Not sure why
April 19, 2022

Not sure why. It was just the first one I tried and it seems to be working well.

You stole my money by doubling the payment on my card statement and the support team will just play around not to pay. I'm yet to complain to Trust Pilot with less than one start if there is.

Too many issues needed to upgrade VPS
May 19, 2022

Too many issues needed to upgrade VPS -- keep running into disk quota issues and I only need to INCREASE disk quota but you require TOTAL plan upgrade! HORRIBLE!

I saw an ad for it I believe on YouTube, and once I tried it I was hooked. It is a very easy-to-use platform, and the tools and features were perfect for what I'm trying to do moving forward.

Reliability for Years
April 19, 2022

I've hosted many sites and subdomains with Hostgator. There was never a problem that I didn't get a solution for, quickly! I highly recommend Hostgator. Oh yeah, their prices are the best.

Changes overwritten
May 19, 2022

A few weeks ago, I spent hours making changes to my website and publishing the changes. Somehow, the site reverted to an older version and some of the changes were lost - specifically the SSL code was lost. So frustrating!

I did not appreciate the email which included: "If you do not agree, you can choose to discontinue using the products and services, and close your cPanel account." If I thought HostGator would make changes and only give me the option of "accept it" or "close it", I surely would have taken my business elsewhere. Now is not the time for me to make changes. As to the link offered for a summary of the changes --- it made little sense as far an explanation for what you are doing.

I contacted HostGator for help in changing a setting required by the provider of our school website because I was unable to connect to the cpanel. The HostGator rep was able to change the setting for us.
