Several Reasons why Hostgator is a terrible host
August 22nd, 2008
I’ll leave these mostly in the form of hyperlinks to their own forums:
1) They store passwords in cleartext
2) HostGator doesn’t send maintenance notices through email
3) HostGator throttles emails from each domain
4) Despite throttling (see #3), HostGator’s servers still get blacklisted
5) HostGator’s support team does actually ask for passwords, which is a no-no in the tech biz
I could list a dozen others, but clearly this is ridiculous. I’m moving away from them ASAP and I suggest that anyone else do the same.
