Host Gator is one of the top hosts in the web hosting meadow, the over 1.3 million domains hosted by this company represent about 1% of the world’s internet traffic. The company was in fact started by the contemporary CEO in his university dorm room in 2002 and has since grown into a giant in the web hosting meadow with over 5000 servers. HostGator offers a wide variety of services and pricing options, which is fantastic for two reasons: 1) You can tailor the exact plot that suits your needs 2) You have room to grow into a more robust plot as your website grows. To add to their flexibility, Host Gator distinguishes themselves as one of the only hosts that allow customers to pay monthly. (although it will cost you a bit more)

HostGator offers shared hosting, reseller hosting, and dedicated server hosting (Windows and Linux) – each one with copious pricing options depending on your needs.

HostGator Shared Hosting Plans: offers their Shared Hosting customers a number of options depending on their needs and financial statement. The plans are separated into three categories: Hatchling, Baby, and Business. The most well loved of the three being the “Baby” plot which is in the end equivalent to the plans offered by other financial statement hosts. (ie: unlimited domain hosting, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space) The plans range from $4.95/mo* to $12.95/mo* as long as you take a term, on a monthly basis you will pay more and have to pay a small setup fee.

HostGator Reseller Hosting: offers five different products for reseller customers ranging from $24.95/mo* to $99.95/mo*.

HostGator Dedicated Server Hosting: offers four products for their dedicated server customers, ranging in price from $174.00/mo* to $374/mo*.

Customer reviews we found for HostGator indicated a very effective and efficient customer service and technical support team. That is particularly impressive given the fact that they host over 1.3 million domains. Customers reported that they seldom have to wait long for a phone representative and an extremely efficient technical support response to phone calls, chat, and email vex tickets.

*Pricing may vary. Prices valid as of posting date (January 2009). Pricing may be based on a 24 or 36 month term.
