Despite these challenges, a significant number of long-term customers express satisfaction and loyalty, indicating that while improvements in customer service are needed, the core offerings are generally well-regarded.

No email was sent to me to inform me about due payment and when the service was disrupted I found your email in the junk folder

MIgration a server of accounts is a very painful process, entering each and every account detail whereas I have root access to all accounts that need transfering. Also, there is no way for me to see the progress on the transfers.

Low cost. Having issues with passwords. Not sure if I need a different one for word press. Not going smoothly at all.

I was going through a guide to building a website from college info geek creator Thomas J Frank and he had a discount for Hostgator in his instructions. Also, when I did an internet search myself on Hostgator rankings it had some good reviews compared to a few other hosts. I was pretty excited about getting my website going and didn't want to lose my nerve so I bought it pretty quickly.

I encouraged a client to sign up with Host Gator (I'm usually a GoDaddy fan... this was my first time referring someone to Host Gator). As soon as I got into the WordPress dashboard, I updated the WordPress version and plug-ins and got a fatal error. I'm back on the phone with tech support instead of doing real work.
