Hostgator's hosting plans can be split into three teams; basic shared hosting plans (suitable for the large majority people), reseller hosting strategies (these are mainly for individuals and companies that want to "resell" their account resources to clients of their own), and lastly dedicated server plans (these accounts provide client their own server, so they do not have to share its resources with anybody else). Extremely few of us will every require a specialized server so this evaluation will focus on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.
Functions
Hostgator's three major shared hosting plans are called: "Hatchling" (the entry level strategy priced at $6.95 / month), "Baby" (this is the most popular plan, and it is most likely to please the requirements of a really large array of customers), and "Swamp" (similar as the "Infant" strategy, but with increases in bandwidth and disk space, priced at $14.95 / month).
For a complete list of attributes and a side by side contrast of all hosting strategies you must see Hostgator's website below. Below is an evaluation of the most essential attributes of the "Baby" plan, this is probably the most suitable plan for many users, and it is our favored strategy.
Disk area 100GB - This amount has been recently upgraded by Hostgator from 5GB to an enormous 100GB. All users are most likely to find it impossible to tire this amount of disk space.
Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Likewise enhanced is the bandwidth allocation, from 75GB to an apparently excessive 1000GB.

There is no need to take my word for it, as Hostgator offers us with a demo variation of the software on their site!
Unlimited add-on domains - This truly is the stand out feature of this hosting strategy (the "Hatchling" strategy just permits 1 domain), and allows you to host as numerous internet sites as you such as on a single account, at no additional expense. All your sites then share your account resources. This allows you to make complete use of your enormous bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host multiple websites at a portion of the normal cost. Superb!
99.9 % Uptime assurance - This essentially tells us that Hostgator is a major host providing a reputable service.
