Tyler Moore did convince me to choose HostGator with his discount he offered on his youtube channel. But, until now, I think the platform is so well organized and easy to use. I will probably upgrade my hosting soon if I get more clients. Thank you very much

Don't have separate areas of the company so when you expect to get one type of service you get something completely different if you make a mistake.

I was locked out of my website yesterday and I do not know why. I was asked to change my my password and entered the same one I had before and Host Gator accepted it. I find this strange. Most sites will not accept the same password that was used before. I hope I can get back to editing my site. doodlegugsstudio.com
