Customer Service Agents were all very pleasant and easy to work with individually, however I got no warning that to resolve the error I originally faced, my email would be disconnected during DNS propagation, nor that the propagation could take 72hours or more. I was only told the site should be able to publish after 48hours, and when I called in again to ask about my email, the time was extended to 72 hours. Further, the email was not able to be reconnected without yet another change and DNS propagation event after the original site certificate issue was corrected. Overall, I felt information was withheld from me and that I got the runaround to some extent while issues were resolved. If I had been told of the potential disconnect and timelines for those up-front I could have prepared and avoided several embarassing messaging errors between my business and investors.

Staff seem to struggle with answers.
They take too long for something that should be simple.
Have numerous occasions when live chat was down.

It is an amazing experience I am continue getting with Histgator so far. I were a godaddy customer before landing here. Best part of Hostgator is that everything is so clear and concise. Easy to manage dashboard, review account information, managing domain and subdomain. I am safisfy with my switch with Hostgator so far. Thank you.
