HostGator Review

HostGator provides Shared, Reseller, Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Dedicated Server Hosting Solutions.

Editor's HostGator Review

When it comes down to web hosting services, HostGator has been in the spotlight for a number of years. This is primarily due to the large amount of marketing efforts both the company and its affiliates use. Throughout this HostGator review, we will be taking a look at some of the services and features offered by HostGator, such as their shared, reseller, VPS and dedicated server hosting services. Also we will touch on the fact that HostGator was purchased by Endurance International Group and how that has impacted the company.

Shared Hosting Features

HostGator offers three basic shared hosting plans, starting with the Hatchling Plan. All the shared hosting plans from HostGator include unlimited space and bandwidth, with the primary difference being the number of websites you can host. For those looking to host a single website, you could go along with the Hatchling plan, which only allows support for one domain. If you wish to host an unlimited number of websites, you should look into the Baby Plan, which offers you unmetered resources with unlimited domain support. The last shared hosting plan gives you the same features as a the Baby Plan, but you will also get a free toll free number along with a private SSL and IP address.

Reseller Hosting Features

The most basic reseller plan from HostGator gives you 50GB of space, 500GB of data transfer and support for an unlimited number of domains. There are five reseller plans offered by HostGator, with the last one offering you 160GB space, 1200GB bandwidth and support for an unlimited number of websites. All other server resources such as sub-domains, emails, databases and ftp accounts remain unmetered.

VPS Hosting Features

Depending on what it is that you are looking for, you could choose from a VPS that offers 768MB RAM along with 30GB disk space and 500GB bandwidth. Additionally, you will have the option of choosing between cPanel and Plesk. The lower VPS plans that offer a meagre 10GB space, 250GB bandwidth with a 0.57GHz CPU are only available with Virtuozzo. There are eight different VPS plans available from HostGator, with the last plan offering up to 4GB of RAM, 198GB storage and 2700GB of bandwidth. Again all these plans come with unmetered resources such as email, databases, ftp accounts and more.

Dedicated Server Features

Whether you’re looking into Linux dedicated servers or Windows dedicated servers; HostGator offers both. Linux remains to be one of the most sought out platform for servers, which come with a free cPanel license. The basic dedicated server comes with 2GB RAM, double 250GB HDD, 10TB bandwidth and 5 dedicated IPs. All servers are Intel Xeon Quad Core packed with the most versatile hardware equipment in the industry. For someone looking to start a medium sized site that requires a bit of CPU power, you could go with either the Basic or Standard dedicated server plan from HostGator. Pricing for both Linux and Windows servers remain the same with a promotional offering for the first month of your contract.

Reliability

For over a decade, HostGator has been one of the most recommended web hosting companies on the Internet. Which is why in 2012 Endurance International Group (EIG) purchased HostGator. Since they were taken over by EIG millions of webmasters from small bloggers to large businesses still host with them. However there are a fair share of customers that have been leaving them complaining about a decline in reliability. There have been several major downtimes/outages in 2013 and 2014. Most notably on 08/02/13, 12/31/13, 04/16/14, 05/19/14 and 10/29/14. In the past if you were looking for a reliable web hosting company that could keep your websites online 24/7, then HostGator was an definitive choice. There are mixed opinions on HostGator depending on who you talk to. One thing that is for sure is that they are a different company today then they were before 2012.

Support

Before HostGator was purchased by EIG they had a solid support staff that responded to requests in a timely manner. There have been numerous reports over the past year of long waiting periods for live chat sessions and support tickets taking as long as a week to even receive a reply back. It’s really a shame because HostGator had an excellent support team where your questions would get answered pretty much immediately. It might be that EIG is under staffing their support department these days. Hopefully, sooner than later, they will realize that HostGator and their other hosting brands need more resources in this department.

Value for Money

The shared hosting plans start at only $3.96/month while the reseller plans start at $19.96/month. Pricing for the HostGator VPS and dedicated servers are quite competitive as well. For the most part, the value for money of the HostGator products and services is priced very competitively for what they provide in their hosting plans.

Hostgator has done it again. Still pleased with there service but uptime isn't as good as it once was. Support is outstanding and on every occasion they have been helpful and given the correct solution - although waiting times at least 20 minutes! Overall a great hosting company!

Just switched hosts from a dedicated server to a shared hosting package with hostgator and have to say I'm VERY impressed. Support is always great with online chat and response times for email support is also pretty good. For the price I can't think of any other host that can match. Highly recommended!

Owais's Review of HostGator:
I have used hostgator for a good amount of time that I can write an informative review of the hosting company . However the only thing I regret about the host is that at the time of buying I didn't use a coupon. However I managed to get it cheap. The nice thing about them is they offer great value for money. It offers features for a understandable price that no other host can. The next thing that comes in mind about hostgator is its awesome support. The guys at the support department are great. It was awesome chatting with them and they helped me step by step. Hostgator offers great reliability and uptime. It is very stable hosting and I never had the server slowing or crashing. If you are new to hosts and have never purchased hosting before or have no knowledge about it, then Hostgator will help you. It has a very easy to use cpanel which even a noob can use. That's all I have to say. Hostgator is best for starters. Its affordable, reliable and offers lot of features.

Me and my company "Nisoma Ltd." have been clients on various hosting for our different sites and can say that HostGator is one of our favourite hosting providers due to their high quality and low cost. And yes - as they promise they deliver 99% Up Time Hosting services. Even if something goes down - they are always ready to support you or fix it for you on time. The only bad thing is the time that you have to wait on the phone to get in touch with them - lots of support calls every minute...

Hostgator is just awesome! I've been with Hostgator for more than a year and their hosting service is great. Their customer support is very good. They are always with you if any problem arises. You can chat with the customer agent any time you want because they are always on-line. Also their uptime is almost 100%. I never experienced any downtime after using services from them.

Hostgator has just one minor problem its support ticket reply time, sometimes it takes 24 hours to resolve, the best way for quick reply is to use live chat function.

I am using HostGator for a month and I am really satisfied with the support and services. Most of my doubts and problems have been solved on time. During the first week, I had uptime problems with the server and my site wasn't accessible but as soon as I contacted support about it, they changed my server and resolved the issue. The live chat representatives are highly experienced at their job and they are friendly. I would give it a 4/5.

Sagar Trapasia's Review of HostGator:

HostGator is one of the best hosting service providers with really good customer service and reliability. Although it may not be the cheapest in the industry, but as we know, we get what we pay for. The uptime has been satisfactory compared to its other rivals. Initially, I was disappointed due to 2 or 3 downtimes in a month, but lately, the past several months, there have been very infrequent downtimes. The cpanel is loaded with proper accessories and functionality to maintain your websites. Their customer service is also highly supportive. Never once has my account been compromised nor have I been cheated with billing (hidden charges).

Jason Dale's Review of HostGator:
I'm a new customer of Hostgator and after a week I still have no working account. My paypal payment went missing, and the account was not created. When I contacted them they wanted me to pay for another account first and then they'd refund my paypal purchase, so I said no as I had no guarantees the same problem wouldn't occur. The "Snr Billing Representative" activated my account for me. A couple hours later before I'd had chance to start working on my account it was locked with my identification needed confirming. They wanted a passport scan, or driving license scan and a copy of the credit card I paid with. Well, I paid with Paypal direct from my bank account. This is all very suspect to me and I've lost trust in them. So far it's four days since I sent my last request for my account to be activated as my Paypal account is fully verified so there's no need for them to verify me again. There's no doubt the features offered for the price is excellent, and I've heard many good things about Hostgator from webmaster friends of mine. However, my experience is far from satisfactory. It's one week since I purchased the account and I still cannot log into cPanel or the billing console and there's no reply to my email. NOT A HAPPY BUNNY. Buyer beware is my advice.

I am dealing with sports news, sports video, sports pictures daily. My websites need to be updates daily for my viewers. Dealing with all the scores, news updates really required me to find a very reliable hosting provider that won't give me a hard time. I read a review here saying Hostgator is a reliable hosting, and I wanted to try it. So I asked many question with Hostgator Support, and they assisted me with all the answers I needed. I am so glad I bought their hosting plan, and it has been almost a year now, and i am intending to continue hosting with them for a few more years.

Isaac's Review of HostGator:

Host Gator's webhosting is amazing, low cost, high speed and they have fantastic uptime. They may say '99.99%' uptime but this is more than likely 100%, as at no time have I ever had my site go down. Their customer service is also great with the live chat feature being the highlight, no bots - real people. Host Gator also provides many payment methods, like PayPal which are easy to set up and forget - so they auto pay monthly. Even their small Hatchling plan is fantastic with unlimited bandwidth!!

Darren Thompson's Review of HostGator:
Hostgator is the first host that I have used and I am highly doubtful that I will be using any other. Pricing was highly affordable and the signup was quick. I opted for the Hatchling plan, although now have plans to upgrade to reseller hosting, the ease of use of the administrative control panel being one motivating factor.

Hostgator staff are prompt and helpful. When first attempting to configure the services for my domain I had made an error of some form, and a Wordpress installation was showing as installed via Fantastico but was not accessible. This was resolved within fifteen minutes and my fault explained clearly and concisely.

The billing department seems to be extremely lenient. My memory can be like a sieve sometimes and I often lose track of the date, resulting in hosting payments a day or three late. Not once have I received any contact from Hostgator concerning this.

For a fantastic host with affordable prices and unbeatable service I'd recommend Hostgator to anyone. I cannot comment for there higher end services, yet the shared hosting that I subscribe to is fantastic!

Steven Darcy's Review of HostGator:
I moved to hostgator because my previous host changed there pricing plan and made it no longer affordable for me to stay with them.

I picked hostgator because they had a good name and were a big company.

Right from the start they helped me out. I accessed live chat and they took me through the process and guided me as to what package would suit me most.

Once I had bought the package I submitted my website transfer to them and they took care of the entire website transfer from my old host to my new host free of charge. I left them transfer it overnight and when I woke up it was all transferred for me.

Since the transfer I have never had any trouble with hostgator apart from setting up my email account which they again guided me through the process of how to set it up in live chat.

I have found hostgater the perfect hosting company and at the current time I have no plans to ever change hosting company again.

I have been with hostgator now for over two years and I have never had even a single problem till now. Previous to using hostgator I have used almost all of the popular web hosts, and I find hostgator the best among them. Hostgator's web hosting plans are a true value for the money we pay. Thanks to the hostgator system of load detection and automatic stopping of websites that take too much load in the server I have never had downtime or slow loading site. The only thing I don't like about hostgator is it provides the free adwords voucher only if we are from US or Canada; all other features and services of hostgator are of the best quality.

I have been with hostgator for 1 year now. I have a reseller account and I can safely say that it is a great experience. Unlike any other host, which will usually just suspend your account in case some nasty script got into your webhost, the customer service will just clean and delete the nasty script without you ever needing to tell them. These guys really know what they are doing and I am recommending them to anyone out there.

Sathishkumar's Review of HostGator:
I've been using Hostgator and Bluehost for the past 3 years. I know Hostgator and Bluehost both are the best shared hosts. But Hostgator has a lot of advantages in the following areas: It allows the monthly payment for a flat fee low ($5.00). But Bluehost is much greater load ($30.00) for the cost of installing a monthly contract. If you prefer a monthly contract, Hostgator is a better option. Hostgator offers much better support compared to bluehost as well. Bluehost support is just okay, while Hostgator is willing to go that extra mile for you.

Francis's Review of HostGator:
It's been more than six months that I have hosted several websites on HostGator. I recently hosted my websites on another web hosting provider. The old host was good, but then I encountered a few down times which they fixed quickly. One thing that I like with HostGator is scalability. I started with shared web hosting and I'm soon planning to upgrade to VPS or dedicated. The upgrade option is one thing that made me transfer my hosting to HostGator.

HostGator even made my sites relatively faster compared to my old web host. I host several of my sites on one HostGator account and as of this moment, I haven't encountered any issues. I highly recommend HostGator in many of my how-to build website tutorials.

After trying four other hosting services in the past, I finally settled with Hostgator. The others all had good points but either became much slower when trying to update my sites, had features that were not compatible with other services and not as easy to use, raised their prices substantially, or their tech support became worse and worse. Hostgator has hosted a number of my sites for a few years now and I have never had a problem with any of their services getting worse. I constantly sing the praises of the Hostgator tech staff, especially after they have patiently taken me through any problems I, as a non-technical user, might have. I am more than pleased that I found their hosting service.

Neckar Unrivaled's Review of HostGator:
Today's review is gonna be about Hostgator, web hosting that I have used in the past for my old blog and Majin Planet. So you might want to know some basics about web hosting. The first thing I want to tell you, is there is no such thing as 'unlimited' anything when it comes to hard drive space and bandwidth. This is something that many web hosting now claim to offer. Mostly in terms of shared hosting, I want to stress this I'm speaking about their shared hosting given that is what I was using.

I want to also point out right off the bat that I'm giving Hostgator a good review, I think that for what they offer they do stand far above the others and would recommend them to anyone. As you can tell I have banner's up for their hosting, but that's not to say they don't have their flaws, like anything as you as the customer looking for hosting can decide.

"Hostgator is a privately owned web hosting company founded in 2002. According to Hostgator official claims, they provide hosting service for more than 1,000,000 websites and lead in hosting reseller accounts with over 20,000 resellers."

The biggest feature for any web hosting comes down to quality of their support. My current hosting, Hawkhosting offer really quality support and what's more is I never EVER have any issues. The main reason I ran into any sort of issue with Hostgator was you can guess, Majin Planet and simply keeping the site online due to traffic.

So what's so special about Hostgator?
  • Reliable server with guaranteed 99.9% uptime
  • Host unlimited domain
  • Unlimited MySQL and POP3 email account
  • Room to grow
  • Environment Friendly
You think for the price tags of their servers, there is no way you could really host unlimited like that. Also 99.9% uptime is pretty much just a tag all hosting company have. Because the truth is, if the servers go down, they are down. In any given time frame, within a year's time if you try to count how many times your server went down, counting downtime they do, installing new software, reboots, etc is it really 99% uptime? I'll leave that one for you to decided.

In the end, all of this is just being picky and you want start a blog, you don't want use blogger. Having more control over your content, what you have and the service is far more than anything. That is why I recommend using hosting, even if its cheap hosting. They have a ton of Promotions giveaways and codes, more than any hosting I've seen in my early days with DellHost.

Hostgator is a really good host, they give you what you pay for, if your website is small, growing and your just starting out. If your someone who needs something with more power, your likely not looking for shared hosting. They do offer their own servers at a cost but I can't speak on that. What I will tell the reason I left was due to my website out grew them. You might say they have room to grow, they do but I outgrew shared hosting and I was not willing to pay 200+ a month for a web server when I didn't feel just in doing so.

Tarum's Review of HostGator:
I have 3 sites hosted with HostGator, it's been a little over one year now and it could not be better. Absolutely no down time, even with lots of visitors at the same time there is no lag or server problems.

Prices are quite affordable and with a coupon, you get the package even lower. I have the Baby plan, which is the best option if you plan on hosting more than 1 site, as you can have unlimited domains, bandwidth and files!

Features are great, but I have used just a few (Wordpress install and some SEO guides). Their Live Chat and Ticket support are great.

HostGator is one of the best because they know how to help their customers, and give them the best servers possible.

Jeff Fowler's Review of HostGator:
I have used several different web hosting companies for various projects, from dedicated servers to budget hosting. I use HostGator for all of my personal projects, and have no reason at all to switch at this moment. They have all of the features and programs that the more expensive hosting companies and plans do, but at a much better price. The hosting includes pretty much every program and feature that I'll ever need. It includes various shopping carts, forums, social networks, and a ton of other things. The support has been good, the service has been solid. Overall, I'm a very satisfied customer. If you are looking for budget webhosting, you're sure to get your money's worth at HostGator.

Vlad's Review of HostGator:
HostGator is just amazing, it has anything you would need of a host. First I was undecided if to buy or not because of the spicy price but I managed to buy it on Black Friday for 50% off and I can tell that it's my best spent money on the Internet. The uptime is unbelievable and it beats my ex-host (bluehost). Support is great, although I didn't need their help too much they are very prompt and know how to solve your problems (unlike bluehost). My overall impression is that they have excellent services but they could drop a little the spicy prices.

Sameer's Review of HostGator:
Our site was hosted by another company for a few months when we first launched our website. However, due to reliability issues we moved to Hostgator for shared hosting.
The loading time for the site is a little slow as our readers are in a different continent.
The uptime, reliability and performance on Hostgator has been very good. The best part has been the service. Hostgator service representatives are prompt and very helpful in providing assistance, even if the request might not be directly within their scope of responsibilities.

Overall, pretty happy with Hostgator. I'd recommend this for anyone who is starting small and plans to include multiple sites later.

mark warnar's Review of HostGator:
Over the years With HG, I've had shared hosting, reseller hosting, and VPS level 3. Now I only have a reseller account. Support tickets are always answered in a timely manner. My only issue with the ticket support system is that different techs update the ticket and don't usually seem to read everything from the beginning.
I had to close my VPS account because I realized that I needed more memory than level 3 provides and couldn't afford to move up to the next level. I run lots of WordPress sites, which are resource-intensive, even with WP Super Cache installed. If HG offered "a la carte" upgrades, what a wonderful day that would be!
In closing, one last thought....HG your support is the best I've ever dealt with. If you change your policy and allow VPS owners to upgrade certain resources I'll come back for VPS service in a second!

Sol's Review of HostGator:
Host gator was a popular name when searching for which web host to go with. My experience with them has been both good and bad. On the good side, they offer everything they advertise in their custom cPanel theme. I host my custom CMS and it works just fine. The downside is the customer support and complaints that the pages do not load fast enough. The issues I have faced with them have been minor and they get resolved by themselves even without contacting support but the fact that pages load slowly or cause downtime is a point of concern. I will stay with them for now since everything else seems to be as good as I can ask!

I've used Hostgator for more than one year and I can say that hostgator is the best host I've ever used. This was my first web host so I wanted a host that was good and had an extremely good support department offering 24x7 live chat support and hostgator helped me anytime I wanted. I hardly experienced any downtime with them and therefore no issues with downtime. They have good reliable servers and very good knowledge base to help new users. One thing that goes against them is their price. They have fairly expensive hosting than other web hosts. If you are new to hosting, go for hostgator because of their support, otherwise there are many other hosts offering the same level of services for better prices.

Nitin Sharma's Review of HostGator:
I have several of my websites hosted on Hostgator. I am currently using their Baby Plan for hosting all of my websites. The hosting service provided by Hostgator is great and till now I have not got any problems relating to uptime or reliability. Before using hostgator I was using another hosting provider, which used to flag me constantly for over usage of resources. As I found out later, this was because of the fact that the old provider was using low performance machines as servers. This not the case with hostgator.

Another thing that I wanted to share was that last month I had some problem with my credit card and could not pay for the hosting. So all I had to do was call customer support and they very happily gave me 7 more days (from the time they deactivate your account for nonpayment) to get my issue resolve and pay for the hosting.

Overall, I think hostgator is providing a value for money service and I will continue using it as my hosting provider.

I had a lot of reasons to change from my old host to Hostgator. First of all was that my old host got slow and constantly had downtime. My head was blown away with rage when my site was getting a lot of errors because the host wasn't paying attention to what was happening to the server. I changed to Hostgator and things are getting better every day. I got a coupon code and had ordered a hosting package for very cheap. I love it and the support is clearly better then my old host. My site is now fast and I will stick with this web host as I hope to make my site huge on the Internet and for a huge site you need a good host and that is Hostgator.

Their reliability is legendary, support first class and their rates extremely competitive.
I would have no hesitation in recommending hostgator to a friend, let alone another businessman. In all my dealings with them I have never had cause to complain about their service.

Their up-time is virtually 100% and they are wholly upfront about any problems, or potential problems which may occur because of their servers being worked on.

I was recommended this web host by a friend who told me they have very good support. In fact I have absolutely no technical knowledge and yet I have managed to get a few sites hosted there. The support staff is indeed very good and the live chat staff answers your queries very promptly. When I submitted a ticket, the longest waiting time was a few hours. They will even transfer your sites from one host to another if you give them the login details so its very easy for the customer. Although there are cheaper hosts, this host is worth it because besides having a very easy control panel and excellent support staff, as long as I have been with them, there has never been any downtime that I know of. I would recommend this service to others especially those who like me had no idea where and how to start.

Host Gator really does excel with it's service, I host multiple sites with HostGator and with a slim budget I've never had a better experience. Regarding support, they are probably the best I've used. If your a week off payment (Due to work) they can push your deadline! It's pretty unique and helpful I must say. Going with the value, What more can I say? When you purchase they chuck loads of unnecessary products into the basket, but with a few clicks you can go from $70 to $5.

I started using Hostgator about half a year ago and they are amazing. The prices are also amazing, they are not the cheapest but for the service you receive it works out to be dirt cheap. Their server has never been down and is always fast. Like many other hosting companies they provide unlimited bandwidth usage and storage space but when they say unlimited, it really is unlimited, my site currently has nearly 1 TB of information and that's totally fine with them. Another great thing about HostGator is there live chat support, you don't have to wait ages for them to connect to you and they answer very fast, also if for example you don't know how to create a sub folder or anything else, they can do this for you, they even help you to install third party software to your site! They also provide you with a $100 adwords voucher with any package and many other free software, like forums, shopping carts, wordpress, loads of free templates and much more! Hostgator is by far the best hosting provider that i have ever used.

Monica's Review of HostGator:
If it was possible I would give Hostgator´s support a 10 out of 5. Over the years I have been with various web hosts until having finally found my home on the Internet with Hostgator. I started out with their hatchling plan where you can have a single domain plus both unlimited bandwidth and server space. But within not even a month I expanded to their baby plan which basically offers the same yet allows for unlimited domains. Their hosting comes with cpanel and offers the fast installer Fantastico, free emails, on-site cart scripts and pretty much every modern feature you can possibly think of . Setting up a wordpress site is done in the blink of an eye. Whenever I had an issue, be it technical or financial, and contacted their support I never had to wait longer than 1 minute in line. It is the kind of support that takes things I felt overwhelmed with into their hands and did it for me. Their tech suport is nothing short of supreme. Once or twice we hit an issue the direct customer tech service could not sort out on the spot and they assigned the task to their "behind the scene" wizzes. Within the hour I got contacted and informed that the issue had been looked at and got resolved. Another feature I like about hostgator is the fast loading time of my sites 🙂

I've been using hostgator for quite some time now on their reseller package. At first I was a little apprehensive about joining them because of bad reviews etc from research on hosts but still I wanted to go with a company that was big because the guy I used before burnt out and took all my websites (content, databases & saved email) with him. Since joining hostgator I have never had any serious problems and have always found their customer support prompt and helpful. I've had numerous ups and downs with my websites over the years and hostgator has always cleared up and sorted everything out. I feel the security is pretty high and even when one of my email accounts got hacked and used to spam they shut it down, changed my password and sent me a notification. Not some rude email blaming me for spamming but an email explaining various techniques on how not to let that happen. I would say that they should reward loyalty to members who have been with them for a long time by giving them a free month here and there 🙂

I use the Baby Plan at $10 monthly. It's a nice plan and Hostgator is one of the top sites for hosting. Their 24/7 Online Support Facilities are Great................

andy's Review of HostGator:

After being with many hosts over the last 8 years i have found hostgator  to be far away the best there is for price and customer support. I have had 100% uptime and with the extra features i get with the resellers package its totally worth it.

Akshay Tabhane's Review of HostGator:
At first glance, HostGator is not impressive. They have a generic web-site, a logo with a lame slogan – “we eat up the competition” (the alligator in the logo is eating the “H”) (sorry HostGator), ordinary copy on their text, an apparent lack of updates on their site, a standard ModernBill setup, cPanel, and fundamentally everything an average web host has.
Though nothing they do is spectacular or unbelievable, they do what they ought to do. That is, HostGator actually answers their rings, replies to their emails, responds to live chat requests, doesn’t rip you off, and provides quality hosting.

Nanang Kurnianto's Review of HostGator:
When we joined with hostgator hosting running a business we got the following benefits:
1. Unlimited Hosting
2. 24 / 7 Customer Service - You can ask questions whenever you want and they will be happy to assist you and that's really good service.
3. Very large market share - All webmasters must need hosting right. All online businesses would need to buy hosting as well. Then sell the odd job hosting is having a very..very much consumers.
4. Hostgator is a world-class hosting provider and has been trusted by the 2.5 million consumers in the world. included me of course 🙂 for me Hostgator is the most Powerful Web Hosting Provided ever!

Ritesh's Review of HostGator:
Well I have been using hostgator shared hosting for around a month now. The service is good however there are lots restrictions. I'm on a baby plan which is unlimited bandwidth. However real in real its not. I got a mail from support within a week to upgrade my plan to VPS. However i did not and just tweaked my site a little and it worked. Well one more thing they don't allow heavy resource using scripts also. The Support is great and very fast. Overall its good for startup sites but I wont recommend it for huge sites.

Hasibul Hasan's Review of HostGator:
I initially bought the service 4/5 months back and I had to cancel the service within a week due to change of mind. I thought I need more time to review web hosts. They instantly refund my money as it was within 45 days. After couple of weeks research, I found that they are the best. So I am hosting all my sites with them. Their customer service is superb. I once had a online chat with a customer service rep and they took care of my issue with great care. I highly recommend them.

Richard Lewis's Review of HostGator:
I'm using hostgator baby plan for 8 months now. I'm very pleased with their service. I host 5 html sites on the same account and have had no problem up to now. The only thing bad is the price that is a little above competition, but i always sign up when they offer a discount. 🙂

Siva's Review of HostGator:
I got hold of this host, hostgator via their promotional offer some time back and found it to be exceptionally better than some of the previous web hosts I have tried.  I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with the service they are providing and their downtime also is not as bad.  All in all this is one of the best web hosting service at the moment, at least according to me.

Tarik's Review of HostGator:
My name is Tarik and I've used HostGator as my web hosting for over a few months. I got a plan for pretty cheap and for that price I liked their services, mainly due to their uptime and 24/7 support. I highly recommend this company.

Himanshu Parmar's Review of HostGator:
I am using HostGator for more then 6 Months now after horrible service from Free hosting service providers and I must say it's the best decision for me to move to Paid hosting. HostGator gives me more freedom for my blog and in these 7-8 months I had no problems with them as well as my site always up so it is good for me and my readers. I had some problems with Wordpress installation and their support was excellent during whole problem. I must say that HostGator give importance to their customers and you will get really high quality technical support from them. Price is also excellent for features and service they provide. If you go for long duration and then you will find really great deals.

Sergione's Review of HostGator:

Hello,

My name is Sergione. I use hostgator as my webhosting provider for over 2 years. I have many websites hosted with them on a "baby croc" plan. My opinion about hostgator: they are number 1 in shared hosting. That includes: uptime, features, price, and an important one, 24/7 online support (live chat included).

I recommend this webhosting company.

Thank you.

Nonu S.'s Review of HostGator:
I have been a HostGator customer for the past 2 and half years now. Time seems to fly but may be this is due to the great service they have provided to me till  now. I have never received a downtime ( I repeat..never..at least not when I was awake even while traveling  in different time zones). Their customer support is super-friendly. It feels like you have a care-taker out there whenever your websites need some care. What fascinated me most is the price I pay for their hosting. It is just $9.95 per month. That is nothing in comparison to the service that I receive. I have used three other reputable companies for hosting my sites but none of them have impressed me like hostgator has. I recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Now, a major plus, they have includes VPS and reseller services too. I don't think I am ever going to switch my hosting. 10/10 to hostgator.

Melanie's Review of HostGator:
I use the "Baby" HostGator account for my SEO niche sites. It was an amazing investment and I was glad to finally get off of Blogger and make the move to WordPress. The "Baby" account allows me to host as many websites as I want as long as I don't exceed my bandwidth and space for $10 a month.

HostGator has one-click install services for things such as WordPress and Drupal. This made the switch very easy and pretty stressfree.

I have experienced no downtime as of yet. The server speed is wonderful.
