In reply to Karol K.. I'm not a "casual user", and have been using HostGator for about 7 years now, for dozens of websites. Overall, they've been great; almost zero significant problems. I almost wish I had reason to switch to a cooler hosting provider, but everything has been so smooth there's no motivation to change.

Despite the constant negative press, covfefe. Whoops, I mean, despite the constant negative press, GoDaddy as a web host has been getting great reviews from users for years now. This reminds me of how many years it took for “insiders” to stop kvetching about PayPal and face up to it being a good, reliable service.

So either EIG paid for these results or now owns CodeinWP. Those are the only plausible explanations for such ridiculous results.

In reply to VC Nickels. I had issues with HostGator several years ago, but they've been fine for a long time now. I host a bunch of client sites there and have had very few downtime or speed issues in the past 3 or 4 years.

In reply to Karol K.. That may be but they are *still* awful. I'm sure the big sites like WPBeginner get treated like royalty for the traffic they drive to them. Regardless, I can tell you that if you need support from them or have a problem with their billing they will leave you hanging. They have been sliding down hill rapidly since they were taken over by EIG. Every company EIG has gobbled up (which is quite a lot) has serious issues with performance and, even more so, customer service. HostGator and the rest of the EIG companies should not be supported and sending small businesses to them because of an affiliate deal is an incredible disservice .

Okay, so I had some HostGator troubles myself in the past. I’m not a huge fan by any means. Just wanted to set this straight.
But still, I can’t advise people to stop using HG if they’re on it and they’re enjoying it. Plus, even some bigger sites in the community seem to be quite happy with their HG hosting, like WPBeginner, for example.

I’m using Hostgator, and I love it. I can rely on their customer care service team for fast and friendly responses. It’s a reliable and easy to use the platform. I recommend this to all my fellow.
