This host makes my world very consistent, they take care of everything. No need to sit and wait on them if something needs tending, they are on it.

I am now very comfortable here, some problems during the move but they caught up the slack and came through with shining colors. Support does a good job and that is always an important thing, try them.

Having no problems, this business is a joy to work with. And their pricing is very reasonable in conjunction with a good support team. The few issues which have come up have been taken care of in a quick manner.

HostGator Review

Jul 11 2012

We are with HIOX for quite a some time and though we had some issues with site, like page is not getting displayed, the support team timely helped to solve the issue. Good support and cheap domains.

My vote goes to these people as they seem to know what they are doing. All is not perfect but they actively go after any issues as soon as they are aware of them. Am pleased with their support and would recommend them.

HostGator All The Way

Mar 13 2012

Signup was easy (I even got a discount) and I have been with them for over 3 years hosting 20 websties. They are VERY reliable and whenever I have had a problem - they solved it. Pricing is fair and their packages give you plenty of room to 'grow' your reseller hosting business.

Nobodys perfect (even Hosgator) but my experience with SEVERAL webhosts shows that they are at the very top of the game when it comes to reliable hosting at fair pricing with responsive helpdesk. I just wish they would update their website design as it is old and outdated.

Dont look at any one else

Mar 14 2012

I recently moved my website from a nightmare experience to HostGator. 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.

The one downside to them is that they dont offer a backup service that i can use to automatically backup my directories and databases.

Should be in top 3

Dec 23 2011

I was surprised to see hostgator not listed in the top 3! They are excellent. I've had 2 downtimes and both of those were fixed fairly rapidly. The support guys generally know their stuff as well which is a big bonus for us as most of the technical questions we throw at them have revolved around e-commerce solutions etc. Would I choose them again even though they are sligthly more pricier than the competition on dedicated servers, most definitely.
