Host Gator Review
HostGator.com is a BBB accredited webhost that was started by Brent Oxley in 2002 in his dorm room at Florida Atlantic University. Since that time, they have gone from 3 servers to more than 5000 servers. They are hosting over 1,300,000 domains. Their hosted domains constitute approximately 1% of the worlds internet traffic. Their customer base is from over 170 countries. They are a privately held company headquartered in Houston, TX. They have added 150 employees since January of 2007 and expect to add 200 additional staff members in the next 2 years. All of their shared and reseller servers are 130% wind powered via Renewable Energy Credits (registered, verified and retired from the market). HostGator.com offers 3 hosting plans, but for the purposes of this review, we are focusing on their most popular plan which is currently marketed at $7.95 per month.
In addition to the features above, the hosting plan also includes hosting unlimited domains, unlimited addon/parked domains, unlimited email aliases, unlimited FTP accounts, unlimited MySql databases and instant backups. As if all of this was not enough, you also have access to 4500 free web templates, flash templates, 52+ free scripts with instant script install, private SSL, 4 shopping cart options and you can purchase a dedicated ip for $2.00 per month
HostGator.com offers 24/7 customer support via online chat, phone and email. Their support is NOT outsourced. They maintain forums, flash tutorials, an in depth knowledge and a blog.
HostGator.com utilizes The Planet as their exclusive data center and network provider. They house servers in 4 of The Planets Dallas area datacenters, ranging in space from 22,000 to 78,000 square feet. Their network is a Certified Cisco Network with 10 backbone and fiber providers. The data centers are monitored 24/7 by The Planet and by HostGator.
What we have mentioned in this review is simply an overview of the offerings from HostGator. They offer so much more than could be included in this review. Their hosting package is unbelievably loaded and for the price they are charging, it is an outstanding value.
