HostGator was founded in 2002 and is one of the world’s top 10 largest web hosting companies with more than 2.2 million hosted domains. HostGator provides their customers with around-the-clock superior support. They are the perfect choice whether you are looking for business, personal, or even Fortune 500 hosting.

HostGator offers three different hosting packages, known as “Hatchling,” “Baby,” and “Business.” All of their hosting packages come with all the features needed for a serious website. The “Hatchling” plan costs $4.96 a month. It does not allow hosting for additional domain names (called add-on domains). The “Baby” plan run $7.95 a month and is sufficient for almost all customers. It allows for unlimited add-on domains and parked domains, which is very convenient if you have multiple web sites. The Baby plan also provides private SSL certificates. Finally, their “Business” plan costs $12.95 a month and provides all features not found in the lesser plans, such as a free toll-free number, and dedicated IP addresses.

Each of their web hosting plans comes with a 45 day money back guarantee, 99.9% uptime guarantee, and is fully guaranteed by the owner himself. If you ever have a problem with regular support just ask that your ticket be assigned to Brent and he will personally take the time to give you the VIP attention that you deserve.

HostGator hosting accounts all support PHP4 & PHP5, SSH, Cron jobs, Python, Ruby On Rails etc. HostGator uses cPanel, which is the best control panel utilities around. They also provide the Fantastico script installer, which will install most of the popular open source scripts like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Mambo and more with just a few clicks. And along with unlimited bandwidth and email accounts, their hosting plans include unlimited MySQL databases, needed by many of the above mentioned scripts.

Currently, HostGator only offers Linux hosting, although they are expected to start Windows hosting in the near future. Their “Baby” and “Business” packages allow unlimited domains (called add on domains), which makes a lot of sense if you have multiple websites. They

Recently HostGator went green — probably making them the first major web host provider to do so. They purchase renewable energy credits for as much as 130% of their total power consumption. For this, they were recently named Best Green Hosting by W.H.S.R.
