There was a glitch in my website where I kept getting error messages, and then all my blog content was lost. One phone call and they were able to run some diagnostics, fix the glitch and recover my content. Very pleased.

Still having issues
June 4, 2022

I am still having issues with sent emails, through Google) ending up in the recipients Spam folder. I found on the Google site what I thought might help resolve it and the Host Gator support tech helped me make the changes suggested but I (and my employees) are still having the issue. There is still some "finger pointing" going on between Google and HostGator.

Disappointed at best
June 4, 2022

I have had nothing but problems with hostgator. We upgraded our services to the VPS package and the service diminished even more. If you look at our account, we were and are plagued with nothing but issues. We lost several clients because of the responses and services that provided.
