Gatorhost - Experience with them?

Jose Rosas · 06-26-2005, 12:39 AM

I'm a Midphase client (Autica) and looking for better service, I found Gatorhost and got impressed by the offer, it seems to good to be true and I have been reading some articles and they are really ok, I will like to make sure there is not a relation in between them, is there anyone here who knows who they are or had any experience with them?

In a site Hostdetective.net I found them ranked in the top, but I also saw their banner in the top of the page... Please excuse my ignorancy, I'm more a mannager than a technician and trying to learn as much I can to take right desitions.

It would help me to be clarifie if they have anything to do with that site or not.

Thanks

You mean HostGator?

I've been with them for a very short while and they seem to be fine. I haven't had to use support yet (a good thing I guess) so I can't speak about that. Uptime is good and the speed is ok.

I like that reseller accounts come with shared ssl and the whm autopilot program.

To my knowledge Hostdetective.net isn't affiliated with any particular host, and though they do accept advertising they are not biased.

HostDetective is owned by HostGator.

Once they bought HostDetective, HostGator immediately rose to the top of the list and fake reviews were used to knock others down the list. I know of at least two companies that were knocked down the list by bad reviews that were posted by websites never hosted by those companies.

Good info. I didn't know that.

I also use them, but luckily I've received good service from them so far. What problems have you encountered?

I've got a hostgator package and they are superb! I asked them a question on support tickets and they replied within 1 hour.

Excellent!

I've use Hostgator for a few sites (I have a reseller account) and have never had any problems with them.

yeah i know of one host myself :/ ... hosts shouldnt own a hosting directory, well at least not corperate hosts. Bottom lines kill "doing the right thing"

I had an account with hostgator but their support is no good. I would not recommend them.
