HostGator review or why do I choose HostGator
In this post I’d like to present my own opinion of why HostGator is a great and reliable hosting company.
Just a few words about my business. I started with a small website with 20 unique visitors a day and naturally hosted my website using local $2/month provider. In time site has grown up and my first provider became too small to host the website. Then I tried many hosting companies, but there always were problems with support or uptime or whatever else. Finally, after turning over dozens of webmaster forums I decided to try HostGator. And it was a hit! At the moment I am using HostGator to host more that 20 websites and I am fully satisfied with it. So what is so great about HostGator?
7 arguments in support of HostGator
- Ask for a reliable shared hosting on any webmaster forum and about half of answers would advise to choose HostGator.
- HostGator has 24/7 support and they mean it. Your business has no holidays, so must your hosting company.
- Every hosting company pretends to have 99.9% uptime. HostGator actually has.
- Major webhosting companies offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth. It’s never a 100% truth, but in case of HostGator it is enough to host a website with 10000+ unique visitors a day.
- HostGator also provides SEO hosting as well as VPS and dedicated solutions, so there is always a room to grow.
- HostGator carefully looks after what sites it hosts. You are never going to have unlawful or harmful websites as your shared IP neighbours.
- Using coupon code you can always try HostGator for free during the first month. So there is nothing you can lose by trying HostGator.
Arguments against HostGator
I was trying to recall something I don’t like about HostGator to add some contra arguments, but actually didn’t remember anything. Probably it is the first webhosting company I never have any problems with and it’s a reason why I stay with HostGator.
How to try it for free
I promised to reveal a secret of how to use HostGator for free during the first month. During the sign up you’ll be asked to enter a coupon code. Use following HostGator coupon codes:
- “hgc25”: $9.94 off any new hosting purchase. Use this for any initial order totaling $49.70 or less.
- “snowman”: 20% off initial order. Use it for orders totaling in more than $49.70.
