They canceled my account for no reason and then they claimed that there was no such site hosted on HostGator! Assholes!

HostGator have the greatest support team I ever worked with and their plans are very very good for their prices

I would not have left Host Gator if I wasn’t tight on money at the time.

They have rock solid LAMP servers. Even on a shared hosting plan, I have made the front page of Digg, Reddit, and Delicious all at the same time and not gone down. In a year I’ve had exactly two issues, both of which were resolved within a couple of hours.

I’ve been really happy with Hostgator, unlimited addon domains, unlimited mysqsl databases, cpanel with fantastico and fast support
Jason wrote on December 14, 2008
Great support and 99.9% of the time I have not had any issues. I had a server problem one morning, but they had it reset in about a half hour. I called, but they were in the process of figuring it out. I wish they offered a little more reseller space…

Great support

My site has been up for almost a year now. When I first started, it was my first website, so I already had a lot of questions to ask about actually getting it up and going. Luckily, the first few days were a breeze. They were speedy in finding a solution, and were not frustrated at my ignorance. All I had to do was click on a live chat button and I was in the immediate attention of a support personnel. After those initial hours of setting up, followed by a few days of studying online how to run a site, I never once needed support again. The site has not once failed me yet. Also, the control panel is such an easy tool to understand and use. Installing software to my site can be done from anywhere, with or without an FTP client. The host supports a multitude of languages, software, and other necessities demanded of a host in this era of the Internet. Very pleased.

Been with Hostgator for about 10 months now. 1 issue that was resolved with a server restart and I was back up in about 20 minutes total. Switching my second account from midphase to hostgator.

superb!

DO NOT USE HOSTGATOR!!!!! After 2 years they called and rudely told me to backup my server and they were closing my account in 24 hours. I was forced to upgrade to a dedicated server even though my traffic was at an all time low. I did just to keep my sites onlin eand it took them 4 days to move my sites. They were smart enuff to leave the semi-ded account on while they made the switch. It then took 2 weeks to get all the sites up and then they just couldnt handle me pointing out all the bugs and how stupid there supprt staff was and called and told me to leave after 2 years. Not good business.

Server seems fast. I host a wordpress site, and everything has been good so far (about 6 months).

Great value At Hostagator but I had a problem with support
Sunaryo Hadi wrote on February 2, 2009
So far, I haven’t any complaint yet
Angel R. wrote on February 7, 2009
I feel that Host Gator is one of the better hosting sites out there.
I have used them in the past and I feel that they are one of the stronger companies as far as customer service.
Lyn wrote on February 8, 2009
DON’T GO THERE. They put over 1000 sites on a server. If you dare go near your (PAID FOR) limits, they throw you on to a dedicated server and want you to pay for it. Read the other negatives here. They are very accurate.
MartyMart wrote on February 9, 2009
Decent value host. They have most of the features that anyone would need, at a great price. If your traffic is large, you might consider a higher-priced host, though.
wart remover wrote on February 12, 2009
I tried host gator for about 1 week and ended up cancelling the account. customer service was hard to get ahold of and their interface didn’t have the installs that i needed.
Rick Blythe wrote on February 13, 2009
Great all around hosting service. Don’t go with a small fly-by-night operator, get something decent like these guys, but still at a great rate.
Karen Goyal wrote on February 14, 2009
We have used Hostgator since 2003 and everything has always been stable. They take care of things pretty fast once the issue is sent to them via their support system. I have had both shared hosting accounts as well as a dedicated server. No Compliants.
FreeWeb wrote on February 23, 2009
I’ve been a Hostgator customer since 2001 and they have never let me down. Their live support is always friendly and above all very professional.
Mark Upon wrote on February 23, 2009
I am using Hostgator for past 2 years and I find no problem with them and their support staff are really superb with good uptime.. The features are normal as other hosts but the maintainence is really Cool!
Dan wrote on February 25, 2009
I use HostGator for all of the accounts I setup for clients.
Dave Reynolds wrote on February 28, 2009
Support is poor and “Live Chat” is abysmal. Quite honestly I wouldn’t recommend this bunch if you were my worst enemy.
Bill wrote on March 3, 2009
I use both Lunar Pages and Hostgator and Hostgator has been very easy to work with and no real need to even try their support function yet.
JT Media wrote on March 11, 2009
HostGator is actually a total nightmare. I have been with them for a month (I’m moving my websites as I type this) and I’m looking at 48 hrs of downtime and hostgator is trying to tell me this is not happening. Here’s how it goes.
MPS wrote on March 12, 2009
I tried them temporarily just to test.. service was ok, but could not get ahold of support.
John wrote on March 13, 2009
love the hostgator. I have had over 10 sites hosted on one account for almost ONE year without any issue. The prices are perfect for a mid-size domaineer and that’s the way I like it.
amanda wrote on March 19, 2009
Feature rich cPanel and very fast and easy site setup. Pretty good value for our test sites, but I agree that you cant run a lot of traffic through these guys as you will get the DS letter. We move our bigger money sites to more robust hosts. Support does seem overwhelmed most of the time and we have had a couple of brief outages but nothing too serious.
motorbeam wrote on March 24, 2009
Hostgator has quite good support. You can contact them via online chat which is a good thing.
Peter D. wrote on April 2, 2009
Currently use them for all my sites. never had the need to use support. Generous with download and bandwidth limits.
Guitarzzz wrote on April 9, 2009
I’m happy with hostgator so far. I been using godaddy (haha) and it’s easy to see that the hostgator servers are much stronger and faster.
J wrote on April 11, 2009
I have been a longtime customer and have no complaints. Set it up and forget it.
