When Will Site Builder Be Ready to Use?

[galinphilly]

I have been trying to get Site Builder (not Site Studio) for some time now, and I just keep getting replies that "we are working on it". I know that it is in beta, but your website promotional materials should not even talk about its availability for use when it is not at all available.

I was almost sure that there was a message here in the forum from HG team saying that sitebuilder would be available one day but could not find it....

However ...

which promotional materials?
I see the wording "Site Builder" on the packages but when I click the question mark it says the site builder is SiteStudio. Is there other place?

I am 99% sure there is a program that was mentioned on the forums called "Site Builder" that is in beta, but Site Studio may just have been described as Site Builder.... I will post a link to the information on it if I find it.... if it is in beta it will probably be a few months before it is open to the public.

Esl,
I'm also sure that the program called Site Builder was mentioned as a future feature. But somehow I could not find it. Maybe it was deleted

Now, about on the web hosting plans, reseller hosting plans and dedicated host plans the site builder is Site Studio for many years now....

SiteBuilder has never been advertised yet at HostGator, we do advertise SiteStudio. SiteBuilder is and was a beta service that we offered via the forum to those who wished to test it, we are not yet ready to release it due to bugs and issues we are working out but we are still working on the project.

Resolution to the problem?
- Design & Develop your own web sites! :P

I received my link today. Thank you Host Gator. So far, I have been much happier with your hosting than Yahoo, with which I was for 3 years. Then their POP3 email went down for over 5 days, and they still had not resolved the problem when I switched over to you guys. So far, I am finding you guys much more responsive. And hopefully, my business will never have 5 days of downtime.

As to the previous poster's snide remark, I run a business, and I am not interested in spending a large amount of time building a site.
