All has been excellent...
April 29, 2022

All has been excellent... just an unresolved issue with email remains. If someone would like to contact me to try to figure it out, that would be great.

I've been using hostgator and weebly website builder for 3 years, and it's been easy and convenient to use. I am satisfied with the overall experience and will continue to use the hosting service.

I'm not a techie and I've had difficulties with malware over the years (20 year old website) I am not a commercial enterprise so I don't have the funds to have advanced security tools. My work is mainly as an archivist and sharer of the live recordings I've made. In general hostgator have been pretty good at getting me back online quickly

The online support was very helpful - it was a human who could speak English. The person was patient, understanding, and went the extra mile to resolve the problem. Going the extra mile is what it is all about. It is all to easy to brush of the novice - that didn't happen. Thank you
