    Don't worry about the other invoice, Dreamhost once charged me for $600 out of the blue. They fixed it within 45 minutes, said it was just a case of fat fingers ;)

    yeah, i would recommend staying away from hostgator. They shut down my site without warning because my website used too much cpu. They wouldnt even let me recover backups. AND i didnt get my 30 money back refund.

    I hate them too.

    yes hostgator does not refund like they say they do. i had an account with them and was within my 45 days. i got back only a percentage of what i paid them. boycott hostgator!

    thank you mr. hostgator for your concern, thank you all posters and viewers. I'm planning order a dedicated from 1and1 , hope i won't be disappointed at this time.Maybe my luck is bad with HG. I'll be very happy if they refund money :)

    If you don't like a certain company's way of doing things then take your lazy a$$ to another company. Issue solved! ;)

    BTW, all of our sites are hosted at HostGator! :)

    impulse8 I know you are lying. If I'm wrong provide a ticket number and I'll give you $100.

    wckd what is your ticket number? If you were within the 45 days and you requested a refund you would have been given it. If I'm wrong you too will get a $100.

    Every time I've called someone out offering $100 no ones ever proved me wrong. I wonder why....

    Codylightning did you ever even have an account with us? The majority of people that say this get suspended for not paying their bills. I have no idea if this is the case with you or not but providing some evidence would be helpful.

    They are a HUGE over-seller. They also have a resource usage limit:

    So HostIcan won't suit him :).
