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 -- keep running into disk quota issues and I only need to INCREASE disk quota but you require TOTAL plan upgrade! HORRIBLE!
Hard to learn something new, especially with zero experience but the support was helpful.
Hey Jarett,

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.

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!
Hey Martha,
That friend made a good recommendation. Thank you for your review!

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.
Hey Jeff,
We are so happy we could help! Thank you for your review!

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.
