Host Gator has issued my company an IP address approx 1 year ago, after attempting to locate why our website was being deranked by all search engines even after spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on seo and marketing we found it was the IP issued by Host Gator but to make matters worse they claim they forgot to clear the last owners entry name from the IP and did clear it but that was not the correct fix. We demanded a brand new IP and was denied, Host Gator ran our business into the ground and failed to even show any care in the world.
