We used to have a domain WSJP.INFO. We have canceled it and we have just received an e-mail that they auto-charged me $104 for renewal for 3 years.

What do you like best about HostGator?

At this point, nothing honestly. There's really nothing good about the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostGator?

Slower than the average hosting package of the same price, they overcram their servers. Their support is literally the worst I've ever dealt with and will leave your account in worse shape than when you spoke to them. Every HostGator support interaction consists of two parts, the first agent you talk to who tells you one thing, and then the second agent you talk to who tells you the first agent was mistaken and steered you wrong. By the end of it, something WILL be screwed up on your account.

Half the time you can't even get into your dashboard because of their aggressive Cloudflare configuration that rate-limits you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HostGator solving and how is that benefiting you?

They solved the problem of needing a webhost until they became impossible to deal with. They were never *good* really, but they were acceptable for a good while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
