Hostgator Review – Trust Them With Your Site?
Posted on 14. Feb, 2011 by Admin in Web Hosting
Probably one of the web hosting providers that has created so much buzz in the Internet, HostGator has started being an independent company founded by Brent Oxley in his dorm room at Florida Atlantic University. It is based in Houston, TX and has now been in the business for nearly a decade. It has catered a huge number of customers already and received around 30+ awards due to its outstanding and reliable service.
HostGator for years now has proved its promise of good and quality service to its clients, and that’s one of the reasons its customers stay with it for life. Along with one of the best services, the plans that they offer are affordable, and you can also find lots of coupons that give you discount throughout the World Wide Web.
Unlike other hosting providers, they offer three different plans just for their shared hosting. So beginners can actually choose what features they like for their first hosting venture. The plans start at $3.96 per month (if you pay for three years in advance), and this already gives unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Not bad, eh? Now, if you want to go for a shared hosting but use it for business, you can avail of their business plan at $10.36 per month with unlimited features.
For those who want to take their chances on hosting business, HostGator also offers reseller plans at affordable prices. Plus, they also offer VPS and dedicated servers which will of course cost more expensive than the other plans. These plans come in Linux servers, and all have CPanel access for each user, which is the most common and easiest administration panel to use.
HostGator also excels in catering to the needs of their clients. They have got an amazing 24/7 tech support. Whenever you send a ticket, expect a reply ASAP. Brent’s words were like “”Support is most likely the number one thing we do right and it’s what keeps our customers, and brings back a majority of those that leave for another host. You will never call HostGator and get an answering machine!” That pretty much says why. And even if they’ve got loads of new customers coming in, they don’t do outsourcing, so the operators who will answer you will definitely be trained to help you with your concerns. And if you already have a bad experience with another hosting provider, HostGator really does prove its promise to help you move your old site to them. When I say help, it really means helping you step-by-step along the way. How cool is that?!
Apparently, when starting a website, you have to listen to what most people say, and definitely you’ll see lots of testimonials about HostGator being great for them. Indeed it was, for the most of us. But then, it is entirely up to you, but just so you know, HG does offer a 45-day money back guarantee for its first time users. No strings attached, you can definitely try it when you don’t get satisfied. They have an A+ by the BBB as this Hostgator review shows and have tons of happy clients. However, another great hosting service is InMotion; if you are considering hosting you might want to consider reading my InMotion review, as well.
