Hostgator is a huge privately had hosting business operating from several state of the art centers in Dallas, Texas. Hostgator was started in 2002, since then they have actually expanded quickly and currently host over 400,000 sites.

Hostgator provides many different webhosting packages, and cater to a broad variety of consumers. From the first time webmaster who requires basic, tension free of cost hosting for their personal website; all the means through to large companies, who require specialist dedicated hosting services.

Hostgator's hosting packages can be split into three groups; conventional shared hosting strategies (appropriate for the substantial majority individuals), reseller hosting strategies (these are mainly for individuals and businesses that wish to "resell" their account resources to customers of their own), and finally devoted server plans (these accounts provide client their own server, so they don't need to share its resources with anyone else). Really few of us will every need a specialized server so this review will focus on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.

Features

Hostgator's three major shared hosting plans are called: "Hatchling" (the entry level plan priced at $6.95 / month), "Infant" (this is the most popular strategy, and it is likely to satisfy the requirements of a really large range of clients), and "Swamp" (much the exact same as the "Infant" strategy, but with increases in bandwidth and disk area, priced at $14.95 / month).

For a complete list of features and a side by side comparison of all hosting plans you should go to Hostgator's internet site here. Below is a testimonial of the most crucial functions of the "Infant" strategy, this is most likely the most appropriate package for a lot of users, and it is our favorite strategy.

Disk space 100GB - This amount has actually been just recently upgraded by Hostgator from 5GB to an enormous 100GB. All individuals are likely to find it difficult to exhaust this quantity of disk space.

Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Also increased is the bandwidth allotment, from 75GB to an apparently excessive 1000GB. Once again pretty much absolutely no opportunity of utilizing all that, however it's nice to know that you definitely won't be facing additional fees for reviewing your limitation, even if you have a very busy site(s).

Site Studio website contractor - This is a wonderful complimentary program that allows you to construct your internet site from scratch. There is no need to take my word for it, as Hostgator offers us with a trial version of the software on their website!

Unrestricted add-on domains - This truly is the stand apart attribute of this hosting strategy (the "Hatchling" strategy just allows 1 domain), and enables you to host as many websites as you like on a single account, at no additional cost. All your internet sites then share your account resources. This allows you to make complete use of your large bandwidth and disk area allowances, and host several sites at a portion of the normal expense. Fantastic!

99.9 % Uptime assurance - This basically tells us that Hostgator is a severe host providing a trustworthy service. If uptime drops below this figure in any provided month then you don't spend for that months hosting, it's as basic as that! We would never ever consider making use of a host that did not provide a solid uptime guarantee; this is purely since there is only one good reason why a host will not offer an uptime guarantee - undependable uptime!

30 Day refund assurance - This has actually become a rather basic feature in the hosting area, though it's nice to have for added assurance.

Immediate setup - Many hosting suppliers take 24-48 hours to setup your account however Hostgator guarantees to have you up and running in under 15 minutes (they do not charge a setup charge either)!

Unrestricted MySQL data sources - This is extremely helpful since each Fantastico (see below) script needs its own MySQL database.

Fantastico DeLuxe - This impressive program permits you to immediately set up over 50 scripts by means of your control panel. Scripts include blog sites, online forums, galleries, shopping carts, and more.

Unlimited email accounts - Permits you to have as numerous, or as few, different email addresses as you like.

cPanel control panel - At the heart of any internet hosting experience is the control panel, luckily Hostgator uses one of the very best units around, a cPanel. It's well set out and easy to run. It includes numerous functions and offers excellent efficiency. Most importantly, there is a full working demo on the Hostgator internet site, so you can check it out yourself!

Client service and technical support

Hostgator offers us 24/7 phone support, and live online chat. The fact that you are provided 2 options to get immediate technical support at any time of the day is great. Our experience has constantly been very excellent when speaking to Hostgator, their operatives are extremely courteous and most importantly they appear to understand their things when taking care of technical issues. We always recommend contacting them yourself prior to signing up. Ask a question and see if you're made an impression on by their feedback. This always informs you a lot about a business!

Performance

The efficiency from Hostgator's servers is excellent! Hostgator place much tighter limitations on the number of sites sharing the exact same server compared with most other shared hosting service providers. This gives higher dependability because less strain is put on the servers; and it also considerably enhances the rate at which your websites run.

Server performance is an additional among the vital locations where Hostgator identify themselves from the group of other webhosting.

Our decision

Overall there is so much to such as about the means Hostgator does business, they really do appear to have a great grasp on what the typical client requires from a web hosting service provider. Seldom do you come throughout reports of unhappy Hostgator clients, and after hosting with them ourselves we now understand why! At just $9.95 / month for the "Baby" strategy (which consists of unrestricted domains); anybody looking to host even more than one website has a rather simple choice to make.
