Hostgator's hosting packages can be split into 3 groups; basic shared hosting strategies (appropriate for the substantial majority individuals), reseller hosting plans (these are mainly for individuals and companies that want to "resell" their account resources to clients of their own), and lastly devoted server strategies (these accounts provide consumer their own server, so they don't need to share its resources with anyone else). Extremely few of us will every require a devoted server so this evaluation will concentrate on the shared hosting plans 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 satisfy the requirements of an extremely broad array of clients), and "Swamp" (similar as the "Baby" plan, however with increases in bandwidth and disk space, priced at $14.95 / month).

For a full list of features and a side by side comparison of all hosting plans you need to see Hostgator's site right here. Below is a review of the most important features of the "Baby" plan, this is most likely the most appropriate bundle for most users, and it is our favorite plan.

Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Likewise enhanced is the bandwidth allocation, from 75GB to a seemingly excessive 1000GB. Once again quite much absolutely no opportunity of making use of all that, but it's good to understand that you absolutely will not be dealing with extra costs for reviewing your limit, even if you have a really hectic internet site(s).

Website Studio website home builder - This is a terrific free of cost program that allows you to build your website from scratch. There is no demand to take my word for it, as Hostgator provides us with a demo version of the software application on their website!

Endless add-on domains - This actually is the stand out function of this hosting plan (the "Hatchling" plan just permits 1 domain), and enables you to host as lots of sites as you such as on a single account, at no additional expense. All your internet sites then share your account resources. This permits you to make complete use of your enormous bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host several websites at a portion of the typical expense. Great!

99.9 % Uptime assurance - This generally tells us that Hostgator is a severe host offering a trusted service. If uptime drops below this figure in any provided month then you don't spend for that months hosting, it's as simple as that! We would never think about making use of a host that did not offer a solid uptime assurance; this is purely since there is only one great reason why a host will not provide an uptime assurance - undependable uptime!

30 Day money back assurance - This has become a pretty standard feature in the internet hosting community, though it's good to have for included peace of mind.

Immediate setup - The majority 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 charge either)!

Unlimited MySQL databases - This is extremely beneficial since each Fantastico (see below) script requires its own MySQL data source.

Hostgator location much tighter restrictions on the variety of sites sharing the exact same server compared with most other shared hosting companies.
