Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

What it all boils down to is trust andwhat you get for your money.
I run a web design firm in Toronto and I offer web hosting as an ancillary service. Many of my clients mock my prices as I charge $14.95 a month for business web hosting when companies like Go Daddy charge $4.95.
Most of my clients don’t understand that you pay for what you get. With our hosting plans, we consider ourselves to offer full service. We do *everything* for our clients including taking care of technical problems when they occur. With other companies, you’re on your own. How does some lady who sells clothes for a living know what a DNS server is or what MX records are and how to set them up?
The other thing is that companies who charge minimal amounts of money for hosting cram as many websites as they possibly can onto one server. There is no priority of service and if the system goes down, well thats just the way it is I suppose.
I spend $4.95 at the coffee shop on coffee and a bagel. Surely people perceive their business to be worth more than that. Sadly, many don’t.
Find someone close to home, someone who is reasonably priced and someone who has been referred to you. Thats you’re best bet.
Reliabilty, Quality of Service, Price. Usually you can only pick two when it comes to website hosting.
