Pésimo Servicio
Hice mi cambio de paquete de Shared Hosting a WP Hosting en diciembre de 2022, justo para tener más seguridad. Posteriormente mi sitio fue hackeado a...
principios de enero 2023. Ha transcurrido 1 mes y medio desde que mi sitio fue atacado y sigue son funcionar. En soporte técnico se la pasan diciendo que mi caso lo agregarán a su lista, pero no resuelven nada. Los tickets no resuleven nada. SU proveedor de seguridad SiteLock tarda días en contestar... pero no a ellos les dan respuesta... mientras, aunque mi sitio ya se ha restablecido, aún no tengo la confianza de colocar de nuevo el backup por la amenaza de que mi sitio sea nuevamente atacado en su hospedaje. BRINDAN POCA SEGURIDAD y NO RESUELVEN EFECTIVAMENTE LOS PROBLEMAS QUE PUEDAN SURGIR... YA NO CONFÍO EN HOSTGATOR. Piénsalo más de 2 veces antes de contratar con hostgator.

Good or just advertisement - you decide
A2 suspended my a/c for not paying an invoice that did not exist. Extremely disappointed at the quality of service offered. Ph number not attended.
