"Best Hosting Services"
What do you like best about HostGator?

The thing I like about hostgator is it's fast servers and the support from the company. Also it's easy to use and vey easy to implement.

What do you dislike about HostGator?

The pricing might make a bad thing because as a web developer, we need to host multiple domains, at that time sometimes it felt like a disadvantage.

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

As a consultant and a developer company we are focused into hosting multiple domains for several clients. So by using hostgator, their services are the best I would say compared to some other services which I have used in the past few years.
