"Quality hosting provider. Been using for 10 years, great uptime."
What do you like best about HostGator?

I find them affordable and reliable. Hostgator has been consistent with their uptime and is attentive to support issues. I have yet to have any notable issues with their hosting in over 10 years of using them.

What do you dislike about HostGator?

The only issue I've experienced is they block traffic for users using certain FireFox browsers, resulting in an error when accessing Hostgator hosted websites. I have yet to find a resolution to this.

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

Affordable hosting for clients that need a reliable, user-friendly, and non-technical solution for the website hosting needs. Also works great with domain registration.

"Good Hosting Platform"
What do you like best about HostGator?

There are some feature i liked the most of this platform like unlimited brandwith, one click installation, unlimited mySQL and goole ads with usd 150 credit limit. I used ecommerce plan for usd 75 and i used this platform for more than 1 year. It was good

What do you dislike about HostGator?

Spacially 02 things i did not like about this platform. First thing is they require an additional fee while we restore our data from backup. It was the worst thing of their whole platform. And also this is not the most economical option with these kinds of features in the market. There are many options we can use for a less annual fee. Other than that everything was good

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

Mostly domain registration , shared hosting and website building. The features they provided was very helpful for me to achieve above tasks.But there were some loose ends which i mentioned above and if they have a remedy for them then this will be the best product

"as good as expected"
What do you like best about HostGator?

It is really hard to find a hosting company that can host my website and transfer, and backup previously hosted websites, thanks to Hostgator for providing me with everything I required.

What do you dislike about HostGator?

It sometimes happens that CSR is not responsive. It hurts especially when you are in a situation where everything is at stake. This should be taken care of professionally and as early as possible.

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

I was so worried as to how would I transfer my data from my previously hosted domain. I was so worried even feeling fear in this particular issue. Thanks to HostGator for resolving the transfer of the previously hosted data issues.
