Because a friend told me that hostgator was better than godaddy
I chose hostgator because I thought after researching it was the right company for me. Upon providing my business to them they dont care about me or the services that I have with them. Im just another customer who customer service treat like crap.
I liked the monthly rate and the support is amazing compared to being at GoDaddy. The best move I ever made!
Hi Patty,
Thank you for being apart of the HostGator community!

Quite confusing at times but I put that down to the fact that I am 77 and can no longer concentrate well on technical subjects.
Hi Frank,

My site has crash or been inaccessible now 6times in as many months. They keep saying its fixed and it crashes again. I offered to pay for the SSL, but was told the free one was just fine. The hosting service has t been terrible.

Even though I've updated the PhP my site still gives me an error to update it. And for some reason I'm getting a "You Don't Have Permission to Access this page" even though I'm the only one on the account. Also, you're "Chat" is a joke. You know it's probably a chat bot and it never appears.
Bull$#*!
Hey Steven,
We don't have chat bots. They are all live people. We will take a look into this and see what we can do.

My cousin told me about you. He said you were probably the best -- better than Go Daddy.
Hey Fred,
Your cousin is a smart cookie! Thank you for choosing HostGator.

It takes your team too long to solve issues; I was told that renewing a simple SSL certificate was going to take 24 hours and it has taken over five days. I spoke with several representatives and that last one talk to was the one who updated the certificate; however, the issue of not having a secure website still persist after two days.
Hey Francisco,
We try to handle things as quickly as possible. We will have someone reach out and assist.

I have three sites only one up and it took over a 6 months with customer support to complete the migration to Hostgator. The second one I and my web associate spent another half year trying to get it established. It is now a year and it is still not functioning. So NO I do not think after spending literally hundreds of hours working on this, with no success even one star is to much. I could not be more upset!
Hey Phillip,
We need to look into this. That doesn't sound like an ideal experience. We will be reaching out.

HostGator was recommended to me by an affiliate marketer. I got it because I didn't know any better. It's just difficult to navigate.
Hey Ruth,
We would love to help. We will be in contact soon.
