Hostgator forum
This review complements my Hostgator Review. Once you’re signed up it’s a plus if you can get good support from admins and fellow members. Hostgator is a pretty relaxed forum as you can add a signature and as long as it’s not Spam you can post links to your own site. They even have a forum for site promotion. For prospective customers the pre-sales forum is a good starting point and you can read through some of the reviews in the review forum to get a better overall impression of Hostgator.
The forum itself is reasonably busy and the users are pretty expert so you will get answers to complicated problems. In addition the Hostgator staff is very willing to help. There is also a forum for Hostgator resellers which is an added bonus.
