    I have one site on hostgator and three on i-power web. Both are on Linux and both give me access to the .htaccess file. I tried Godaddy for awhile, but they would not give me access to the .htaccess file for each site on a shared server for some reason. I don't have this problem with Hostgator.

    Thumbs up from me.

    Very good customer service. I made a mistake by paying them twice. However i didn't know it was my mistake and though i 've got double charge. I sent a email to them and got respond in the same day and the money is credit to my account.

    I use them a lot, and I'm very happy with the service. In fact, just yesterday I got another account to handle a larger waesite I'm setting up.

    That is extraordinary. Great customer relations. Puts them in the top 10% easily.

    i have an online reseller plan with hostgator. Lately i need extra bandwidth within my plan so i went to ask the live person. Sadly, they do not provide such services i.e. no extra bandwidth or not ADD on. That's really make me feel sad as it's not a very flexible plan at all.

    So just an advise for those who may one day hit max Bandwidth with this host gator, your site may be just down for the rest of the month.

    you could've upgraded to a higher bandwith plan, no? :) also, its' better to email them for support because their email support is far better than the live support.:)

    Poor experience with my blog site. Had my first outage and lost my database last night after just a few hours of being up. Poor tech support also. Didn't give me any help in understanding what had happened. I cancelled and am now looking for a more resiliant site. Any suggestions are welcomed.

    Hi I am UK based, I have several minor sites with HG - support is above average, plus it seems they do care - you only have to visit their own forums to see some (allowed) negative comment, this is healthy in my opinion.
    Many hosting companies censor criticism.

    Regards
    Tony

    I have been using them for over a year now and am satisfied. The extra 3-5 bux a month is worth it for reliability and good service.
