Hostgator -- Scruples = Non Bravery = Non existent.
This provider has just nothing to recommend it at all.
What we have here is a poor excuse for a hosting company.
TEXAS HOST COMPANY HOSTGATOR endlessly advertise how they offer a friendly service with all the help you could wish for.....if only that were true?
They fill e-mail boxes with endless updates about their services and what they can do, but it's a myth and propaganda tool.
COMPLAINTS ARE NOT PUBLISHED or even mentioned, and they could run into not just mere hundreds according to what is there scattered around the Internet. They have many disgruntled customers, and they know it. They brush aside any topic that makes them look bad and actively treat any complaints made as a bit of a joke! using those tired excuses such as 'error' 'mistake' and 'misunderstandings'
Their main aim is grabbing revenue, the rest of the tosh they spill out in self-congratulatory style, which is to conceal all other dubious activities.
WE CITE ONE PARTICULAR COWARDICE INCIDENT that shows this company with a yellow streak down its corporate back. One client was running a website with Hostgator for many many months, and one fine day they suddenly shut it down. Due entirely to 'one' complaint who threatened them with libel action, they ignored the site owner and removed the site without helping their client or talking to him. A court case did happen, but it was thrown out as the judge ruled that it lacked merit, and given that the information was already out on the Internet, threatening libel was used inappropriately. But Hostgator had already convicted their client and ran well before the result. In fact they assisted the complainant to bully and use censorship for his own cause. So who was the abuser here?
IS THIS THE KIND OF HOST YOU WANT FOR YOUR SITE?
