Hostgator raised its price without any notice, from $12.95 to $21.95, approximately a year ago.
I just received a bill for $24.85. Is this the updated cost?
In all honesty, I don’t think Hostgator is worth that monthly cost.
Hello, Ann. They raised their rates since they incur significant costs in advertising in order to gain market share. It’s equivalent to paying more for branded clothing than for private label products of comparable quality.
It’s really frustrating when a service like Hostgator raises prices without giving you a heads-up, especially when it feels like the value you’re getting doesn’t match the cost. The jump from $12.95 to $21.95 was already pretty steep, and now with the bill at $24.85, it’s understandable why you’re questioning whether it’s worth it. This could be the updated cost, but it’s definitely worth reaching out to their customer service to confirm and see if there’s any room for negotiation or discounts. If Hostgator isn’t meeting your needs or justifying the price hike, it might be time to explore other hosting options that offer better value for your money. There are plenty of alternatives out there that could fit your needs and budget more comfortably.
