Your feedback and customer assistance is too poor, billings info don't get to customer on time and you block off e-mails without prior notice,

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
Hey Claudine,
Let us take a look into the Microsoft issue and see if we can fix that.

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.
Hey Tara,

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.
