Pixels, pixels, pixels lol

Pixels, pixels, pixels lol
There needs to be a beginner section of how to size pictures, how to retain quality, and understand of file size for ease of opening.
Then trouble shooting, what is after the thumb nail for example is correctly sized and confirmed in file attributes yet it still dose not upload right... all messed up. Perhaps clearing cookies, where else?
Thank you

Customer service has been very helpful
April 18, 2022

Customer service has been very helpful. I am not well-versed in web design or the running of a website. Customer service reps have helped my learning curve and got my site up and running with little issue.

Porque está en el ranking de las 10 primeras empresas prestadoras de servicio, tiene buen soporte técnico y desde el principio que la contactamos nos atendieron muy bien sin importar que tan pequeña era nuestra organización.

Affordable, but slow and unreliable
May 18, 2022

Affordable, but slow and unreliable. I'm hosting some clients' websites on HostGator just while I develop them, but I would never use HostGator for their live sites.

I am obviously new on Hostgator, it has been fine to date. Few weeks ago I did experience some issues, and tried to reach out, but the response never came, so I had to navigate on my own, until I finally got the issue solved.
Maybe you could improve on your turn around time, I mean it's been over 3 weeks since I logged a query, and there was no response.
Thank you

HostGator just works
April 18, 2022

HostGator just works. I chose it because it is intuitive and easy to use. These things are even more important than price sometimes, as long as technical support is just a chat or phone call away. Great platform!

We expected to work properly and for the price, but it happened that the data base is always down and the response services of the server usually are too slow
