I am on hostgator currently with an dedicated IP address. I am having this problem that my website takes more than 30 seconds to load in China. I don't know why neither the tech support can figure it out. I am thinking to get another dedicated IP to replace my existing one and find out whether it helps.
anyway, hostgator is great for their online technical support which Godaddy dosen't provide. |

I have used both go daddy and hostgator who i am currently using. i love the support from hostgator and the speed of the shared servers that they have. my site was constantly going down when i was on go daddy but sense i switched i think it has gone down once in 3 years of use. if you want a good hosting company that will help you with any question and a tech support that actually knows what they are talking about, go for hostgator. they are the best out there right now from my personal experience. | |||||||

Awesome, awesome web hosting provider. Hostgator has the best support staff ever and that's important for newbie like me. I have installed my wordpress blog with fantastico and my website was online in less than 30 minutes. I would recommend Hostgator to anyone who wants to start their first website. | |||||||

Since you have an “unbiased comment section” here, I hope this comment will also remain here.
Reading your review and comments from others gave me the final inspiration to get another one of my websites hosted at hostgator recently. It the most awful internet experienced I’ve ever had: After payment for a domain-reg plus payment for hosting went through (=paid with credit card!), I’ve got an email from them requesting photos of myself and a scanned image of my credit-card. WTF? AS I said, payment went through – it is out of my banking account! – it is paid to Hostgator!, comprehend? Why would someone ask such crap? I would like to paste the emails from Hostgator here, unfortunately it will be to long. I cancelled everything with Hostgator cause I will not listen to such sh.t. Besides all logins were blocked and the whole thing was useless to me. 2 weeks later – I still haven’t got my money back! What about the 45 day money back policy? As with most companies, when they get big, they get ugly! BEWARE – HOSTGATOR SUCKS – THANK YOU |

Hostgator is good for the value. I'm glad I read reviews on this website and found out about them. I had to make a host transfer and Stephane was even kind enough to help me out! Web hosting hero was to my rescue!
PS Cpanel and one-click install of Wordpress via Fantastico is also great if you are not that technically-oriented. It makes stuff super easy! |

I got shared hosting a long time ago, and it was good, one downtime. I moved to another host for VPS, but moved back. It's worth it, and I know this could be longer. I'm still enjoying the hosting. I'm on a unmanaged dedicated server, yet it's great! | |||||||

Host Gator is great.
I've been with them for some time now for one of my sites and they have good deals and customer service. They also have a good price. I think HostGator is a good pick. |

Awesome service and support! Although it's been only a few months they have been great. I've requested a few server changes and help with set-up on a few occasions and I was able to reach someone immediately and they made all changes within 15 minutes. I couldn't be happier with this company! Highly recommended! | |||||||
