Despite these challenges, a significant number of long-term customers express satisfaction and loyalty, indicating that while improvements in customer service are needed, the core offerings are generally well-regarded.

The account is a bit pricey and I was stuck with a Microsoft account that I don't use because the Host Gator agent didn't advise properly relative to domain permissions

I recently transferred my website from one host to HostGator. The entire process was smooth and fast. The HostGator service was really quick in responding and very supportive, which gives me trust for potential future issues. I am happy to have HostGator as my new host. Thank you.
