webhogwarts.altervista.org, http://webhogwarts.altervista.org/groups/addtype-applicationx-httpd-php-hostgator/. Hostgator is a huge privately possessed hosting business running from numerous state of the art facilities in Dallas, Texas. Hostgator was established in 2002, because then they have actually expanded rapidly and presently host over 400,000 internet sites.

Hostgator offers lots of various webhosting bundles, and deal with a broad array of clients. From the first time web designer who needs basic, anxiety free hosting for their individual website; all the means through to large companies, who require specialist devoted hosting services.

Hostgator's hosting bundles can be split into three groups; conventional shared hosting strategies (ideal for the huge majority people), reseller hosting plans (these are mainly for individuals and businesses that wish to "resell" their account resources to consumers of their own), and lastly dedicated server plans (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 specialized server so this evaluation will concentrate on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.

Attributes

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 plan, and it is most likely to please the requirements of an extremely large range of clients), and "Swamp" (much the same as the "Child" strategy, however with boosts in bandwidth and disk space, priced at $14.95 / month).

For a full list of attributes and a side by side comparison of all hosting plans you need to check out Hostgator's website below. Below is a review of the most important attributes of the "Child" plan, this is probably the most ideal package for many users, and it is our favorite strategy.

Disk space 100GB - This amount has actually been recently updated by Hostgator from 5GB to a huge 100GB. All users are likely to discover it difficult to tire this quantity of disk space.

Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Also increased is the bandwidth allotment, from 75GB to a seemingly extreme 1000GB. Again basically no opportunity of making use of all that, but it's good to understand that you certainly won't be facing additional costs for going over your limitation, even if you have a really hectic website(s).

Site Studio website home builder - This is a fantastic free program that allows you to develop your website from scratch. There is no need to take my word for it, as Hostgator offers us with a trial version of the software on their website!

Unlimited add-on domains - This really is the stand out feature of this hosting strategy (the "Hatchling" strategy just allows 1 domain), and enables you to host as numerous internet sites as you like on a single account, at no additional expense. This allows you to make full use of your enormous bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host several sites at a portion of the regular cost.

99.9 % Uptime guarantee - This essentially informs us that Hostgator is a serious host offering a trustworthy service. If uptime drops below this figure in any provided month then you don't pay for that months hosting, it's as simple as that! We would never ever think about utilizing a host that did not provide a solid uptime assurance; this is purely because there is only one great reason why a host will not provide an uptime assurance - unreliable uptime!

30 Day cash back assurance - This has actually become a rather conventional feature in the webhosting area, though it's good to have for included comfort.

Instantaneous setup - Many hosting service providers take 24-48 hours to setup your account however Hostgator guarantees to have you working in under 15 minutes (they do not charge a setup fee either)!

Limitless MySQL data sources - This is very beneficial because each Fantastico (see below) script needs its own MySQL data source.

Fantastico DeLuxe - This outstanding program permits you to immediately set up over 50 scripts by means of your control panel. Scripts include blog sites, forums, galleries, shopping carts, and more.

Endless email accounts - Allows you to have as many, or as couple of, various e-mail addresses as you such as.

It includes lots of functions and provides good efficiency. Finest of all, there is a complete working demo on the Hostgator website, so you can test it out yourself!

Client service and technical support

Hostgator gives us 24/7 phone support, and live online chat. The fact that you are provided 2 options to get instantaneous technical support at any time of the day is excellent. Our experience has actually constantly been very good when calling Hostgator, their operatives are extremely respectful and most importantly they seem to know their things when dealing with technical issues.

Efficiency

The performance from Hostgator's servers is excellent! Hostgator location much tighter restrictions on the number of internet sites sharing the exact same server compared to most other shared hosting suppliers. This offers higher dependability because less stress is put on the servers; and it likewise significantly enhances the speed at which your websites run.

Server performance is another among the crucial areas where Hostgator identify themselves from the crowd of various other web hosts.

Our verdict

Overall there is so much to like about the way Hostgator does company, they really do seem to have a good grasp on exactly what the typical client requires from a web hosting supplier. Rarely do you come across reports of disappointed Hostgator customers, and after hosting with them ourselves we now understand why! At simply $9.95 / month for the "Baby" plan (which includes unrestricted domains); anybody looking to host even more than one website has a quite easy choice to make.
