Hosting Multiple Domains on Hostgator

I have been with hostgagor for 5 years now, after moving from a much more expensive Australian Host (who hosted from US anyway) and have been delighted with them. As a web developer and professional and personal blogger I host over 20 domains on the one account (.com and .au) and multiple sub-domains (for myself, clients, friends and a couple of non-profits). A few have Google ratings of 5-7 which indicates how much traffic they get and I am only on their baby plan.

If there has been any downtime at all since have been with them it must have been so short as neither myself or clients have noticed it and I am working with my sites for hours each day.

The only times I have needed to contact customer support has been for problems I have created myself and the matter has been dealt with speedily through their online chat. The operators have all been friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable. I have helped other bloggers with their own sites hosted through various different hosts so I am confident that I have chosen the best.

PS - I am not a hosting reseller for Hostgator so I have nothing to gain from writing such a glowing review.

Biggest Pro: Reliability-Price
Biggest Con: None

Absolutely Flat-Out the BEST

I've been with HostGator for almost two years now. I have never seen another company strive so hard to make constant improvements and provide the very best in service and support.

I've submitted two support tickets to them, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they were on it in less than one minute. It is not humanly possible to provide better support than that.

Their servers are driven by wind power, a sustainable energy source.

The ease of use of their CPanel is outstanding. Hosting plans are very reasonably priced.

I recommend HostGator to everyone. You can't go wrong with these guys. They are the best.

Very happy with Host Gator

I've not have had any problems of any sort with Host Gator. Website runs smoothly and super fast connection.

CPanel and site is easy to use and site easy to navigate and as yet, I did not use support other than when I transferred DNS from JustHost (big nightmare) to worry free zone Host Gator. Transfer was easy and super... super fast.

All in all, as yet, no complaints or problems.

Biggest Pro: Worry free zone, excellent CPanel and no contract.

Couldn't be happier with Host Gator

I have been with Host Gator for just over 6 months. In that time I have not had one single issue or down time. The control panel is so superior over the garbage that AIT provided, I just had no idea what I was missing.

Not only do my websites run flawlessly, but I've been able to set up two extensive, professional store fronts and generate sales at no additional cost. The Mcart that AIT offered was an embarassment.

I am extremely pleased with Host Gator and their tech staff and would recommend them to anyone, without hesitation.

Biggest Pro: 100% uptime, great tech support, great cpanel
Biggest Con: none

Outstanding Customer Service!!

I have been a HostGator customer for the last 3 years, and I truly can't speak highly enough of their technical support department and the services HostGator provides.

I am the developer for a system that is designed to send alerts to members of the general public during severe weather events along with several other tools that we have created that are designed to assist with the protection of lives, property, and communications. The service we have created is utilized by emergency response organizations all around the country. The systems we have created were designed to provide the difference between life and death in alot of situtations.

I can truly say that with the work we are doing, and the true impact we have on the organizations utilizing our services, its very critical that our servers are fully functional at all times. A week or so ago we ran in to a serious problem with our dedicated server and our mail system was blocking text messages from going through. This posed a serious issue due to the weather and the possibility of a tornado being produced. I contacted HostGator, explained the situation, and within minutes their support department went to work to resolve the issue at hand. This was one of the situations where it could of turned out to be a life or death senario. If the alerts didn't get sent out, and a tornado had touched down and someone was killed, it would have caused massive devistation to the work that we are doing.

If it wasn't for the knowledge and quick response of the HostGator technical support team, our entire operation could of gone under. Because of situations like this that have arisen in the past, HostGator has never once failed to step up and correct the problems we faced (and in come cases the problem was actually on our end and not theirs), I would have to say anyone looking for a hosting company with outstanding reliability, amazing customer and technical support, and great prices, well HostGator is the best company out there!

Biggest Pro: Technical support is just simply amazing!
Biggest Con: I have no complaints what so ever about HostGator.

Best Support in the Industry

I have been using Host Gator over 5 years. I can not tell you the number of times they have helped me with situations. Even some that I don't think really had anything to do with them. I have a dedicated server with close to 80 websites on it. Whenever I have a problem, I simply send a ticket and within a very short time the problem is addressed.

A couple years ago, the servers went down due to a problem with The Planet. They did everything they could to help even though most of it was out of their control. I delt a great deal with a gentleman named Josh, who gave me advice that really saved me a lot of time and money.

Anyone interested in hosting sites can not go wrong with Host Gator.

Longtime HostGator client still happy

I had a reseller account with HG for about 3 years and have recently upgraded to a dedicated server.

All in all I'm very happy with HG. Tech support is generally very good and reasonably fast - having the live chat capability is a big plus for less complex problems. There's a pretty good community of support available on the forums and HG is not afraid to post bad reviews - to me that says they care what people think.

The only major issue I've had with my hosting in the last year was an emergency drive replacement that resulted in basically 4 days of downtime while the RAID array was rebuilt - that was really difficult to explain to clients and I think that could have been handled better, possibly by scheduling the rebuiliding at night, which did help when they decided to do that on the last day. However, this was an isolated incident.

I still recommend HG to clients who don't go through my hosting company. I have no qualms about those recommendations.

Biggest Pro: Chat support, thorough technicians
Biggest Con: Slower support times for ticketing lately

Host Gator is #1

I've had my website hosted on them for only about a week and I have encountered no problems so far. It was all fairly straight forward I decided to choose the hatchling plan which is pretty much like the baby plan but you don't get unlimited domains and it lacks a few e-commerce features which is not what I need anyway. By the way you can easily update your plan without ANY fees of any sort you just get put on the new payment scheme so that's good to know, If I ever decided that I need more domains or if I want to make e-commerce websites!

The whole purchase process is really fast and everything was done and set up within like 20 minutes. I can see why Host Gator is rated so highly all over the internet it really is THAT good. I always see really popular websites hosted by Host Gator and that was one of the main reasons why I decided to go with them. You just don't get all these cool features and reliability anywhere else for this kind of price. I am yet to try out their Live technical support as I am pretty tech savvy and their documentation is really thorough so I have not had any need to. I assume they are just as knowledgeable as people have been saying.

I highly recommend Host Gator!

Biggest Pro: Feature Rich and the ability to pay month by month with NO contract or disconnection Fees!
Biggest Con: None

Dont look at any other hosting company!!

Dont waste your time with all these other hosting companies who have people leaving bogus positive reviews. HostGator is the ONLY company you need to host your website. I recent;y moved my website from a nightmare experience with Justhost.com to HostGator. I was very reluctant to believe any of the positive reviews i read about Hostgator especially after reading the same for Justhost. After moving my site in 7 hours, and the great customer support from HostGator, i am happy to say that I am here to stay for good!! This is the most stable, fastest, most reliable hosting service i have ever experienced. Their servers are high power and not oversubsribed. I even had comments from people overseas accessing my site asking what had changed since the overall performance skyrocketed!!

Dont bother with any other service. Use HostGator for your hosting needs.

Sincerely 1 BIG HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!

Biggest Pro: Reliability, speed, stability, customer service is US based.
Biggest Con: They dont offer a backup service i can use to automatically backup my directories and databases.

Very happy

We switched to Host Gator because our last host was getting worse and worse. Our site was frequently down and the old host techs kept telling me there was no problem. We have a business and can't afford for our site to be down. Night and day difference between what I had and Host Gator. To my knowledge the site has never been down since we switched to Host Gator and it's a faster connection.

Host Gator's cpanel is light years ahead of my last host. It is a hugely useful cpanel. I especially like the Awstats. It not only gives you all sorts of traffic statistics for your site, but it also shows 404 link errors and other such errors. Adding subdomains and other such stuff is a breeze.

I've only called support once. They answered right away and fixed the problem right away. The problem was some annomus ftp was using up my bandwidth. The tech blocked them and I've had no problems since.

Biggest Pro: The site is always up.
Biggest Con: None that I've found
