Support team is amazing
April 15, 2022

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

Used it for yonks, and rarely have issues. Wouldn't risk switching to another host, who could top this? ;)

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.

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

I just logged in to transfer my domain to another company because tech support told me it was the ONLY way to manage my concern.

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.
