Hostgator shared web hosting Review

Hostgator was founded in 2002 in Boca Raton, Florida, in the USA. As of now, the company is providing web hosting service to more than 1,000,000 domains. Shared hosing, Reseller hosting, fully managed Dedicated servers are among the services offered by them. It is one of the cheap, reliable and trusted web hosting providers of the hosting world. It has now evolved a top-class web hosting provider with its reliable web hosting service.

Hostgator web hosting company offers three packages called Hatchling, Baby and Swamp. Both Windows web hosting and Linux web hosting is available on Hostgator. Their web hosting packages come with a 45-day money back guarantee and 99.9% uptime on all of their web hosting plans. Hostgator accept monthly payments and they also accept PayPal. If you have enough money go and sign up for three years at once and also use discount coupon code which is placed on the main page of their website. With a three year plan (and even a bigger plan, if available) and with the coupon code you can save huge on their web hosting pricing.

Hostgator’s basic shared web hosting plan called Hatchling starts at $8.95 a month if you are going to pay monthly. And if you pay for 3 years right now, you would only be charged $4.95 per month (1 year advance payment @ $6.95 and 2 years advance payment @ $5.95). This plan offers you 350gb of disk space and 3000gb of monthly bandwidth, which are more than enough for an average website. But the disadvantages of this plan is you can only host one website with this plan. You wouldn’t be able to add any addon/parked domains with this plan. This plan is only for those people WHO WANT TO HOST ONLY ONE SITE. Also some of the unavailable features of this plan include Anonymous FTP, Chillsoft ASP, Private SSL etc. You can create as many sub domains as you want. Because you can’t host more than one website, it is not your best bet if you thinking of hosting multiple sites on the same web hosting account.

Another shared web hosting plan from hostgator called Baby, starts at $9.95 a month if you are going to pay monthly. if you pay for 3 years in advance, you would get this plan at $7.95 a month and 2 years advance payment would get this plan at $8.95 a month. This plan comes with 600gb disk space and 6000gb bandwidth. Unlimited addon domains are allowed with this plan, which means you can host unlimited domains on this one account. However, features like Anonymous FTP and Chillsoft ASP are not available with this plan. This plan is a good one for unlimited domains and is affordable too.

Hostgator.com’s another shared web hosting plan is called “Swamp”, in which you will get 1000gb disk space and unlimited bandwidth. If you are going to pay monthly you would be charged $14.95 a month. But if you are going to pay 3 years advance payment you would get this plan at $12.95 a month and at $13.95 a month if you are going to make 2 years advance payment. This plan is a great one for multiple websites and for unlimited bandwidth. I suggest you go for this if you can afford more than 10 bucks a month.

The features offered with hostgator web hosting plans are: Site Builder, 24×7 Support, Instant Backups, No Contract, 99.9% Uptime guarantee, 45 Day Money Back Guarantee, Free / Instant Setup, Addon / Parked Domains UNLIMITED, Sub Domains UNLIMITED, FTP Accounts UNLIMITED, Anonymous FTP, MySQL Databases UNLIMITED, CGI, PHP4 & 5, Ruby On Rails, SSH, Perl, Chilisoft ASP, Python, SSI, Cron, FrontPage, Curl, GD, Image Magick, Streaming Audio/Video, Free Module Installation, POP3 Accounts UNLIMITED, Web Mail, E-mail Alias, Auto Responders, Mailing Lists, Catch Alls, Spam Assassin, Mail Forwarding, IMAP Support, SMTP, Latest cPanel, Fantastico, Soholaunch, Hotlink Protection, IP Deny Manager, Custom Error Pages, Instant Blogs, Instant Portals, Instant PHPnuke, Instant Forums, Instant Guestbook, Instant Counter, Instant FormMail, Redirect URL, Web Based File Manager, PassWord Protected Directories, phpMyAdmin, AWStats, Webalizer, Raw Log Manager, Referrer Logs, Error Logs, Shared SSL, Private SSL, Agora Cart, osCommerce, ZenCart, Cube Cart etc.

All Hostgator web hosting plans come with latest Cpanel, Fantastico, 45 day money back guarantee, 24/7 online technical support, free site builder and free templates and many more. They would also help you in moving your site from your old web host. From what I have experienced so far, their support system is one of the best out there. Click on the banner below and use the coupon code “SPRING” when you sign up with them and get 20% initial order discount besides some huge discount if you choose to pay for 3 years plan in advance.

Another kind of immatures, their immaturity.

This guy is a perfect example of an immature person. He actually praises a person, pointing out a good quality in him in his presence or in a group of people. Obviously, the one who was praised thinks our immature character is a good person and grows some kind of liking on him (he should be a bit of immature for doing so, LOL). But once the victim who was praised by our immature leaves the place or away from the group, our immature character shows his true colors telling the people around him how happy the victim was after the flattering took place. These kind of immatures just live their lives to make good impression on others and to enter the good books of other people.

But I don’t understand what kind of immaturity this is! Do this kind of people try to make fun of others in their absence, while praising them in their presence? The fact is that this type of people soon lose respect once the others know what they truly are. In fact, this type of people make fun of themselves unintentionally, showing what their true colors are while making fun of others in their usual way. Their typical dialogues would be like “I told him his dress was simply superb! You know how happy he felt! Haha, HeHeHe”. In my opinion, this kind of people should be hanged for their immaturity.

  • How to choose a better domain?

    When you are staring a new website, the first step you have to go through is choosing a domain name. Now, What domain name? you may ask yourself! It really depends on the type of your website. If you are starting a new site which doesn’t have a specific niche (like “sports”, “hotels” , “celebrities”), which would give information on just about any random topic, you may go for just about anything, as far as the SEO to your domain is concerned. You may choose your name as your domain or any other name. If it is short, it would be easier for people to remember and type it in the browser. However, if your main source of traffic is Organic (search engine traffic), you need not bother about choosing a short domain. But my advise is choose a shorter and easy to remember one. It would be helpful to you once your website has become a notable one and got a brand name.

    So, what about the instructions if you are going to start a website on a specific niche? If you are going to start a website on a specific niche, make sure you have main keyword in your domain. If the niche is of two or more keywords, try to include them all in your domain name. It might make your domain longer but would definitely put it a bit ahead of other short domains. You can also go for a short one even when the niche is two or more keywords long. Only that you would be at a bit of disadvantage as far as SEO for the domain is concerned, over the keyword-stuffed domains. The other big question is which TLD (Top Level Domain) to choose. You can pretty much go for any TLD (.info, .in, .nu, .net, .org, .com …). But if you are looking for a standard one, go for .com. The TLD .com is the most renowned TLD over the people who use internet. Of course with .com, you won’t get a good domain as almost all of the .com short and keyword-rich domains are already registered.

    Dotcom (.com) is a domain name that can be compared with fancy registration numbers for cars and bikes. People go crazy over fancy numbers (like 1, 11, 111, 9, 99) although they cost a lot and they wouldn’t get any advantage except that they are catchy and are considered as a status symbol. Same is the case with .com, only that these doesn’t cost more than other TLDs. Although they haven’t got a good name with .com and with any other less-popular TLd they would have got a good name, many people would still go for the .com one. .com is in much demand because of the domain name business. With a good .com domain name you can earn thousands of dollars. There have been instances that a few good .com names were sold for millions of dollars. But I suggest you go for any good domain (keyword rich) name with any TLD. It is because no TLD (even .com) is given any importance as far as the placement in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) is considered. Although some people opine .info TLDs are considered to be spam sites by search engines (because of the cheap price offers by many domain registrars, hence a lot of misuse by spammers), there is no evidence that they are at disadvantage in search engine results.

    The final words are go for a short, easy to remember one of any TLD. If you like brand name go for a .com, If you find a good (keyword rich) domain name with any TLD, go for it even if it is longer, because it can help a bit in placing your site better in the SERPs. One thing you should not forget is “Content”. Fill your site with useful information, always get your content written keeping people in your mind, not search engine. But don’t forget to stuff your content with the key words a bit. Now, you are good to go.
