Thoughts about Hostgrator

[temi]

I have been using them for about 6 months now, have not noticed any downtime

Hostgator is a great choice. What I like about reading feedback about hostgator is that the people that love their hostgator hosting are people that have used or are using it and know what they are doing. So, they're happy cause they knew what they wanted, seized it, and got the results they wanted.

The people that seem to be upset with hostgator are people that didn't have direction, didn't know what they wanted, purchased it anyway.. then things fell apart due to their own lack of knowledge and immediately hostgator is to blame.

Same with the unmentioned GoDaddy.

I definitely understand the point you are making. I tend to notice in all walks of life, many will blame everyone but themselves although they were at fault for not knowing what they were doing.

Have been using their service for over 02 years now. So far no problems.

Preach on brother! Not that the OP necessarily fits this category of person but: I never understood the people who didn't evaluate their needs before trying to buy. Work out what you need, how much you can spend, whats more important to you, then for shopping. That way you know exactly what you want, and when you find it, you know it. Just because a host doesn't offer the same bottom-feeder prices, doesn't mean is not a great value. What it comes down to is: don't forget to evaluate your situation. Don't get caught up in numbers that mean nothing.

Now, about HostGator. They are key player right now no doubt. Lots of happy customers. I personally have had accounts with them and to me their service was defiantly decent. There are better hosts, but HG ain't too bad. Not the best server speeds, occasional downtime, but overall: decent.

I have heard that their support is very good, however personally haven't used them.
