Review by Debby Phillips on August 4, 2008
I have used HostGator as my host for a few years. Not only are their prices reasonable, their customer service is great! They offer live customer service online. Every time I have had a question or problem I have used the online support and they have resolved my problem or answered my question quickly each time.

I have been a HostGator customer for about 4 years now. Their customer service is great and very helpful, unlike some other hosting companies! Their trouble ticket system gets very fast replies and your issues are always solved fast. I highly recommend HostGator to anyone looking for quality hosting.

I’ve been a customer with hostgator for about a year now and I have no complaints. I have about 15 sites (small ish) hosted and pay a low monthly fee of about $25, I’ve never had any problems with uptime and the live customer support is great if I ever run into any problems.
I would recommend anyone to HostGator, they have packages to suit everyone and you can upgrade/downgrade with ease.

I. Love. HostGator.
I’m a complete noob when it comes to the technical aspects of websites, but HostGator’s CPanel is so easy to use, their online chat customer service is knowledgeable and quick to respond (at least, they were when I was confused on how to add add-on domains). I’ve never had a problem with my servers being down or what have you. Reasonable price. And best of all? They use Fantastico to automatically install WordPress for you (and even have a 1 click upgrade when WordPress has a new version available).
I’ve only used one other host before, and HostGator beats the pants off them.
