Subscribe Feed (RSS)Noob love web hosting on hostgator
September 10th, 2008 by admin | Filed under Hosting.I am a noob, and I totally loved hostgator.
I had never used hosting before and thought it would be so complicated. Well, not with hostgator. They have videos on how to setup everything and basically I was running in a couple of hours, and that’s from ZERO knowledge of hosting a site.
Their cPanel is really cool and I never had any problem. The swan package is $15 per month. I got my first month at a discount (for $4) using a coupon found on google.
If you’re a noob, definitely go with hostgator.
I have never used another hosting service before so I can’t tell you it’s better or worse. I can just say I’m 100% satisfied. If you have any questions I’ll be glad to try to answer them.
I currently use hostgator for a couple sites and I’ve also been very happy with them. My biggest praise has to be their prompt response to support requests. I asked for a simple increase of ram in the php.ini for my account and it was done within 30 minutes! I cant say I get the same treatment, even if I call, at places like dreamhost and such. Hostgator also offers ssh access but doesn’t advertise it very well. You have to email them to request it as its not enabled by default but I find it makes managing your site sooooooooooo much easier than through ftp. I wish they weren’t so restricted with the shell though which is why I pay for a colo too….

I just recently purchased a Baby plan with HostGator for a new niche blog that I am setting up. I currently have all my domains and hosting with GoDaddy right now, but I might move over some hosting to HostGator as cPanel is easier to navigate then GoDaddy’s custom setup.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about HostGator so I’m sure that I’ll be happy with them. I’ve had a few problems with GoDaddy last month and I almost moved everything over to HostGator but decided to give them another chance. If GoDaddy messes up again though, I am done with them.
Considering you found HostGator such a great host you can leave a review of them at my web hosting review site if you would like. Help to spread the word and give them some good rep. http://www.webhostsdeals.com/hostgator is the url for them.
GoDaddy may need to boost up their service a little bit as currently they are not really friendly enough.
