Web Hosting: Hostgator Review

Every online marketer needs web hosting. Shared hosting will work for most sites. The problem is in finding quality web hosting at an affordable price. Cheap is rarely best.

Cheap web hosting is often lacking in features. Support is seldom up to par. This site, in fact, all of my sites are hosted on one Hostgator account. Hostgator isn’t cheap, but it’s very affordable. Here’s what you get for your money…

I use the Hostgator Baby plan which costs $9.95 monthly. The Baby Plan features include:

Unlimited Disk Space
Unlimited Bandwidth
Unlimited Domains
Unlimited MySQL Databases
Unlimited Email Accounts
PHP 5
99.9% Uptime Guarantee
24 Hour Toll Free Telephone Support

In short, you’ll have everything you need to get your sites up and to keep them up. Look at that last feature again. 24 hour telephone support! No waiting hours for your support ticket to be answered. Help when you need it.

Let’s face it. You will have the occassional problem with your hosting. What matters is how the company handles these problems. This is where Hostgator really stands out.

I started having problems with my hosting not too long ago. My pages were loading very slowly. Then I started getting database and server errors. I called Hostgator and was told the server had problems. I mentioned that this was becoming frequent and asked to have my account moved to another server.

In about 4 hours my account had been moved to another server. My pages are rocket fast now. I’ve had no database or server errors. Everything’s running tip top and I couldn’t be more pleased. AND my site was never down during this process.

Hostgator support leaves the others in the dust. It’s just that simple. Hostgator also has Reseller, VPS and Dedicated hosting. If you want the best hosting experience you’ll ever find, sign up with Hostgator today. You’ll be very glad you did.

Best,
