Hi warriors. I need help. I've been with hostgator for about 10 years and never had a problem until this year. I want to think it is coincidence, but I have had countries trying to hack into my site, and hostgator did try to help, so I thought, but sent me to their partner sitelock who told me that it'd be $250+ to fix the problem and 50 a month to keep it that way.

My boss, on the other hand, has been building sites that are doing very well for a few months now, and Hostgator stopped his websites without telling him. He called them and they told him that he went over his bandwidth.

While I do understand the issue with the bandwidth, I do not understand their 'customer service'. They never even gave him a warning. Now it's costing him $ for them to do something to get the sites back up, and he'll have to pay another 200 a month to keep them running,

Do any of you know of a better hosting company? I've been looking around, but keep finding hostgator as one of the best.

    Looking at your issue the major problem that seems with you is customer support and an being in development and designing field I do look for web hosting companies that can offer top class hosting service and support , I know worked with few companies in my last 8 years experience I have sortlisted few providers that have really helped my business grow with their support and service, I think you can try them, they are not the big names likes bluehost , hostgator and 60 more owned by EIG, but the are old enough in this business to be trusted, try :
    1) Rshosting
    2) Web Hosting UK
    3) Siteground
    this are some really good providers your can try to move to.

    Thank you so much. I will look into these. My boss had to get his own dedicated server for right now, just hoping this loss didn't affect his rankings.

    Hi,

    Over the years, I've heard Hostgator is the best...yada yada...

    IMHO, I like Hostdeals...for ALL the obvious reasons...

    Uptime, customer service, prices, options, reliability...etc

    And without all that bs you and your boss is facing with Hostgator...

    What a nightmare...hope you find what you're looking for soon...

    Hope this helps...
