HostGator Reviews & Product Details

Delivers same features as competitors at a competitive price. Excellent integrations and easy to use with frequency. Implementation is not a bottleneck.

Customer support is pathetic and does not satisfy

Excellent hosting solution at a budget compared to rival companies. Feature and implementation wise not much of a difference in devops

Super affordable and easy way to host websites and buy/manage domains

It doesn't have some advanced features and bulk pricing that some other hosts/servers have

Allowing me to manage domains easily

Its very reasonablely priced and easy to use

The customer support is not that good and that needs an improvement

Its solving a major problem of web hosting and that too very easily. The interface is user friendly. This in all is helping in digital marketing and promotion of the company.

I bought the 3 years hosting plan and they were very cheap and support staff was also excellent compared to other provider.

Things worked well hence till no now issues.

Hosted a website, load time was good with good amount of concurrent connections.

I've had some customers with virus issues on a customer site and the support team was able to resolve it smoothly. The service is via chat or ticket and it works very well.

Older contracts usually do not have newer versions of PHP and, in this case, we need to request migration of customer services.

When we have a VPS, we receive a complete WHM to manage the operation, making it much easier to control customers within the VPS. Including importing customers from other hosting companies.

There are multiple types of hostings available on Hostgator that can support whether you are a small business owner or a professional blogger. Although I don't recommend them for big companies, they should go towards AWS or Azure! There is live chat support in HostGator so if you are ever stuck on any problem you can contact them right away and they are very responsive.

Hostgator is on a bit expensive side in the pricing list. Normal shared hosting is fine, but their cloud hosting prices are just too high for a starter, and there is no plan for starters. Also, their prices change when you renew the hosting. They will offer the hosting for cheap when you are first purchasing but when you have to renew it you'll have to pay the premium.

I just used Hostgator to host my website as it was a popular choice and its advertising is done in a lot of places but there are a lot of better alternatives than it.

Hostgator it's simple and easy to use with amazing features

Prices could be better than other providers

Seasy to create wordpress website with ssl without a lot of steps

Hostgator is amazing. It's fast, reliable & easy to manage. I love the service I got from hostgrator.

The UI is the only thing I don’t like much. Other than that, It's one of the best hosting company out there.

Hostgator has helped me to grow my business with their excellent hosting stability, speed & support.

HostGator offers both shared & dedicated hosting packages for our enterprise. It's easy to migrate old packages over to the new packages & these new packages provide enhanced tools, updated bill cycle and new hosting provisions. All backend servers of HostGator are based on SSD storage which promotes faster accessibility & data retention.

We have recently started using HostGator & we are satisfied with its web hosting services. We mostly go with Linux-based hosting since it best suits our client requirements. HostGator also provisions multi-domain SSL, which secures over 200+ domains with a single certificate. Its pricing is also affordable, and we find convenience in using its hosting platform.

HostGator is splendid when it comes to fast loading & featuring secure websites for our clients. We set up daily automated backups so that we don't lose any of our application files, and restoration can be done with a few clicks. This is helpful when our website gets affected by hacking or malware attacks & files get deleted. We go with its pro-hosting services for higher performance & robust experience. By default, it has cPanel in its Linux hosting services which is beneficial for our server & website management tasks.

The price and customer service. You can host multiple websites depending on which package you go for. It's extremely useful when you have a lot of low traffic domains.

Speed is not exactly lightning fast however the low price paid should be noted. I would say it's more than acceptable considering how much value the various packages offer overall.

Low cost hosting for multiple small websites. I can put them all here and manage them easily within the control panel. I can easily make quick edits, create email accounts etc.

I like the support of Hostgator the most. Usually most issues where fixed right away. Support is often fast to respond

Hostgator areas of support where often limited

Hosting was very flexible and easy to switch to upgraded plans.

I think the best part that they have going for them is their dashboard after you're logged in. Everything is organized very well and users can easily find which site to work with, where the CPanel is, the domain settings, and the customer service chat section.

Of all things, I dislike the site speed of my clients' sites that are hosted on Hostgator. I don't know for certain, because their customer service denies it, but it's kind of like a pay to play philosophy. I'd need to "upgrade" to get a faster site. Not cool.

As a website developer, Hostgator gives me a one stop shop option for clients who don't know much about domains or hosting. Here they could manage it all in one place and not be overwhelmed. Another benefit they give is quick response Customer Service. I've never waited more than a few minutes to get a response.

Hostgator offers hosting plans on Linux and Windows platforms. The best thing about their plans is that they are quite economical. The performance of the hosting servers is good. For higher performance, they offer plans under the "PRO Hosting" services. Setting up a website was hassle free. They offer good discounts for long term plans.

Hosting renewal prices are a bit on the higher side. It would be good if they could offer good discounts on renewals too.

Building client websites and hosted the same on HoasGator.

The dashboard is clearly arranged - there are many functions and extensions available, which are installed directly via the admin area. I'm glad that the provider does this - so I can be sure that I'm installing the right application and that it's from a secure vendor.

The customer service works with tickets, which means for us that we always have to wait quite a long time until we get an answer. An additional domain was only activated after 3 days.

I especially appreciate the very fast loading time of our homepage. Our internal analyses have shown that the bounce rate on our homepage has decreased thanks to the fast loading time.

Easy to use interface, low prices, good server load and up time, and more options and automation. Huge choice of domains.

The customer support in night time at India in terrible. Hours of waiting time, with agents disconnecting calls in middle and waiting again for hours is the rust thing I faced with Hostgator.

Using Hosting for some of my and clients websites.

I like that HostGator has both domain registration and web hosting packages. We don't have to go to two different places to get those products. They also have all the common security tools, like SSL certificates, to improve search engine rankings and help keep our websites secure and free from malware. I think that HostGator has been very friendly for our content management systems. Our pages generally load pretty fast through HostGator, except for the occasional page that processes lots of data or contains lots of media.

I think my only complaint is that the interface of HostGator is probably not as clean and modern as some other web hosts' account portals. The pricing isn't so bad, but there aren't very many promotional deals that we can take advantage of like we can at other web host offers I've seen online.

We have created many quality business websites that we've used for marketing and for posting blog posts for a variety of different subjects. We have gotten generally good page loading speeds from HostGator, even with the more standard hosting packages. Instead of having to log in all the time, HostGator keeps us up-to-date with account activities.

There are many convenient account management within HostGator. Most of the services can be activated within a few minutes or so. The basic hosting plans have a good amount of bandwidth, storage space and other features that make it suitable for most common website installations. I like that HostGator stays up-to-date with most of web framework languages so we can create dynamic websites either from scratch or use a content management system.

I think that the speeds on HostGator are probably not among the best compared to other leaders in web hosting. There aren't as many features that allow us to optimize websites for search engines and other marketing needs. I think we can run most applications that we would need for common websites, but I feel like they could probably have more available to us.

The websites that we host on HostGator are used throughout our business for internal purposes, marketing and several business-to-business needs. We can get decent page loading speeds for the price that we're paying. Even though they're not the fastest speeds possible, they are fast enough to run the types of pages and content that we post most of the time. Having a solid up time is very important for any business, and HostGator has been pretty good at providing that for us.

Hostgator gives you a lot of cheap options that for simple deploys is ideal, also the promotions they put sometimes can get you almost 3 years for the price of one including a SSL certificatate, so if you work as freelance it's going to give to your clients a really cheap deployment. Now regarding to the Dashboard is really simple, the curve of learning is almost zero. As a developer you can give a quick training and let a non technical resource to be managing the web server after the end of the project.

Something I dislike about Hostagor are they Shared Solution, If you are a developer working with web solution that implements framework DO NOT buy the shared hosting solution, because you are going to find a lot of roadblock at the moment of implement. In example I have tried to deploy tool made with Symfony 2.* and 3.* and I have had the issue of trying to install all the need libraries with composer and find a limit of memory, and even I have need just like 500Kb the solution by the support team was "Buy the VPN solution"

Deployment of Web Pages, Mail Server, Online stores, among others.

HostGator's page loading speeds tend to be pretty good compared to other big name web hosting companies. I like that HostGator provides a full range of services, like domain registration, email hosting and website hosting. They offer a wide variety of tools that give us great control over our web assets. We can easily manage our own DNS records and add new email addresses and web software through HostGator's control panel.

There's not much to dislike about a service that is generally straightforward, but if I had to pick something to dislike, I'd say that HostGator isn't as flexible and fast as some of the newer up-and-coming web hosts like SiteGround. From my experience so far, HostGator doesn't run WordPress installs as efficiently.

HostGator has given us a reliable platform for domain registration and web hosting. We don't only host full websites, we also host single web pages. The uptime is usually very good and support team has been very responsive whenever issues arise. They've basically served as our own staff members.

I like that HostGator has been in business for many years and offers a wide range of domain and web hosting services. I sometimes get low price offers from newer companies, but I tend to stick with HostGator for our main hosting needs since they've been reliable. Their account features are straightforward and easy to manage.

When tested, the loading times for some HostGator pages are not always as fast as some web pages we host at other companies. It can sometimes be difficult to make account updates to various software versions.

HostGator has been a solid provider of web hosting for many of our media assets. We host websites, landing pages and various testing apps for analysis purposes. We haven't experienced any major downtime or other negative account issues.
