Overall, the company has established a reputation for providing reliable services and competitive pricing, with many customers noting ease of use and effective technical support.

While some users have had positive interactions with knowledgeable representatives, others reported frustrations with unresolved issues and inadequate communication. 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.

I saw a website that was a tutorial and several sites had Hostgator as friendly to new website builders.

Since starting my hosting with HostGator I have been inundated with unsolicited phone calls to my personal phone at a rate of 3 per hour. I didn't intend for you to share that personal information and I find this to be an invasion of my privacy.

Hey William,

We definitely do not share your personal information. It sounds like you don't have domain privacy. We have asked an Escalations Manager to reach out and explain it better.

I wanted to get my domain name and website hosting at the same time. I also found a great looking affiliate link and tutorial on collegeinfogeeks.com.

Been with them for 11 years. They no longer have any reputable Tech Support: My income sites have been dead for days. Tech Suppt lies to me and does NOTHING.
