I have been with Hostgator for over 4 years now having moved from many different hosts before finding the right one, Hostgator. I have never had such a fantastic service from any company anywhere! Hostgator are simply the best you will find, the customer service is amazing, 24/7 and they help with all kinds of advice, even when it isnt server related. They have techs working for them that actually care for the customers and this has been proven time and time again when I had issues with scripts, even though it wasnt up to Hostgator to fix these issues, they gave me great advice to get the scripts working. I have a dedicated pro server, fully managed and a level 4 VPS, both are perfect for my entire business and I have a lot of sites!
Anyway, Hostgator are simply the best hosting company out there and that is the reason why they are so popular, if you are searching for a hosting company, you dont need to, just go to Hostgator!
I recommend to take service from Hostgator, it gives you everything for a website and the charge is nominal. They providing attractive offers to all the web hosting people. Hostgator technical support, sales and services are extremely good. One valid opinion is they are not supporting illegal activity like pirated license product etc.
I am having the reseller account with them, I have never faced the issue like site down, loading issue, backup failure. My team are happy with their service and also we plan to book shared hosting with them.
I have been a Host Gator customer since 2010 and I find it the best hosting service provider for all my linux hosting needs.
From last 1 year I am involved in reselling the hosting packages through my company Site URL
I find the support offered by Host Gator through the chat and support ticket are best in the industry. I never had the need to educate them about the issues and the team is technically very sound.
I never actually found the services troublesome and most of the support tickets were due to either my or my customer’s ignorance (Overall my support ticket requests are also minimal)
The cool whm/cpanel/WHMCS combination is super and I could completely brand my business with ease. I remember contacting them for setting up private name servers in the beginning which they could have integrated with the account signup (But it was just a 1 time trouble).
I personally feel, one should and must have a hostgator account if he is in need of linux hosting solutions.
I have also taken a VPS for one of my customers and the performance of the same is very good. Support is equally good.
My 4.5 out of 5 for hostgator.
I have been using Hostgator since early 2008, with one of their reseller packages. I have hosted many sites and have rarely encountered any issues with their hosting. In the last 4 years I’ve only had to contact them twice for any issue. When ever I did have an issue, their support staff was very friendly and professional. I didnt have to wait for a long time, which to me is worth a lot!, and could do it all through their chat system.
I have used many other hosting companies, and Hostgator is without a doubt the easiest to use. They keep their software up to date, so you know you will have latest in cPanel and WHM. The funny thing is, I never realized how important that was until I signed up for an additional hosting company which didn’t do this.
Hostgator also is competitively priced as well. They may be a little more then the smaller hosting companies, but you get what you pay for. In my opinion, Hostgator is worth every penny and will always be keeping my account open and active with them.
I remember contacting them for setting up private name servers in the beginning which they could have integrated with the account signup (But it was just a 1 time trouble).
I’ve been with HostGator the whole time and never thought about switching to another company. I have seen plans that are cheaper elsewhere but I am very satisfied with HostGator and don’t mind paying a few dollars extra each month to get superb web hosting from them. I am able to host all of my websites and I don’t have to worry about my sites being down. I think my sites have only been down two or three times over the course of 2 years with them and each time, they were back up in no time. I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable web hosting.
I am using hostgator Baby Plan, because referred by one of my friend from IM/conference chat, and only need to pay $0.01 for the first month, almost free, so what i can lose, so i just try it
Previously, i stay away using hostgator, because i read many bad testimonials from other users like in forums or hosting review sites, but my friend says its all bullshit, maybe its just testimonial from lame users or from hostgator competitor company, and looks like she right, after joined and using the host, i never got problem like peoples says in the forums or hosting review sites, lol
the host speed are fast, the site pages are loaded well, the contact support is answering my questions in about 6 hours generally, including when i request for using ssh
The management is very good, i think hostgator is the #1 in hosting management out there, i occasionally got emails from them about site of the month that using hostgator, and other offers by their partners, specially hostgator enom reseller account, that hostgator have exclusive right from enom, just contact the support to request it if you already a client.
