Feels Like a Scam – Hidden Charges and Zero Accountability

I honestly feel scammed by HostGator. They've been charging me for services I never knowingly signed up for — including Private Registration (charged multiple times!) and Professional Email. I never asked for these, and they quietly added them to my bill.

Even after escalating the issue months ago, no one from their team has actually looked into my account properly. Support has been useless in issuing a refund — just generic replies and no real help. It’s like they don’t care at all about what their customers are actually paying for.

I will do my best to cancel all services and let me friends know not to use the service.

Preema D did a great job

Preema D did a great job. She resolved my issue with a wp dashboard and site not coming up. Had critical errors. She stayed with it and solved it on the first try.

I have had no end of help from your support staff and Swathi and Ramya have been most patient with this senior citizen.
They stepped me through how to fix my problem with easy to understand instructions and even went to the trouble of sending pictures of where to go in wordpress to get me up and running so my older brain understood what they meant.
Would recommend this support system.

My issue with my Hostgator website being down was resolved after one conversation and about five minutes of work on their part without any further issue. The representative was courteous and directly helpful.
