Maria was amazing

Maria was amazing. She deserves a raise or a promotion. She took the time to resolve all 4 of our major tech support problems, including billing. She has been the best tech support rep we have dealt with in the many years of doing business with HostGator.

Nihala did great with helping me cancel our plan. She didn't make it overly complicated. It says alot about a business for it to be easy to onboard and exit when the service is no longer needed.

I was attempting to reduce my file size and didn’t realize that removing items older than a year would also delete everything from my Outlook contacts and history. That was not my intention.

Natasha with UH Support was able to walk me through the process of restoring everything. I sincerely appreciate her time, patience, and effort in getting it all back together.

Great job, and thank you again.

Stuck with the renewal process

Stuck with the renewal process, as new plans are significantly less expensive than renewal. Sagar, the support representative, assisted me in retrieving my old backup and also looked into the best renewal discount. Overall, fantastic support!

Very satisfactory HostGator online help

After a short journey thru AI questions, I was assigned to Anish to resolve an FTP connection error. He gave me a new login ID and password, and had me connected again very quickly.
