Since I last posted my websites were hacked, all three had malicious code but my primary website for my business was completely unusable.

I could be offering this as an excuse for not posting for two weeks – but the excuse is really only good for about a week of it. The other week was me being distracted.

But I’m really writing it to bitch about Hostgator – I should really do a real review. Anyway – they were worse than useless. When I called they sounded like they were going to be very helpful but when I said the site had been hacked and there was malicious code they let me know the team that handles that doesn’t work on weekends. Huh?? Is that like a joke – no seriously.

Not a joke. So I did some research found a new host and had all three sites migrated to a host that backs up daily – scans for malicious code 24/7 and helps if you do get hacked. A little more expensive but not really that bad. Anyway I chose SiteGround. I strongly recommend against Hostgator.

You know what they say “you get what you pay for”. I don’t happen to believe that but I do believe you don’t get what you don’t pay for.
