The slogan is clear and bold, We Eat Up The Competition. Hostgator is a web hosting provider that I've had the pleasure of being a customer for over 3 years now.
Hostgator aims to take the pain out of web hosting for you. All your account functions are available from a central dashboard which is really easy to get used to. What impressed me was that the information which is most important to each relevant section of the account is displayed in the right sidebar, making navigating quicker than usual.
Some of the special reseller hosting plans that Hostgator has are -
- Latest cPanel Control Panel
- Website Statistics: AWStats, Webalizer, Raw Log Manager, Referrer and Error Logs
- Fantastico: Instant Shopping Carts, Blogs, Portals, Forums, Counters, Formmail
- Password Protected Directories and Custom Error Pages
- Web Based File Manager, Hotlink Protection, IP Deny Manager, Redirect URL
Right, now let's have a look inside. You dashboard is where you can do all of your billing and account-related management, clicking through to the main plan management you see a tabbed interface which is very...well 2.0 if you will. Each tab has their own respective sub categories to further manage your hosting plan.
The hosting control panel shows you the amount of bandwidth and disk space you have used and how much you have left, handy information to always know for customers. You can jump to the most important areas straight away from the welcome page, which can save you a lot of time if you have many domains to manage or work as a hosting manager.
My one main gripe that I've always had with my current host is the absolutely retarded way of collecting stats. Instead of showing me unique visitors, they show me the number of server requests each of my visitors has made. Which in effect makes for totally useless stats. Hostgator though does things differently.
Each hosting plan offers you a bunch of features:
- Unlimited Domains, Subdomains, Email Accounts, MySQL Databases, FTP Accounts
- Easy to Use and Flexible Control Panel (cPanel Demo | WHM Demo)
- 99.9% Uptime Guarantee
- No Contract with a 45 Day Money Back Guarantee
- Private Name Servers based on your Domain
- Safe Harbor Certified (Details)
Uploading files via Hostgators file manager is very easy, you simply click on the directory you want to upload to and browse for your file to upload and do it, that's it.
Advanced Features:
- - Unlimited MySQL Databases with phpMyAdmin Access
- - Programming Languages: CGI, Fast CGI, PHP 5, Ruby on Rails, Perl, Python, SSI
- - Programming Modules: Curl, CPAN, GD Library, Image Magick
- - System Management: SSH Access and Cron Job Scheduling
- - FrontPage Extensions
Going into the advanced features, you see a bunch of options, again the ease of use in navigation was just very pleasing. From manging your databases, backups, Perl Modules, FastCGI and Cron Jobs. Setting up an SSL will need you to get a dedicated IP.
Managing your email with all the options available will probably keep not just us boys, but the girls happy too. From setting auto responders, vacation messages, setting filters to block out spam, further spam settings and more. Overall a well rounded offering for a web host.
Award Winning Support:
- - 24/7/365 Premium Support via Phone, Live Chat, and Ticket System
- - Automatic Weekly Off-Site Data Backups
- - 24/7/365 Server Monitoring
- - Online Support Portal with over 500+ Video Tutorials and 680+ Help Articles
- - HostGator Community Forum Access
What are the main goals of your hosting service?
Our two main goals are to greatly improve the usability of hosting account management in order to bring it up to speed with the latest web trends, and to host our customers on top-grade hardware that's reliable and performs well.

What's Your Blog Fetish?
Design that makes sense
looks good, noted as a potential host for a future project
I have a blogger blog (ending in blogspot.com) and I am thinking of hosting it somewhere else but one of the stats that confuses me the most is the bandwidth available monthly. I don’t want my blog to go down in case of sudden spikes in the traffic. What is the bandwith you suggest for a blog with an average 20000 visitors monthly? thanx again for this review…!
I get 20,000+ visitors a month and I pay $3.95 a month. My bandwidth is currently 200GB a month.
Though I am planning on upgrading to a better server soon – if you want success you have to prepare for it
