Hostgator Review by sgerner - Not So Secure Scripts

One of my top requirements when I chose a host provider was an easy-to-use script auto-installer that kept my site up-to-date with the latest security patches. Host Gator has selected Fantastico to fill that purpose. Prior to ordering I chatted with a Host Gator help line assistant online and I felt confident that the auto-installer requirement would be meet by Fantastico. So I signed up. Little did I realize that Host Gators choice of using Fantastico now is my biggest headache. Many of the scripts are 2 or 3 versions out-of-date (2 months worth of patches) and have critical security vulnerabilities which are widely known now. Yes, it is always possible to manually update the scripts on your own, which is a pain by the way. However when you are paying for a service that is suppose to do that for you, it defeats the purpose of choosing a provider with that service. Especially if one of the reasons you chose the provider was for a supposedly good auto-installer.

In conclusion, if you are using Drupal, PostNuke/Ziluka, ZenCart scripts, just to name a few, and want to easily keep them up-to-date without gaping security holes then I would avoid any provider with Fantastico. However, if your main concern is competitive pricing and are not concerned at all with auto-installation scripts then I would recommend Host Gator. I also did get quick responses to my support tickets, even though the answers where not what I wanted to hear.

Hostgator Review by mhdeaton - Nicole is the best!!

There are some very bright people at hostgator, but I must say Nicole is flipping incredible. Great attitude quick, funny and a problem solver.

I was starting to lose confidence in a matter when I finally called and got Nicole she straightened it out and restored my confidence completely in 5 minutes.

Hostgator Review by Defiance - 2 Year Review

It’s been a little bit around 2 years since I last did a review on HostGator. Over these 2 years I have seen my site grow from the small site it once was to the big community it is now. I finally had to upgrade to a Dedicated Server to better suite my needs. This transfer took place in a little udner than 3 days. Everything had gone very smooth during the process.

HostGator has done a GREAT job of keeping me impressed. I also would like to thank some of the Techs Personally

Shashank - Out standing support tech. Handles a lot of my tickets and is one of the best techs I’ve dealt with .

Coty Beavers - Outstanding sales agent who recommended I sign up for the Dedicated server and walked me though various aspects of the process and setup. I appriciated it even more being able to speak directly with this rep on the phone and not waste time emailing support tickets back and forth.

Hostgator Review by aaronblrt1 - Love Hostgator

I switched from Yahoo to Hostgator after discovering it on the web last January 2007.

Anytime I run into a problem, the staff here responds to my tickets right away. They are very friendly and promt.

I run a online Tv network, using the Swamp Package, and I have to say what a great job hostgator has done here. Very fast server and zero downtime.

I use google to host all my videos, but it looks like hostgator works with everything and I have to just say, I hope Hostgator keeps up the good work and continues improving.

Hostgator Review by amotaz - My Experience with HostGator

I thought I’d share my (literally) one-minute experience with HostGator.

About an hour ago, I purchased my Baby croc hosting account. Paid and received a payment confirmation. They said my account will be setup within a few minutes and that I’ll be notified by e-mail including my login information.

A few minutes later, I received a “welcome to HostGator family” e-mail, and that my account was setup successfully. The e-mail included my login information.

Logged on to my account (cPanel).

A minute later (while I was browsing my new account), I got a password popup box. I attempted to login several times but it did not work.

Hostgator Review by VAIOGIRL - Hostgator review

First i would like to apologise for my poor English it’s not so good but i will still like to write this review as it’s needed.

First I would like to say I’ve only been with hostgator for only few days 5 maybe.

But I already have my stamp.

They have one of the best prices and hosting offers. From what I have seen and talked to their online support.

Their online support is always open and reply fast and are very plait and client friendly. It only takes seconds and I have a reply.

Though I been through hell just to move my website and it’s not done yet! Their online support say one thing and the actually ticket support tell you another!

I have closed my website for more then 2 days in the weekend but I received a fare answer from their online support that they had problems with their transfer. No problem. So I cancelled my transfer until further notice

I have transferred all of my files myself, except for my DB which is very big (3gb) I decided that they should do it for me.

Having to fill different formalities , different tickets and forms. Hoping after a longs sleep it will be done. I open my computer today and to my great frustration I see that they reply me back telling me I should “reply back to my first ticket” while I have already been over this with the many online support who told me exactly what to do and I did so!

Hostgator Review by Media Corp - Erick A. is the best!

For what its worth…I’ve been a Hostgator Reseller for a few months now and I’ve had incredible service. I just connected via Live Chat, clicked Support and bingo…2 seconds to help.

And…these people know there stuff! I’ve never been told ‘well, it’s something you did so go away’ or ‘we’ll have to look into it’ etc…

Hostgator Review by SNN - My expierence at HG

This, by far, is probably the best host I’ve ever hosted with

I have rarely any downtime, if any at all I would be suprised (unless planned maintence).

I love the new plans hostgator is providing, it’s perfect for a small site, or even medium sized site.

I’ve never had to ask for support from live chat, so I can’t comment on the live support.

Hostgator Review by artisan - Thank You — A delighted new Customer

The gift of a grateful heart is a dwindling sign of our times and is certainly not a quality I possess. I gripe when things do not go well; but I do not commend in equal measure when things are set right. Even so, I must take time out to appreciate the great service and support I received from Hostgator when I recently signed up with them.

After my interaction with them on Day 1, I came away with the feeling that there must be something right with this bunch of really motivated folks; because I received not just prompt and courteous service — but also satisfactory resolution — from everybody — which was Sales, Service and Billing. What a refreshing feeling!
