Really few of us will every need a devoted server so this review will focus on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.

Features

Hostgator's three main shared hosting strategies are called: "Hatchling" (the entry level plan priced at $6.95 / month), "Child" (this is the most popular strategy, and it is likely to satisfy the requirements of an extremely wide variety 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 contrast of all hosting strategies you should visit Hostgator's website here. Below is an evaluation of the most vital features of the "Infant" strategy, this is most likely the most suitable package for most individuals, and it is our preferred plan.

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

Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Also increased is the bandwidth allocation, from 75GB to an apparently excessive 1000GB. Once again basically absolutely no chance of using all that, however it's good to understand that you definitely will not be facing extra charges for going over your limit, even if you have an extremely active internet site(s).

Site Studio website contractor - This is a terrific complimentary program that allows you to build your website from scratch. There is no need to take my word for it, as Hostgator provides us with a demo variation of the software on their internet site!

Unrestricted add-on domains - This actually is the stand out attribute of this hosting strategy (the "Hatchling" strategy only enables 1 domain), and enables you to host as numerous sites as you such as on a single account, at no additional expense. This enables you to make full use of your large bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host numerous websites at a fraction of the typical expense.

99.9 % Uptime assurance - This basically tells us that Hostgator is a significant host providing a reputable service. If uptime drops below this figure in any provided month then you do not pay for that months hosting, it's as easy as that! We would never ever consider using a host that did not provide a solid uptime assurance; this is simply since there is only one good reason a host will not provide an uptime assurance - undependable uptime!

30 Day refund guarantee - This has actually become a quite basic attribute in the web hosting area, though it's nice to have actually for added assurance.

Immediate setup - The majority of hosting suppliers take 24-48 hours to setup your account but Hostgator promises to have you up and running in under 15 minutes (they do not charge a setup charge either)!

Unrestricted MySQL data sources - This is extremely helpful due to the fact that each Fantastico (see below) script requires its own MySQL data source.

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

Endless e-mail accounts - Allows you to have as numerous, or as couple of, different email addresses as you like.

cPanel control panel - At the heart of any internet hosting experience is the control board, the good news is Hostgator makes use of among the best systems around, a cPanel. It's well set out and easy to operate. It contains numerous features and offers good efficiency. Most importantly, there is a complete working demo on the Hostgator internet site, so you can test it out yourself!

Customer support and technical support

Our experience has constantly been very excellent when speaking to Hostgator, their operatives are really respectful and most notably they seem to know their things when dealing with technical concerns.

Efficiency

The efficiency from Hostgator's servers is excellent! Hostgator place much tighter limits on the number of websites sharing the exact same server compared to most other shared hosting service providers. This provides greater dependability because less stress is put on the servers; and it likewise significantly improves the speed at which your websites run.

Server performance is another among the vital locations where Hostgator distinguish themselves from the group of various other internet hosts.

Our judgment

Overall there is so much to such as about the means Hostgator does company, they really do appear to have an excellent grasp on exactly what the typical customer requires from an internet hosting supplier. Seldom do you come across reports of dissatisfied Hostgator clients, and after hosting with them ourselves we now understand why! At just $9.95 / month for the "Baby" plan (which consists of unrestricted domains); anyone looking to host more than one website has a rather simple decision to make.
