I think the customer service they provide is one of the best I had when it comes to hosting services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostGator?

I didn't really have any bad experiences with HostGator. Maybe the only thing I'd mention is their price. You pay for what you get, so to me it made sense to pay slightly higher prices to get a better service. But, for some people it might not be same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have purchased a couple domains from Hostgator and they also provided me with hosting services. I like how Hostgator is very instinctive to use even for people that aren't that tech-savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HostGator?

Part loyalty as we were a small company as they were starting out and we kind of grew together. Late night tech calls achieved both our goals and learning needs. Reasonable rates and truly gifted technicians. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostGator?

Being with HG for so long i feel we stagnated and missed opportunities to implement more modern host options. Also as they grown, there has become a disconnect with support and our staff. Long informative calls that typically resolved complex issues in one shot. It now seems we submit complex issues and they are broken down into indivual tickets, with a completion leading to the next ticket for a piecemealed solution that typically works but time also lingers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
