HostGator has come a long way since it was begun in a Florida college student's dorm room. Now located in Houston, they're one of the largest hosting companies in the world. As such, they've made themselves attractive to a wide span, from individual customers to Fortune 500 companies. With top tier data centers, they have a 99.9% uptime guarantee, backed by 24/7 security. Customer service and support is their bailiwick. They commissioned a 3rd party to conduct a survey of their customer service in 2008 and the results showed over 90% of customers would recommend them. Their hosting plans include shared and dedicated hosting, and VPS. All plans come with an impressive set of features.

Being that I have multiple sites on my account, some I own and some I have for clients, when billing comes it all falls under one umbrella. I have no problem with this, except that if one service does not pay one month (a client doesn't send payment etc) ALL of my packages are effected.

I am generally very happy with Hostgator. I worked for a company a few years back who used them exclusively, and now I have since moved on and begun using them for my personal and client's sites as well.

Overall, I like HostGator. They are waaaay better than the previous host I had. That company started off great, but got to 60% downtime. I never have that problem with HG.

Their support is amazing, friendly, and never make you feel "stupid" like some others. Even their forum members are EXTREMELY helpful when it comes to learning the ins and outs of this CPanel and hosting stuff. I have no complaints at all.

I've been using HG for a while now, 4 years and I would never use anyone else. As a matter of fact, a friend of mine owns his own hosting site and said I could use his for free, but I declined and stayed with HG!

I am with Hostgator since 2005 and I am pleased with the service I get. I needed a hosting plan that offers unlimited space, traffic an unlimited number of DOMAINS. I have 36 domains now and it costs a little more than a hundred bucks per year. I like that deal! Experienced a few glitches here and there, but the customer service is very responsive.

I have hosted hundreds of sites on thousands of servers and I have to say, HG is by far the best, most well mannered, most customer oriented team I have even seen. Their customer support is absolutely outstanding. Their features go well above and beyond that of any other hosting company I have ever used and their speed is phenomenal. I had an issue just a few weeks ago - my email was not working properly and their support staff spent almost 6 days working on it for me. Even when I had decided to give up, [they] were determined to figure out the problem (which happened to be on MY end - oops)...

HG is one of the most reliable and affordable solutions on the global market.
Their features are suitable for both professionals and newbies. The Cpanel administration is running very effectively, almost any updates/requests/changes are applying immediately. No need for waiting on cron jobs. Its almost like you have a VPS, but without the hassle of maintaining and updating the envoriment.
The only bad thing about HG, it that although it has stable and reliable response times, and stuff, its not a speedy solution. The good thing is they sell VPS appliances also, so you'll always have an option to upgrade if its neccesary.

Host Gator uses one of the greatest control panels on the net which gives it's customers a familiar environment, but, they have also included a slew of additional features - for example, all hosting customers received access to one of the largest collections of very HIGH quality website templates. We're not talking templates which are seen all over the internet either, we are talking Template Monster quality templates (in fact, if I didn't know any better, I would say they ARE from TM) but all members have free access to the templates...

I am fully satisfied with HostGator services. I had some issues with understanding something and the support was really great. They solved my problem in an instance. You have unlimited bandwidth as well as disk space, there are a lot of useful features not only for experts, but for beginners as well. Every HostGator Web Hosting plan includes 24/7/365 support, a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and a 45-day, money-back guarantee. The also have a pretty nice website builder among with an easy to use Control Panel (cPanel),which has set the industry standard for its easy-to-use interface. Novice web builders can also benefit from more than 4,500 professionally-designed templates offered by HostGator, so that sites can be up and running quickly and smoothly.
