Purchased a domain and hosting packages and waited 5 hours to see my domain in action. Contacted customer support and came to know that may take up to 24 hours!

I was recommended HostGator by several people after using various over hosting and domain services over the last 15 years and unfortunately the service has left a lot to be desired!
I deliberately bought my new domain directly through yourselves as well as the hosting to make it a seamless process however that hasn't been the case!
In over 15 years of creating websites for my businesses I have never waited more than an hour to be able to use my wordpress interface, however with HostGator I am still waiting for you to activate my new domain something which is instant with most providers.
It's safe to say that I am very unhappy with this service so far! I am working to tight deadlines on this project and this is unacceptable.

You have the option to create your own website and don't have to spend way too much. Great pricing structure for sure. I also liked the emphasis put on how there is good customer service support, have that available to you fast. That is very important.

I am finding the website very confusing and hard to find what I need. I spent hours yesterday and got nowhere. There is so much info and new terminology I am finding it overwhelming.

Is easy to use and Taylor is a good teacher. We are very satisfied on our new website, it created by ourselves. Thankfully to Host Gator for giving opportunity to build our own website.
