The worst product, worst customer service and completely false advertising. My Magic Jack had a warranty but it stopped working within the warranty period. They don't even have a phone number to call, everything is by email and they don't reply. After waiting for months with no response from them I contacted BBB, Attorney General and TV station and even then they did not honor warranty. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Bunch of thieves, thugs and crooks.

I have many magicJacks in my office and they are some of the worst phone systems of all. The other day I renewed my services on a couple devices and they took my money out of my bank but never turn on my services. I called and spoke to some people in the Philippines but never got anything handled. Finally today they sent me an email and stated that due to Rule 6 I had violated the fraud rules. No clue what that could mean other than they do not like that I am asking about my money. They said they were not able to work with the magicJack device they sold me due to this and made no mention of returning my money. I filed a claim at my bank to get my money back and filed a complaint with the FCC on these people. Will also file a complaint with my States Attorney Generals office. It is people like this that makes it so hard to trust anyone anymore. and most all your company has an out by just saying it was a fraud they believed happen when they are the frauds themselves. I do not recommend this company to anyone anywhere.

I have had the best experience with Host Gator, particularly with their customer service... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and I have never waited more than two minutes for a live operator. I currently have a Reseller Account and a VPS Account, and both are fabulous. Host Gator's live chat is brilliant;  Kudos to you Host Gator!!!!  I plan on hosting with you exclusively.  GREAT STUFF!!!

I previously had my site with a very large hosting firm (whose name I will not reveal) and had very negative experiences with them.  System outages, slow response to technical problems, slow server speed etc.  I finally had it and began searching for a new company to transfer to.  I was extremely nervous and could not afford to lose any more business but I finally found Host Gator and was very impressed with what I saw.  The move went super smooth for me and the team at Gost Gators went above and beyond in helping me transfer my site over to their servers.  On top of that, the speed is much better than with my old host.  I needed a special request- hosting a logo securely for my PayPal checkout... this was no problem for Host Gator.  I want to say a big thank you to Jesse and everyone at the Host Gator team.  They have been incredibly helpful and have gone above and beyone the call of duty in helping me transfer my domain over to Host Gator. Needless to say, I think the entire team at Host Gator is phenomenal when it comes to customer service.  I would highly recommend anyone considering hosting to go with them.
