HostGator Review
Host gator attracts lots of buz with the internet marketers.
Starting from 2002 with 3 servers to now in 2013 with 7000 servers, host gator is serving today more than 8 million domains in their shared, reseller, VPS and dedicated servers for 400,000 customers in over 200 countries.
Yet this doesn’t prove that it will be best hosting company for you, but if it has grown so large and rapidly in 10 years then it is implied that it has been successful in serving its customers with high standards and that gives you a genuine reason to you to check out Host gator by yourself.
Best Thing About HostGator
Host gator really stands out due to its excellent customer support service which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Its vast knowledgebase provides answers to all possible issues for its clients by videos and tutorials.
You can contact support staff over the phone, through email, or through their live chat option any time and they promptly resolve any issue you request.
It’s face book and twitter accounts are also very active.
For a newbie it is the best choice to prevent them from frustration as lots of issues need support all the time when you are setting up and running your first sites on the internet.
How Easy Host Gator Is To Use?
They use the standard c Panel with large icons to click to. It takes no time to master how to manage files, mail, websites and stats in a user friendly manner.
Building a Website With HostGator Tools
You can chose either Site Studio or Site Builder to create your website easily with 4500 templates already built with tables and forms.
Things I don’t like about Hostgator:
HostGator has still the best customer support service being active 24/7.
However the wait time on chat and the ticket is longer now than what it used to be. Although they also have local and toll-free numbers to call.
Another thing I never understood about is their entry level package which offers one domain when you buy a hosting account.
HostGator is still using QuickInstall option which is ok with WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal but many friends of mine like Softaculous better
What HostGator Can Offer You?
They’re famous for their well-priced shared hosting plans. Hostgator provide three services as regards to shared hosting which are

It’s $3.90 a month for the “Hatchling Plan”, $6.36 a month for the “Baby Plan” and $9.95 a month for the “Business Plan”.
They also provide dedicated servers, VPS hosting, reseller plans. With their 45 day money back guarantee, you can sign up for any affordable plan with HostGator.
They also offer website transfers from other hosts. And they do this for free!
Do I Recommend HostGator?
Hostgator is the best choice for the small to medium-sized business owners and blogging websites. I’ve never personally experienced any downtime and their customer support is the best in the industry. I love Fantastico for installing wordpress in seconds.
HostGator has been awarded the Best Small Business Hosting Provider of 2011 and best WordPress and Joomla host 2012.
I strongly recommend HostGator especially for those who have never used a hosting company before. The entire process is fast and easy with unbelievable customer support, even with basic accounts you can access to most of the best features.
For guys who’ve already wasted time and energy with current for bad hosting move today with HostGator. They offer free sites transfer. HostGator has already won Website-Hosting-Reviews.net award for Best Website Transfer Service.
