A Look At Affordable Hosting: HostGator Review

By Mike Gates

When I was looking for a new website host, I looked at a lot of them only to that they were either expensive or too good to be true. Many of them also wanted a setup fee which costs five times more than what they charge for a monthly fee. That was until I found HostGator. The experience with HostGator has been amazing, and I love them enough to write a HostGator review.

If it is just for Reseller, Shared, and Dedicated hosting, or for a business, HostGator has the hosting you want. The Shared packages, Hatching, Baby, and Business include unlimited storage, bandwidth, MySQL databases, POP3 (email) accounts, and sub-domains. On their Baby and Business hosting plans, unlimited domains can be hosted for no additional cost.

Each of their packages cater to many customers; for new or veteran webmasters, HostGator offers the essential features to get your website running in minutes. If you would like to set-up a community right away, it can be installed with one click with cPanel.

Along with your community, you can also setup web pages to tell what your group is about with free website templates. With a library of over 4,500 templates, you can have your site running in no time with little or no programming knowledge.

For the experienced web administrators, any software found in Fantastico can also be installed the traditional way directly via File Transfer Protocol. Also for experienced webmasters, PHPmyAdmin also comes with all HostGator hosting packages for easy management of MySQL database using a user interface. For web developers, HostGator packaging features include CGI, PHP 5, Ruby on Rails, Perl, and SSH. HostGator also supports FrontPage for rich website designs.

Businesses may benefit from HostGator's Business hosting. The plan includes a free Toll-Free phone number, Chillsoft ASP for programmers, Private SSL, Anonymous FTP, and Dedicated IP. For smaller businesses who just want to set-up a shopping cart right away will be glad to know that HostGator also has E-Commerce solutions on all hosting plans.

With the addition of popular external, third-party website statistic trackers, HostGator offers built-in stat programs, including raw access logs to see what pages your visitors are checking out, and how much bandwidth is consumed. There are also error logs to find troubled areas of your site from 404 or other errors.

For your domain needs, HostGator offers domain names for an additional fee when you sign up for an hosting account. You can also set up an existing domain if you are moving from another web host that can be assigned per instructions on their support page. Of course, doing it by someone who does not know what he is doing can be a little scary. HostGator's customer service will be glad to help.

After reading this HostGator review, you will understand why HostGator beats the rest when it comes to the best hosting service on the web. With cPanel tools, unlimited space, bandwidth, and just about everything else for a reasonable price, there is no one else better.
