Reputation

HostGator has a great reputation for server uptime (99.9%), support, and attention to their clients. There are not many companies where the direct owner will take time out to contact their clients, but that’s exactly what Brent Oxley, the president, does with his clients. It’s this personal service and care that resonates well with over 90,000+ satisfied clients.


Pricing

HostGator has a no contract, and a month-to-month billing cycle on all of their plans. If by any chance you decide to cancel within 45 days, they will refund you 100% which says a lot about the confidence in their hosting.

Controls

A customized cPanel, control panel, is standard with every hosting account. HostGator resellers get full access to Web Host Manager (WHM) with cPanel. For site design, they provide not one but two different website creation software programs – SiteBuilder & SiteStudio. Every hosting plan comes with full access to over 4,500 professional pre-made and customizable site design templates making this deal even sweeter. Throw in access to tons of scripts from forums, e-commerce sites, and blogs like Wordpress to be automatically installed with just a click and you’ve got a great combination.

Support

When deciding on a web host, the last thing you will think about is something going awry. But what if something goes terribly wrong at 3 AM? It’s nice to know you can get a hold of HostGator any time. Many hosts claim 24/7 support but HostGator puts their money where their mouth is, especially in the support category. Their office in Houston, TX (USA) is staffed around the clock with agents available through their Live Chat help, e-mail ticket system, and toll-free phone support.
