This is a hostgator review posted Fedz on 25 April 2007

I first started off on the Baby plan (shared) then as everything was fantastic and my site has never been so stable I decided to upgrade to the Aluminium plan (reseller). All within 2 weeks of signing up with HG.

HG upgraded me within a few hours and everything went fantastic, couldn’t wish for better. I thought I was in hosting heaven

I was sent my welcome/account details and when I logged in they’d setup my account with my shared primary domain when on the upgrade order I had asked for my other domain as primary domain.

So I contacted live support (who in the very few times I’ve contacted them always say email in) who directed me to a form to fill in to change the accounts primary domain.

No problem and off I went. When I got to the bottom of the form it said I had to agree to a $5 fee.

Hey! I thought whilst it’s only $5 it wasn’t my fault upgrades messed up.

That was the last straw and hence why I cancelled my HG account and moved to another host.

I wasn’t happy about the ads in shared cpanel and the ads on error pages.

HG have this active idea of putting ads where they can without telling customers. Sneaky …

People don’t pay to have ads put upon them. Whilst they are not much and acceptable it’s the future of HG I question and it’s not one I am prepared to be used through.

HG is getting very commercialised at customers expense
