I upgraded my site and needed complex access for the design and developer team and you staff were very helpful. I also was able to clarify the level of service needed.

I love hostgator, I'd recommend it to people. Chanel is easy, I pretty much use it for my test sites, demo and once and a while I get someone who wants me to host a site. I've never had a problem and pricing is reasonable.

Thanks,
Tom

I've had a Hostgator Baby Hosting package for several years. Originally I designated one of the domains I owned as my primary domain, but recently I let that domain expire. So I called Hostgator and requested that they change my primary domain to a domain that I still owned. They carried out my request, but a few days later when I tried bringing up my remaining domains on the Internet, they weren't showing up properly. I called Hostgator back and found out that my request had actually not been necessary (due to a misunderstanding on my part as to how primary domain setups work), and that's why things didn't turn out right. The Hostgator techs used a cPanel backup to get everything back to normal and in the end it all turned out fine. Thanks, Hostgator.
