Editor's choice, #1 budget hosting, top ten all-time web hosts, let's just say that HostGator does things right. If you've ever heard any complaints about this company, don't rule them out just yet. Embracing HostGator as one of the most popular and well-respected web hosting companies on the internet is necessary. They cater to individuals and big businesses alike. They also host over 5 million domains and have remarkable customer support.
HostGator offers a variety of web hosting plans, ranging from reseller domains to giant servers to run a business. We'll stick to the "hatchling plan" in this article, which is plenty sufficient for any individual who only wants a single domain to begin with. You get the service for $3.96/month, and can get your first month for a penny. Sounds pretty good so far I'd say.
Let's go over all of the features that embracing HostGator would offer:
- Unlimited Bandwidth: This is how much data can be transferred with your domain. Unlimited means that you don't have to worry about a certain amount of content on your site, you're free to create.
- Unlimited Disk Space: This accommodates and holds all files that constitute your website including HTML files, graphics, scripts, and multi-media content. Again, with unlimited you're free to focus on quality, not quantity.
- Web Tools: SiteBuilder and Site Studio get your website up and running with over 4 thousand templates to choose from.
- Domain Transfer: If you are looking to switch from a previous web host to HostGator, the process is free, including domain, SQL, and script transfer.
- Google AdWords: Get $100 free credit for AdWords to get your website's name out there.
- cPanel Control: This is your hub. You control everything from here, and it includes shopping carts, blogs, portals, forums, counters, formmail, and password protected pages.
- E-Mail: Unlimited e-mail accounts with web mail access.
- Applications: Install over 75 open source scripts. This includes WordPress (what my website uses), Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Wiki, and many more.
- Support: With HostGator you get 24/7/365 support. Live calling and live chat are always there for you.
- Green Energy: If it's important to you that your company is green, have no worries. HostGator is powered by 130% wind energy from good old Texas.
- Uptime Guarantee: A 99.9% uptime guarantee is basically saying that HostGator will not crash on you. If they ever did for any reason, your site is backed up weekly as well. So your content is pretty safe with them.
- Risk-Free: A 45-day money back guarantee tells you that they're confident in their service. And allows you to try them without any liability.
Being around for over 9 years, HostGator has worked out any bugs you may find with a web hosting company, and turned lately to focus on their customers and providing quality support. I personally was overwhelmed when I found out about all of the features they offer, and was glad that they had 24/7/365 support. Even if you have the smallest question about the company's services, their staff will cater to your every need. Don't take my word for it, check them out yourself! Embracing HostGator could be the easiest choice you make online when it comes to your website.
