My site has been down multiple times and receiving 503 errors where it is unavailable to update the site. Also loading the site takes a while and the website does not have any heavy content.

I am going on the 5th call to get my emails
May 17, 2022

I am going on the 5th call to get my emails. Administrative issues at Hostgator are seriously impacting my livelyhood. Would not recommend at this point. I have been a customer since 2008, but apparently not good enough to get some critical support.

Price and ease of management were the main initial factors but the customer service via phone has been outstanding as well.

Good experience on Hostgater
April 17, 2022

Good experience on Hostgater. Just wish that the login was faster. Used to be able to click straight to cPanel - now got to go through other screens first. Also, it's a cumbersome task in phpAdmin to "Show All" in my lists - have to first go to settings and allow and only then can I choose "Show All". Also, it keeps resetting which is a bit aggravating - going through the same process every day...

I had an excellent experience with one by if your customer representatives when I was trying to determine why the emails from my home email account weren't going through to my business email account. Also he helped me to remove an unneeded service from my account.
