I have ongoing problems with my site due to a subscription for SiteLock sold to me at twice the market price by Hostgator. The SiteLock subscription was purchased to resolve a major hack. They did a good job with this but since then I have had endless problems. Most have to do with incompatibles with my site registrar Cloudflare and Hostgarot / Sitelock. No one seems to be able resolve the problem.

While I have been generally satisfied with Hostgator the inability to resolve this issue has me looking for a new hosting service.
