HostGator - Company Profile

Hostgator has become one of the most well-known web hosts by doing something far too unusual in the business: delivering top-rate products, keeping their promises and answering their support calls. And of course, by having a great logo. Hostgator claims to "eat up the competition," and with the quality of the services they're providing, we're quite sure they can. Hostgator offers a wide selection of plans, from basic website hosting with 50 GB of disk space at $6.95 a month, to a dedicated server with a 1500 GB of bandwidth and 4096 MB of RAM memory.

For private and small-business users, Hostgator offers web hosting through three different plans with names that fit the company logo: Hatchling, Baby and Swamp. These plans range from 50 to 200 GB of disk space and 200 to 2000 GB of bandwidth, and for customers with higher demands, there are four packages each for reseller hosting and dedicated servers.

Hostgator provides support through email, fax, phone and live chat 24/7, a service which we found to be very reliable. They also guarantee a 99.9% uptime, granting customers a full month's refund if they fail to keep deliver. Hostgator doesn't bind its customers to long-term contracts, which is a positive; the agreement can be cancelled at anytime. If you should want to leave within the first 30 days, you will receive a full refund with their money-back guarantee.

Their web hosting services, which support most scripts, give the customer a wide spectrum of tools for email, control panel, statistics and e-commerce. With the reseller hosting and dedicated servers, you can create an unlimited number of domains and accounts, which is also very good.

Hostgator was founded in 2002 and has since seen fast growth in the market. The Houston-based company is currently the world's largest provider of reseller accounts.
