Support team is amazing. We had some issues connecting our domain from name.com to hostgator so we were live chatting with you guys and got immediate response every time, while with name.com we never got that & it was annoying us. Thanks

Just overall more help with the technical side of things from support versus trying to rush us out of chat when we're looking to get something done then & there.
My previous provider went out of business with no warning...

I chose HostGator because of the price and have had nothing but problems. Website down for over a week at a time while trying to get tech support to fix the problems. Will not renew
Easy to use and your tech support is the best there is. They actually answer a phone and quickly help people with tech issues. Please never stop doing that.

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.
