HostGator Web Hosting Profile

Do you need a website hosting provider that offers numerous plans, so you can compare and buy? There are many such website hosting companies and among them HostGator Hosting is probably among the most recommended. There are numerous packages and depending on your need you can opt for either shared, dedicated server or reseller hosting. The economic hosting plan will cost you $4.95 per month, but HostGator’s most popular hosting package is the next highest, costing $7.95, because it includes better features. All hosting accounts are backed by a 45-day money-back guarantee.

Support Services

For 24/7 technical support, customers can use telephone, email or live chat support facilities provided by HostGator. Information and user guides are available via the online knowledgebase,   Flash tutorials, Gator forums, HostGator blog and the ticket-based help desk system.

Web User Interface/Control Panel

Using the popular cPanel with all hosting accounts, HostGator provides customers with ease-of-use, efficiency and speedy site management facilities. The most basic level hosting has a rather limited cPanel (no add-ons), but all other accounts are provided with a full-featured web user interface.

Site builder tools, 99.9% uptime guarantee, 24/7 monitoring and backup services, advance development technology support and one-click installation scripts are available as well.

    HostGator has one of the best dedicated servers products around, I have their standard dedicated server which besides an insane amount of memory 4GB I also I have 13 dedicated IP’s! That is so important especially in my line of work where having more than one IP’s is essential to my company’s success.

    I am client with hostgator for almost two years and never had any problem with them. The uptime is great and response is quite quick. I have WordPress website and they always help me to upgrade my WordPress site to newer version.
