Overall it is good. The staff is knowledgeable. I would like more incentive for longtime customers. I plan to do business for a long time, it would be nice if every renewal I wasn't treated like a new customer. I do call in and the staff does try to retain me, but it would be nice if there was something already in place to reward my many years of being a loyal customer and referring others to setup their own accounts. I do not want to join the reseller program. It is not suitable for the type of clients I have.
I have recently had more technical issues which is understandable with technology, however, the turnaround to fix some of the issues is a bit disappointing like the current issue I am deal with with my addon domain and SSL. A ticket was opened which is great, but of little comfort when you are force to delay your plans.
Why HostGator?
I have used it for many years and recommend the business cloud package to my clients. I chose it for the flexibility of the package to scale with a start-up business.

My domain was suspended because it wasn't verified. I paid for it, and its up and running what other verification is needed? This is just unnecessary

Because I saw a user YouTube video showing how to set up a WordPress website 8 years ago and I had 4 websites running back then.

HostGator works well for me as a designer with limited coding skills, using Wordpress. However, the only reason I did not give 5 stars is the customer service. I do t mean the customer service is bad, it's good to have someone there to talk to, but most of the time you're speaking with someone from another country and I continuously have to ask them to repeat themselves.
Why HostGator?
I was with another web host that had no customer service when I had issues with my Wordpress site. Well they had customer service kinda. If you asked a question they would send you an article. And one day for no reason, my site crashed. I’m sure it was because of a plug-in I used, but to not have anyone to talk to about the problem was the last straw for me. I had to start all over from scratch, and rebuilding a
e-comm site… F&@#!

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
