I've been with hostgator for about 7 years now. Of course people who don't understand hosts like big al are going to try to give companies a bad rep lol.

The pricing is excellent, the customer support is great and I have never had a problem with them.

Looks like you mean and I quote...

"All this for just $8.95 per month!"

Also I'm pretty sure that I can beat the price when it comes to shared hosting

X10hosting offers free shared hosting and gives you 1gb of space. If you come close to using that amount, you can put in a ticket and they will review your site to make sure it is not breaking any TOS at which point they give you unmetered resources. That is to say if the hard drives fill up then obviously you can't store any more stuff until they get upgraded.

I find it presumptuous of you to say this when you have no idea of my experience with hosts.
Where do you get your information from to make such an uninformed statement?

I am basing my comments on my personal experiences with Hostgator over many years, NOT as an agent of theirs. How about you?

If you have had good service from them, then I am happy for you, but you are not qualified to comment on others experience unless you were directly involved with them.

If Hostgator had done and were doing the right thing, then I would praise them but so far in my experience they have not done so.

If any organization does the right thing then it is proper to praise them, but conversely, if they consistently do the wrong thing then they should be exposed for these actions.

So, where did things between you and them go wrong?

Oh and just an FYI, that really isn't good advice. I can see it easily landing someone in hot water for all kinds of various legal reasons. Just be careful how far you decide to take it.

As has been pointed out by the mods here, this is not the place to post a long list of complaints.
A google search will provide plenty of complaints against hostgator like http://www.argonhosting.com/blog/blo...er-complaints/
To show just one link.

Interesting, to see that instead of helping settle a complaint against hostgator you resort to veiled threats.

I have been with Hostgaor for years and I am always surprised at the length they will go to to try and resolve any issue I have. Also like the 24/7 service they give, I only have had great experiences with them

And yesterday they had the nerve to email me a request for a survey.
I won't post what I sent to them. But rest assured it was straight to the point and not polite...

That's not a threat, that's common sense. And I'm not looking for other people's complaints.

I asked YOU, not anyone else, where things went wrong between you and them.

I moved a long time ago from Hostgator and have never regretted that move.
