This was all new to me so I was sort of lost. What I did was looked up some youtubes, found a guy I could understand, and just had it on my Ipad next to the computer and followed along.

The original setup took way to long. I had to contact support at least 3 times before getting the issue resolved. Then it took longer that usual for my domain to propagate.

I started using HostGator a few days ago. It has been well recommended but although the support team has been really nice, sometimes when I ask for help, I end up with a link for me to investigate and try to understand how to solve my question. For example, I was interested in knowing how to check my emails from my cell phone, and they sent me some links on how to do it, and I started, but I don't know if the info isn't updated or it's just that is something new for me and I just couldn't do it.
I've had a similar question with other platforms, where they provide help, especially when it's someone who is new to the subject, and they either send step-by-step tutorials or stay to help you along the way, checking that your problem is solved. The rest of the experience has been great.

Not just a web host - a team of individuals ready to chat or talk in person when there is a challenge. Thank you so much - our website feels 'at home' with HostGator.
