HostGator Customer Reviews



Great Company

I've read a lot of the reviews here and honestly, I do not agree. I've used HostGator for awhile now. I'm a Reseller, Affiliate and have a few other Web Hosting accounts there. I have NEVER had one problem with HostGator. Any question I had, I would just hop onto live chat and the person would always politely and quickly answer my question. Their prices are in line with basically every other company out there. They're not over priced or severely under priced to make you worry. I would, and currently do, recommend this hosting company to everyone.

Just Leave it because this is NOTHING !!!

I referred to this(hostgator(pussycathostgator)) company a lot& lots of people... But their tech support, sales support and others are definitely annoying and idiot !! If you have a plan about this ...company really do not think anything about it ..because at the beginning they'll ask you your Photo ID, Passport, Credit card and every thing with the details. No body can ask that private info from the people... There are more ..They will not help you if you have a problem with your website.. They can log in to your hosting account without permission and add it or delete any thing they want.. Its just STUPID ..Actually I know what it is but ..you can continue from here... I immediately moved all my information(Files etc.) to different hosting service..There are tons of thing more to tell you.. Simply never never and NEVER buy anything from them !!! If you don't believe me just research on the Internet you'll see that ... How it is.. Be careful ... Thanks for reading !

Deceptive advertising

I ordered VPS hosting for $49.95 on their website. The money was authorized from my credit card account but I receive email some time later requesting that I fax them a copy of my drivers license. No where was this stipulated and I resent being asked to give an internet company that kind of information. I consider these deceptive business practices and I would never use this company. So far, I have not had my money refunded although I have asked them.

Great Experience with Hostgator

I have hosted my all sites on hostgator. I am using hostgator for 1 year. I have never faced any downtime. Their support is best. I always use the online chat option. And I got all my problems solved in few minutes. I recommended this to friends, and they don't have any issue as well.

Best Hosting for resellers

I have been with hostgator with almost 2 to 3 years, there are some good and some not so good experience with them. Overall they are undoubtedly the best web hosting company for resellers. I am using there VPS plan now with 59GB disk space and its not 100% problem less but when ever there is a problem the hostgator support staff is with you. I faced 2 times email outgoing problem in recent past which was quickly resolved by the support staff. The biggest problem I am facing with the HOSTGATOR is that my debit visa cards are not accepted on there website. I wish they add moneybookers as a payment method, I hope that would facilitate many others.

Great!

It is a great web hosting and recommended by all the professional webmasters. I don't know how come their rating is one star here on this site. It seems the reviews are not fair here.

They made me loose more than 30.000 dollars. be Carrefull.

I had a dedicated server from Hosgator which i pay around 180$ per month. I lost my email access for a month, and because of credit card problem my PayPal account stopped paying this money automatically. And after the delay in payment they didn’t dare to call me but just sent some reminder emails to the email which i didn’t have access to. Is calling my phone that expensive for them ? and after 10 days, they just deleted all my websites files ( data ) without making a backup. So now, i lost my websites especially my biggest project bidloadz.com is now gone forever. And honestly i did spend around 10.000 dollars for it plus 1 year of my time ( around 20.000 ) So they made me lose 30.000 dollars just because they didn’t call to inform me about the payment problem. I wouldn’t expect such an unserious, unprofessional act from such a big company. And i do promise them that i will make them lose more than i did, by informing about their working style in any platform i can find. Everybody reading this, take care if you are already working with them, or you are planning to...
