Good that site content was transferred over without issues. A bit confusing in relation to directions to complete the move.

I've asked several times what i have been charged for and nobody responds. I had an autopay charge of $250. I believe i'm paying for a service that you no longer provide me. I just want to clear it up and cancel this autopay so it doesn't happen again, but nobody responds to my question.

Received 2 emails from billing with different amounts, confusing. Started using HostGator yesterday using YouTube videos I found. Installed WordPress per video, then plugin Elementor per video. Starting to get confused. Today I get your welcome email with tutorials list. Wish I could go back and start from scratch.

The support team over chat was very helpful and fast. I rarely have a problem with Hostgator and whenever I can't figure something out on my own the support solves it or explains it almost immediately.

I did have a problem with wp form (would not deliver in my box) many many tries. I chated with gator support. They sent my request on to wordpress support with no response after 5 days, I ended up paying fixrunner to fix it, which in the end did not solve the problem. That was my only complaint with gator, that they sent me on to wordpress... which did not happen... twice.

Because it's the only web hosting provider that I have never had a problem that they couldn't solve in minutes. If there are any issues, anyways. Hostgator is the best.
