Drake fixed it all!
February 10, 2022
Updated review

Drake fixed it all! It was an awesome experience and I cannot say enough about the guy I talked to. He was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, easy to understand and incredibly helpful. This is already a much better experience than GoDaddy.

Ever since signing up with HostGator I get at least 5 spam calls per hour on my cell phone, plus another 10+ "let me help you build your website" emails a day. It's overwhelming.

The price was good and you used to be a better company with better hosting and platforms. Now id like to even move my domain registration away from you as you raise the price each year.

Your site is fraudulent
March 9, 2022

Your site is fraudulent. Automatic charge without consent on renewal and non-refundable is how you lose clients.

It has hosting domains

It has hosting domains. But it is very confusing to use and I cannot even access my "WordPress site" which I did not want in the first place.
