I have tried to set up an additional domain name for a new website that I am creating. I was charged the fee for the 2-year plan but now when I try to access it gator.com is showing it as not registered. I reached out to customer service/ tech support and was told it should be updated in 24 hours, but that has not happened either.
I didn't. I cancelled and your customer service is horrible
Hey Kaneicia,
We are sorry to hear that you cancelled but we wish you luck with your future hosting endeavors.

Answer: SITEGROUND FIXED IN HOURS WHAT HOSTGATOR DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIX IN 9 DAYS
Answer: The chat will get you to someone but they will never know what to do to help you. Courteous but useless.
