HostGator Reviews Summary

Overall, the company has established a reputation for providing reliable services and competitive pricing, with many customers noting ease of use and effective technical support. However, concerns regarding customer service persist, particularly related to inconsistent support experiences and delays in response times. While some users have had positive interactions with knowledgeable representatives, others reported frustrations with unresolved issues and inadequate communication. Despite these challenges, a significant number of long-term customers express satisfaction and loyalty, indicating that while improvements in customer service are needed, the core offerings are generally well-regarded.

Our site was down from Saturday until Monday because no SSL was applied. We didn't have e-mail until Tuesday because our MX, CName & TXT records were overwritten and the people I talked to on the phone wouldn't take down what they should be until I finally did around 11 on Tuesday. I couldn't talk to our team because we use Windows server & they don't answer at the support#.

I have contacted support chat twice and both times they said someone from the team will contact me. That was last week and at least 7 days ago. In the meantime, my hosted websites are still down with malware.
www.oaktree.asia and www.bamini.sg
I redirected www.bamini.uk to other hosting services and they are running properly. I would like to know how to fix www.bamini.sg if I am hosting it in hostgator. Please let me know asap. Thks!

The service is poor
May 19, 2022

The service is poor. First they motivate to get unlimited hosting and take lot of money. Later on when we park simple blogs, they put down the hosting. I subscribed for three years but hardly i used it for 6 months.

Price, but the quality of customer service and the quality and performance of HostGator services - especially migration and codeguard are appalling!

Excellent support! Over the last 2 decades I've taught myself many things, but when I get really stuck I know I can go to Hostgator Support and they will bend backwards to help me find the solutions I need. When they can't they are gracious to offer more suggestions that I can check out. In the last 2-3 years I've been trying to learn to set up an eCommerce site. I've run into dead-ends several times, and Support has done their best to help me out. I don't know if I'll learn as much as they know, but I am gaining in experience and persistence in my learning curve.

The process was easy to work with

The process was easy to work with. I has not run into any unexpected issues (other than the default WordPress not working until I disabled all of the default plugins - once I did that, everything worked).

Por el momento todo genial.
El soporte técnico debe ser en ESPAÑOL LATINO también.
Quizá puedan capacitar a sus trabajadores o darles el permiso adecuado para responder en español, pues en la mayoría de veces los trabajadores de soporte ténico dicen que no les permiten hablar en español.
