Eh, it works
I experienced little downtime, and websites load fairly fast. That is the only reason I am a HostGator customer.
They do grossly oversell. If you use a certain percentage of the server's resources, you will be suspended. Whether within your purchased amount of disk space/bandwidth or not.
A mandatory search portal (Information.com) is put on "https" access to all hosted domains without notifying customers in any way. Purchasing a dedicated IP will remove it from your primary domain. It can not be removed from add-on domains.
Changing your primary domain is a hassle. In addition to a $5.00 charge, you have to remove just about everything in your account. Then, wait 24 hours for the switch to take effect.
I have had a poor experience with the Support Team overall.

Best host.
I bought hosting from hostgator last month and its the best host known to me works great. I am previously on free hosting at http://www.yfchost.com Though the free host was great but there was a downtime like 2 to 5 hours in complete 30 days. And sometimes it affected my site. I am happy with hostgator and I am working on my new site again. Review Added on: 2008-06-18
Hostgator Rocks!
I have hosting with them and they are fairly good. Unfortunately all 5 of these top web hosts are massive over sellers. Review Added on: 2008-03-28
