The techs do not listen. Kept sending confirmation emails to a mail box that was not accessible. This caused our site and email to be down for 9 days.
It was pleasant. I was attended to well and my questions were answered.

Extremely poor experience. I had to contact at least 10 times to do a simple job that could have been done in one go. Many of the support providers did not know what they are doing. I have been misguided many times.
Just waited for support to diagnose issue. Took approximately 3 days

I like the fact that with my limited tech knowledge I can do it myself.
No one told me my domain wasn't verified. I had to call twice to finally get the email to verify it.
If tech support had known that my website is HTML, not appropriate for the PHP software upgrade for which I received a notice, then it would have saved a lot of time. I was not able to get my website email and that problem resolved itself.
Answer: SITEGROUND FIXED IN HOURS WHAT HOSTGATOR DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIX IN 9 DAYS
Answer: If you go straight to smartchat, it is very easy - you only need to find the smartchat button. I have worked with the Internet since web browsers were invented, so I know most of the answers already. That means that when I have a problem that I can't solve, it is going to be a real stinker for HostGator support to solve - I only bring them the difficult ones. Recently, I had an ISP who gave me terrible service, and the internet kept dropping out every few minutes. The Hostgator smartchat expert kept contact with me on and of for about an hour and three quarters until he had worked out the answer for me. That is what I call RELIABLE service.
