Hostgator is a large privately possessed hosting business running from several state of the art facilities in Dallas, Texas. Hostgator was established in 2002, because then they have grown rapidly and currently host over 400,000 sites.

Hostgator offers numerous various webhosting bundles, and deal with a broad array of clients. From the first time web designer who needs easy, tension complimentary hosting for their individual website; all the way with to large corporations, who need specialist committed hosting services.

Hostgator's hosting bundles can be split into three teams; conventional shared hosting strategies (ideal for the substantial bulk individuals), reseller hosting strategies (these are generally for individuals and businesses that wish to "resell" their account resources to consumers of their own), and lastly devoted server strategies (these accounts offer client their own server, so they do not need to share its resources with anybody else). Very few of us will every require a dedicated server so this review will focus on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.

Features

Hostgator's 3 major shared hosting strategies are called: "Hatchling" (the entry level strategy priced at $6.95 / month), "Child" (this is the most popular strategy, and it is likely to please the requirements of a very large range of customers), and "Swamp" (similar as the "Infant" strategy, but with increases in bandwidth and disk area, priced at $14.95 / month).

For a full list of features and a side by side comparison of all hosting plans you must visit Hostgator's website right here. Below is a testimonial of the most essential attributes of the "Child" plan, this is probably the most ideal bundle for most users, and it is our preferred strategy.

Disk area 100GB - This amount has been recently upgraded by Hostgator from 5GB to a massive 100GB. All users are most likely to find it difficult to tire this amount of disk space.

Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Likewise enhanced is the bandwidth allowance, from 75GB to an apparently excessive 1000GB. Again virtually zero opportunity of utilizing all that, but it's good to understand that you absolutely will not be facing additional costs for going over your limit, even if you have a really hectic internet site(s).

Website Studio website home builder - This is a terrific free program that allows you to construct your site from scratch. You have over 500 design templates and color schemes to pick from. You require no HTML experience, or code writing understanding. It provides the most basic possible way of designing a professional looking website in an extremely short space of time. Nonetheless, there is no requirement to take my word for it, as Hostgator provides us with a demo version of the software application on their internet site!

Endless add-on domains - This truly is the stick out feature of this hosting strategy (the "Hatchling" plan only permits 1 domain), and enables you to host as numerous internet sites as you such as on a single account, at no additional cost. All your sites then share your account resources. This allows you to make complete use of your large bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host several websites at a fraction of the normal expense. Superb!

99.9 % Uptime assurance - This generally informs us that Hostgator is a serious host offering a trustworthy service. If uptime drops below this figure in any offered month then you do not pay for that months hosting, it's as simple as that! We would never think about utilizing a host that did not offer a strong uptime assurance; this is purely because there is only one great reason a host will not provide an uptime assurance - undependable uptime!

30 Day refund assurance - This has actually become a quite standard attribute in the webhosting community, though it's nice to have for added assurance.

Instant setup - The majority of hosting carriers take 24-48 hours to setup your account but Hostgator guarantees to have you up and running in under 15 minutes (they do not charge a setup fee either)!

Unrestricted MySQL databases - This is very beneficial due to the fact that each Fantastico (see below) script requires its own MySQL database.

The performance from Hostgator's servers is outstanding! Hostgator location much tighter limitations on the number of websites sharing the same server compared to most other shared hosting service providers. This provides greater dependability due to the fact that less pressure is put on the servers; and it likewise greatly enhances the speed at which your websites run.

Server efficiency is another one of the key areas where Hostgator distinguish themselves from the crowd of other host.
