As a result of my research and study, I come out with this statistical table.

Over 60 Tweets Happy Tweets
Unhappy Tweets
Tweets 44 16
Total Percentage 73.4% 26.6%

As you can see, only 26.6% of total Tweets was a unhappy tweets. No kidding! There’s 73.4% clients are happy with Hostgator services and shared their happiness on Twitter. Think again, they already hosted for thousands of sites but still can satisfied their clients with the service provided. In fact, they are one of the oldest web hosting company in the industry. As a conclusion, we consider theme as a PERFECT hosting proved by excellent search results.

But this percentages of review is negligible and might be changed by time. Better yet, try find such a hosting company with the same plan feature as Hostgator (Unlimited Hosting Space, UNLIMITED Site Bandwidth, Google Adwords Credit, and Included Blogging and Ecommerce Features) but with cheaper monthly hosting price. If you do find it, please do post a comment down here and I want to retract this recommendation.

Verdict: Twthosting highly recommend Hostgator as a web hosting for your site!

Then we looked at “Hostgator Bad”, “Hostgator worst”, “Hostgator Sucks” and “Hostgator hate” as a keywords for bad review research.
