First 4 days: Fantastic service!!

For those people who might be considering switching to HostGator let me provide some facts about my recent switch to HostGator.

1) I was hosted with one of the largest top-10 hosts with good support but I didn't particularly like their control panel in comparison to what I saw on HostGator's demo, I didn't like their limited e-mail and spam black-listing capabilities, and I didn't like the fact that few upgrades and improvements were made during 5 years.

2) I purposely picked the "non-business" holiday weekend Dec 30,31 and Jan 1 intending to avoid any possible downtime or glitches with a switch to HostGator hoping to have my site switch completed by Jan 2. There was no downtime or any glitches because:

a) Less than 30 minutes after ordering service with HostGator my account was set up and ready for uploading and I was provided with the new nameservers information to move my domain!! I was impressed and started uploading immediately.

b) After only a few hours of transferring my files, setting up my email, looking at all the features in the control panel, etc. I began to notice that my domain had already started propagating to the HostGator server. Now I'm even more impressed! No downtime and no glitches!

c) Tonight, Jan 3, I e-mailed HostGator support a question about IP's. In the time it took me to smoke a cigarette, when I returned to my computer HostGator support had already replied to my question!

The outstanding service I've experienced so-far speaks for itself! I can't think of anything negative at this time............... well, maybe that I think the crocodile is ugly!!
