Host Gator Customer Reviews

Avg. Customer Score for Host Gator: 81.11 Points

average hosting provider
Total Score: 66/100
They were everything its competitors are with some different structured architecture. The interface didn't really excite me. They offer enough to keep an IT department busy, but the look and feel is a bit awkward.This web hoster had a lot of features but no particular specialization that marked it as distinct from other web hosting companies. If the applications became focused on a certain specialty I might become more enthusiastic about being a Hostgator evangelist.

New major player

Our transition from a dinosaur web hosting company to a major player in the web hosting space like Hostgator was eye opening. The ease of use was amazing. All our web administrators and project leads were excited to get involved using the newly available administrative tools, traffic tips, the premium services and the seemingly unending options for website composition and data management techniques.

Not half bad!
Total Score: 72/100
This web host had good customer service and a lively template of site offerings. Their witty names for the alligator hosting packages were fun. But the look and feel of the inside was a bit startling and not quite the interface ease of use I were used to. Creating the web project was stalled a little bit by some hiccups in the new administration panel. They have bee a log discussed hosting option for me and frankly I expected more. But for adequate hosting, memory usage, and reliability it seems fine.

The money back guarantee might be the best way to try this web hosting company out. The zero tolerance for spam only stretches as afar as the software can detect it. Legal adult content is an option that some entrepreneur users might value. Uptime guarantees are also as good as their servers can deliver. Hosting looks really good with all these guarantees, if you can get them to redeem their promises.
