This is a hostgator review posted by jkmcgrath on 26 June 2006

I wanted to take the time and share my intial experience with Hostgator as a hosting company.

Hostgator is with out a doubt the best I have used to date.

* Support
o Tickets answered in < 4 hrs generaly
o Issue resolved first time around
o Knowledge base needs more info
* Performance
o HTTP response Speed is unbelievable
o MySQL/phpmyadmin handles large chunks of data
o FTP is more than adequate
* CPANEL
o Ver 10 and it works!

Having tried, Ipower (3 years), Godaddy(2 days they suck so bad), Directnic(5 years) and had performance and support issues with all 3, Hostgator is a divine change.

The ease with which I moved my site to Hostgator is unblievable! Everything worked as advertised and more. The last move I made from server to server with in Ipower, took days because Ipowers service and support is so poor. Godaddy, forget it, they are slower than Ipower on the backend and thats SLOW. Directnic is too parinoid to allow anything to run but overall they are a decent hosting service.

Glad I found Hostgator, I think I have a permanent home.

You guys rock and understand that in todays world, the better mouse trap is backing up what you sell. Theres none better than Hostgator.
