Verdict : I began with HostGator when all I needed was a simple vanity page. Then I added a busy phpBB forum. Since then, I've upgraded my hosting package and began hosting video and other multimedia content.

For over 2 years I have been delighted with their hosting and support. (Believe it or not, support is actually kind.)

HostGator, I love thee!

Verdict : Excellent webhosting company, uptime 100%, fast support team, fast servers, Cpanel, price is higher than other companies, but because they are EXCELLENT.
I would mention that they are rigid on system resources usage .. so if your site is big they may suspend your account like what happened with me. I'm thinking to move to their dedicated servers now.

Verdict : I have been with HostGator for about a year and I can say that their support is outstanding, quick answers with intelligent responses. Needless to say I have had to contact them on a several occasions and I have never been kept waiting.

So when the hosting provider of our company website, uh disappeared (that's the only way to describe it since we attempted calling them for weeks) I recommended HostGator to my boss and we went forward.

The techs at HostGator walked me through what to do so as to make our transition as painless as possible. I would STRONGLY recommend HostGator to anyone that is setting up a website.

Verdict : I've been with Hostgator.com for more than a year and so far I'm very happy. I know from personal experience that their chat support is online 24/7 and I personally use it quite alot. It's satisfying to be able to quickly handle the technical side of hosting my site and remain focussed on improving the content. More 'heavy duty' support issues are handled via email and I have always received a reply within 24 hours. Usually it's within a couple of hours.

If Hostgator keeps it up the way they have for the past year I'm definitely staying. BTW, I actually tried hosting a couple of sites at PolurNET, but I really missed the chat support at Hostgator (I am admittedly impatient :-). To me the hosting experience with Hostgator is more personal and that extra level of service is easily worth the few extra bucks.

I highly recommend Hostgator.

Verdict : Brilliant - I moved some 1&1 domains over and have started some new ones .

Support - excellent - live help and I have always been happy at the end.

Well done.

Verdict : These guys have been wonderful! - A great change when I was in a bind because my previous provider (canaca.com = evil) kept going down. They helped me get things up and running QUICK, and I had most of my email and websites transferred over to their reseller account package in less than an afternoon (30+ sites total). The only thing they don't/didn't offer that I would have liked to see was ssh access to the server for debugging/coding purposes... but hey, for what it's costing me I am MORE THAN HAPPY with their service, and knock-on-wood no downtime at all yet, (been about one month now).

Verdict : I have been with host gator for nearly 1 month, what can i say, they are simply unbeleivable. I had confusion with multiple accounts but the customer service sorted that out easily. I would recommend this host to anyone looking for relible, bargain based host that are simply the best.

Verdict : I bought a resale package from them early this year
I had some minor trouble with a server issue (something to do with mail() and some other functions not working)

I spoke to Support
and they were like, yea yea, ok whatever
and nothing got sorted

I asked for my refund and cancelled within the 30 day money back offer
3 months later, we find that they took the money of the credit card, and never put it back on.

When I spoke to someone to ask what happened, they said
According to your email, you wanted to cancel your policy, You never asked for a refund so we didn't refund you

Who the hell would NOT want a refund for over 200 USD
Her attitude was as if it was normal

So if you get a server with no issues,
You never need to speak to tech
and You dont request a refund
Then there OK

Verdict : The reliability is excellent, but they were arrogant in their support replies, after I made a few tickets on some issue I was keep experiencing. I moved away for my own good, but still recommend it if you don't mind the somewhat abrupt responses

Verdict : I've been with HostGator for nearly 8 months after migrating from CredibleHost. So far they have been excellent. I've had to contact support a few times and on all occassions my questions was answered very promptly.

Hope everything keeps going the same way and I do not have problems like what I've had with some other hosts.

Verdict : I've been with Hostgator for just a few weeks. I used to run my forums on a VPS, but that was just not what I wanted. I choose Hostgator because they had very good reviews all over the internet, and whenever I visited their site, the live help was online. Great!

The pricing is very good, especially for what you buy for it. Enough space and bandwidth and the servers are powerful enough for my forums, even when there are 30 people online.

I especially like the emailsupport team. They give a more complete answer to technical questions then the Live help. I've mailed a few questions and one was answered within 24 hours, and the others within 2 hours. That's good..!

My forummembers are all from The Netherlands, EU but no one has ever complained about slowness because the servers are located in the US. HostGator is just a good webhosting company!

Verdict : hi,
I think you can't find a better company than hostgator, always there for you, I've been with hostgator since last 2+ years, I was a tiny host earlier, and with their quality of service/support iam able to expand to 2 Dedicated servers and couple of Reseller accounts, I was not a expert with hosting but they helped me in every issue, and all with a smile.
Tried their support even at 3A.M. and support tech was their to solve a apache issue in a minute.

Till date never found any of their staff dis-respecting customer in mails(many other hosts have this habbit), how complex a issue may be its handled with a smile, with that said, its certainly a host if you want to GROW, or go ahead and sign up with some crow.

regards,
pk

Verdict : One of the best hostings I've had the chance to test. Incredibly cheap, especially for all they offer (huge webspace, unlimited parked domains and MySQL databases...). Online support always available, very helpful, kind and above all quick! You often receive an answer a couple of minutes after you submited your question. I never had any problems with them, other than occasional downtime (always less than a few minutes).

I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants an excellent service for a more than acceptable price.

Verdict : I've had hosting in England for the past 5-6 years but that company had been bought by one company and then by another and gradually their service deteriorated and their original support team guys(who were excellent) all went elsewhere.. I'd been looking around for a new host and got recommended a few and then found a hostgator review in this very same site and migrating to them as we speak and not looking back :)

They have the online support option which is great but sending them a mail is often better and they will reply within one hour if not a half hour and they'll fix your problem fast! I'd been trying to get a PHP class installed and working and was having problems, my previous host wouldn't help with anything they hadn't installed themselves and would always ask for money before they'd help anyway I mailed hostgator support and they kept at the problem until it was solved... recommended :)
