Hostgator has the P's down pact in the hosting biz



Whether it's Product, price or support you need, STOP you're search right here. Hostgator can show you what makes a good web host?

Well they need to first have the product you're looking for right?

HostGator has a wide array of product offerings, from four different shared accounts. (Of which three offer Unlimited hosting of multiple domains). Five Re-seller hosting plans, and four dedicated server plans. I have been unable to find such a wide array of product offerings in the hosting business. Now it's not just their wide array of offerings, but each package comes with every current feature you could want

  • Web site builder
  • Pre installed scripts such as OScommerce
  • PHP, MYsql, PERL, MS Frontpage extensions etc.
  • Multiple domain hosting on baby, Swamp, and Semi Dedicatedhosting packages
Now just for a moment let's discuss the nastier side of things when choosing a web host. This site is hosted with Host Gator and have I had a couple of hic ups? Yes, sure have. Now we're not talking big troubles with the servers going down or anything and come to think of it I can't recall ever noticing down time on my sites I have with Host Gator. But the issues I have experienced... taken care of instantly. I've emailed support three times on different issues with scripts I was attempting to install and each time action was taken appropriately to accommodate my needs. Then in one response from support they suggested I try out their LIVE SUPPORT feature. (You can see it here by clicking on the Online Chat option)

Well let me tell you wow. That solved any questions I had even quicker. IT was like asking my friend a question over instant messenger. It was a great feeling to correspond with someone on the other end directly, and in a couple of different instances where I've had questions I've talked with more then one person so that tells me they have a support "TEAM" not just one person answering emails.

Overall I'd give Host Gator an 8/10. Their pricing is decent, support has been nothing but fantastic and another little point of note. I started with the baby plan from HostGator. When I outgrew that plan it was simple for me to upgrade to a larger plan and they took care of moving my sites over. I don't know how many of you have gone through a host change over but it can be quite trying on the patience if you have a few sites. That was the icing on the cake for me.
