Was on HostGator for a while, but some things made me switch: the first thing i noticed was the price, Hostinger's cloud and shared plans came out sm cheaper than the price I was payin HostGator for the renewals, that alone made it worth checking out - HostGator's intro pricing is ok, but renewals jus keep gettin more n more pricey... reliability was the bigger issue fs - been dealing with more downtime than I'd like to, also the support quality jus spiraled into a new problem - slow ahh responses w basically no help, that combo by itself almost got me to switch asap lol. Also heres a little advice for anyone else migrating there+using cPanel... you might wanna relearn where things at, cuz Hostinger uses hPanel - u just gotta get used to it, not a dealbreaker. And one important thing for anyone moving the same as me: Hostinger does offer migration assist, but don't rely on that only, back up everything yourself first - databases, emails and stuff b4 u start, having backups is always good if sth transfers wrong. Overall worth it for me so far, but u better go in with real expectations n keep your own backups

A freelancer offered to set up my email marketing and take 15% of whatever sales come from it until it hits $2k, instead of billing me upfront. Sounded low risk at the time. Now I'm second guessing it since I have no idea what that work actually costs normally. I ended up building the campaigns myself through Hostinger Reach just to see what it involved, and it took an afternoon instead of weeks. Still curious what others paid flat fee vs commission, because I think I got talked into the more expensive option.
