just "we're performing a migration to upgrade". After 33hrs of downtime the server was back up for about 24hrs and now it's down again. Tech support said the migration will be over "today". So, that's another day of missed revenue and angry clients. 4 days to perform a migration is just awful. Once the server is back up I'm getting a refund and moving my sites elsewhere.
Hey James,
We would love to make sure things are fixed. We have asked for more information so we can better assist.

Nearly no one at tech support knows what is going on with anything at all. The one consistent answer is, I don't know what went wrong but it will take 7 business days before it will be fixed. This went on for well over a month. 6 weeks and then I finally had enough. Nearly every tech support person didn't know what was going on, they couldn't fix it, I was often hung up on when they realized it wasn't going well, and those who stayed until we finished the call pleaded for a great review. Ugh.
I have used it in the past for other websites and I really like how helpful the customer service can be.

So I've had hostgator for about 2 years and had no problems but then my business name changed and I've had all these problems and nothing working. Ive needed help every day since and no one fixes the problem. The answers I get are it will take 2-4 hrs and the site will work and its been over a week and still the same problem.

Answer: SITEGROUND FIXED IN HOURS WHAT HOSTGATOR DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIX IN 9 DAYS
Answer: The chat will get you to someone but they will never know what to do to help you. Courteous but useless.
