Hostgator is a huge privately owned hosting company operating from several state of the art facilities in Dallas, Texas. Hostgator was established in 2002, since then they have actually expanded quickly and currently host over 400,000 websites.

Hostgator provides numerous various webhosting plans, and accommodate a broad variety of customers. From the first time webmaster who needs basic, tension free of cost hosting for their individual site; all the method through to huge corporations, who require specialist dedicated hosting services.

Hostgator's hosting bundles can be divided into three teams; conventional shared hosting plans (appropriate for the huge majority individuals), reseller hosting plans (these are generally for people and businesses that want to "resell" their account resources to clients of their own), and lastly dedicated server strategies (these accounts provide client their own server, so they don't have to share its resources with anybody else). Very few of us will every need a specialized server so this review will focus on the shared hosting plans that Hostgator offer.

Functions

Hostgator's 3 primary shared hosting strategies are called: "Hatchling" (the entry level plan priced at $6.95 / month), "Baby" (this is the most popular plan, and it is most likely to please the requirements of an extremely large range of clients), and "Swamp" (similar as the "Infant" strategy, but with boosts in bandwidth and disk area, priced at $14.95 / month).

For a full list of functions and a side by side contrast of all hosting strategies you need to see Hostgator's internet site right here. Below is a review of the most crucial features of the "Baby" strategy, this is probably the most ideal plan for most users, and it is our favorite plan.

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

Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Also enhanced is the bandwidth allotment, from 75GB to an apparently extreme 1000GB. Again rather much absolutely no opportunity of using all that, but it's nice to understand that you certainly won't be facing extra costs for reviewing your limitation, even if you have an extremely busy internet site(s).

Site Studio website home builder - This is a fantastic free program that permits you to develop your site from scratch. You has more than 500 design templates and color design to choose from. You require no HTML experience, or code writing knowledge. It provides the easiest possible method of making an expert looking site in a very brief area of time. There is no need to take my word for it, as Hostgator offers us with a trial version of the software application on their internet site!

Limitless add-on domains - This truly is the stand out feature of this hosting strategy (the "Hatchling" plan only allows 1 domain), and allows you to host as numerous websites as you like on a single account, at no additional expense. This allows you to make full use of your large bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host several sites at a fraction of the normal cost.

99.9 % Uptime guarantee - This generally tells us that Hostgator is a significant host providing a trustworthy service. If uptime drops below this figure in any offered month then you don't pay for that months hosting, it's as easy as that! We would never consider using a host that did not provide a solid uptime guarantee; this is simply due to the fact that there is only one good reason a host will not provide an uptime assurance - undependable uptime!

30 Day money back assurance - This has actually become a pretty standard feature in the hosting community, though it's nice to have for added comfort.

Immediate setup - A lot of hosting service providers take 24-48 hours to setup your account but Hostgator promises to have you working in under 15 minutes (they do not charge a setup fee either)!

Unlimited MySQL data sources - This is really helpful since each Fantastico (see below) script requires its own MySQL data source.

Fantastico DeLuxe - This excellent program permits you to instantly set up over 50 scripts by means of your control panel. Scripts include blogs, online forums, galleries, buying carts, and more.

Endless email accounts - Allows you to have as numerous, or as few, various email addresses as you like.

cPanel control panel - At the heart of any webhosting experience is the control panel, the good news is Hostgator makes use of one of the very best units around, a cPanel. It's well set out and simple to operate. It includes lots of features and provides excellent performance. Best of all, 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 reality that you are offered two choices to get instantaneous technical support at any time of the day is excellent. Our experience has always been very good when speaking to Hostgator, their operatives are really polite and most significantly they seem to know their stuff when dealing with technical issues.

Performance

The performance from Hostgator's servers is exceptional! Hostgator place much tighter limitations on the variety of sites sharing the exact same server compared to most other shared hosting companies. This offers greater reliability due to the fact that less strain is placed on the servers; and it also greatly improves the rate at which your internet pages run.

Server efficiency is another one of the essential areas where Hostgator differentiate themselves from the crowd of various other internet hosts.

Our judgment

Overall there is so much to like about the means Hostgator does business, they actually do seem to have an excellent grasp on what the typical client requires from a web hosting service provider. Seldom do you come across reports of disappointed Hostgator customers, and after hosting with them ourselves we now know why! At just $9.95 / month for the "Child" plan (which consists of limitless domains); anybody looking to host even more than one website has a quite easy choice to make.
