My Hostgator Review (bought Shared and Reseller hosting at BlackFriday 2012)
Order was quick, i got my account within 15 minutes ready. I was enligible for free cpanel accounts transfer from my old hosting. Ok they transfered it, frequently updated me on progress via email. The result? They transfered all accounts, 3 of them was around 9GB in size and they had to do Rsync manual
transfer which taken around 3 days!!!!! Ok, they emailed me its finished. I checked it and i needed to fix around 12 mysql databases from 3 cpanel accounts, they contained no data. Ok its problem of cpanel probably but also Hostgator problem because they did not veriffied transfer integrity!! As a result i lost money and alot of time fixing mysqls and alot of stress. I rate Hostgator transfer staff as mostly
ignorant and not professional because they was not able to check whether files and databases were 100% transfered. There is another issue with Hostgator - they suspended suddenly directory with aroun 10 addon domains (websites) because of high load. And i have been solving their f*ck* ticket and 3 replies whole 3 hours. That is teribly slow resonse time in case when your websites are down!!
3 hours downtime because their slow technical support! Finally my reseller account got suspended withing 5 months because my custommers hosted files against Hostgator TOS. They refused to give me all backups! I dont recommend using Hostgator reseller unless you strictly check for your custommers hosted content.
My HostGator rating:Account setup: 9/10
Files Transfer from old hosting: 3/10
Support: 7/10
Flexibility: 4/10
Uptime, reliability: 9/10
