HostGator has been in the business of web hosting for many years now, and it had in fact made a name amongst the netizens as a reliable web hosing service provider. This is something remarkable as they had said NO to Windows and offers only Linux hosting.
HostGator’s major plus is its different hosting plans that are tailor made – with an assortment of features - to suit the customer’s requirements and purposes. For example, HostGator’s Swamp and Baby packages permit unlimited domains add ons, and it has gone down well with many clients who have more than one website in their names. Also offered by the HostGator are various competitive reseller hosting plans and dedicated servers for those high traffic websites, mainly online business websites or portals.
The pricing of plans is reasonable – even though some competitors like godaddy has a bit cheaper plans – given the performance, robustness, and reliability of HostGator servers, and the customer support its team provides after the website has been hosted. HostGator offers 24/7 customer support through telephone, email, and in certain cases, in person.
Another issue that many clients face after hosting their websites in a server is the ease with which they could manipulate or manage them – making changes to design etc – later. The fact that HostGator had taken this aspect seriously is quite evident from their CPanel 10 control panel that is not only user friendly, but also devoid of complexity and easy to follow even for novices who don’t know much about web hosting or websites.
A detailed demo of how to use the CPanel 10 is given in the HostGator home page.
Finally, HostGator’s supports PHP4 & 5, SSH, Cron jobs, Python, Ruby On Rails, Perl, Image Magick, Curl, MySQL 4+, GD etc, meaning that virtually all types of websites can reliably hosted on its servers. HostGator’s other offers include Instant Backups for selected plans, 99.99% uptime for all plans, 30 day money back guarantee, POP3 Accounts, web mail, spam assassin, free of cost server management and individual control panel for dedicated hosting, and host of OS – such as Red Hat Linux 9.0, CentOS, RHEL3, RHEL4, or FreeBSD – to choose from depending on the client requirements.
Apart from these things, HostGator also offers free tutorials, knowledge base, ticket system, blog, and an online community to discuss their issues, and share their experiences in an open and interactive environment. For more info, see http://hostgator.com.
