I have completed 12 months with hostgator. I would say it was a road full of compromises for me. They never provide a solution to my problem. I am hosting wordpress blogs on my sites.

1. I have to disable the wp-cron files or it makes my site down
2. I have other friends hosting wordpress blogs(more than me) on hostgator and they say they never disable the wp-cron files and still works fine.
3. HostGator never informs that they will limit the processes upto 25. This is the problem created by my wp-cron files. Processes overflows.
4. There servers are also slower. Because they have now 1.8 million domains hosted that means their servers are definitely overloaded.

I tried that hostgator should find me a solution. but they say that its a wordpress problem. But I have hostings from other cheaper companies, they work fine with wordpress. Now I am hoping to get a solution thru this thread.

With all these problems, I m still staying with hostgator because.
1. I have learned to compromise.
2. There downtime is real low. Except for 13/05/09 theplace outage it very rarely goes down.
I shall rate hostgator 3/10. unless my problems are rectified.
