Does anyone know if it's normal practise for Hostgator to leave customers hanging once they decide to leave? Seems fairly petty and unprofessional of such a large host.
As a webmaster you should always have local backups, this post would not be necessary if you did. I'm sure there is more to this story as well, hostgator didn't get to be a multi million dollar company by screwing over everyone.
