Best I've Used Yet!

I've uses several hosts over the years and then found HG. They are by far the best both in price and reliability. The first time I used them I talked to CS a couple of times to get the idea how they do things. After that, it's pretty straight forward. AND they have tutorials that show you EXACTLY what/how to do what you need to do. I won't go anywhere else. I'm not sure why we're rating Traffic, traffic is in the advertising not the host. The host just makes sure your site is available. HG does their job!

I recommend this web host!
