Is Hostgator Good?

woolabee · 10-20-2009, 08:56 AM

I think what makes HostGator worth it,
is simply that there support is fast and
responsive to your questions and problems.

And that can make all the difference in the
world with hosting.

Amelia O · 10-20-2009, 04:08 PM

I've been using Hostgator for quite some time. Very happy with them.

Support team's top notch!

l23bc · 10-20-2009, 04:15 PM

prefer bluhost more but there no differences
just dont like the hostgator monthly plan thats all prefer to pay for whole year and save money

NollTech · 10-20-2009, 05:42 PM

I use HostGator and had a problem with pages not loading on my website. I made a service ticket and within a few minutes I was contacted by customer support and they had fixed the problem.

revenue27 · 10-20-2009, 09:27 PM

Their support team are great and fast. They are one of the best hosting Company in the world

jrmnlitt · 10-20-2009, 10:32 PM

Hostgator get my vote because thier customer services is excellent, and can be reached 24/7.

Gama Seva · 10-20-2009, 10:54 PM

I don't want hostgator to host my sites anymore! Why? All my sites are hosted with them, enough is enough

I need a different hosting company this time with different IPs for SEO purposes.

They're very good actually.

Alexissalaam · 10-21-2009, 08:04 PM

I've been using hostgator for a year
I love it it's been a few guys trying
to get me to switch but why, if it's
not broken why fix it, I'm not a big
believer in change.

You know when things are going good
why rock the boat, HG is it.

Listen as marketers it's our business to
implement new things and systems so
at some point I'm sure most of us are
going to try some sort of other hosting
especially for multiple sites and blogs
[hopefully to have hundreds one day]
but you cant go wrong with HostGator.

Hostgator is incredible. They're online tech support chat is incredible. Godaddy is garbage and completely over hyped.

homeworkin · 10-21-2009, 09:01 PM

I love Hostgator. Been using them about 6 months now and have been very happy with their CS and features.

HATED 1and1.com (threw my site offline for 2 weeks due to a simple domain registrar transfer of a site that was already hosted on their server, awful customer service, refused to do anything to help me, said it was not their fault and that this is typical - come on, I did my first domain transfer back in 1997 or something, I have NEVER had two weeks of downtime - then had the gall to refuse to transfer the domain back to GoDaddy for several more weeks - despite me quoting ICANN rules to them ad nauseum).

Also had BAD customer service from ThirdSphere. They have some great features, but are overpriced. When one of my main money sites (at that time) went down because of a virus on THEIR server, the customer support wench told me in an email "Unless YOU know exactly which file on your site is corrupted, you'll have to wait until we fix everyone else's site and come back to yours." How was I supposed to know which file was corrupted? I could not access the server at all. And, if there were many sites affected by a virus, it was not my responsibility but that of their security. I was also somewhat miffed that they did not inform me when my site went down, since they were aware of the problem long before I was.

Johneng · 10-22-2009, 09:40 AM

yes Hostgator is good

i am satisfied with it

Greg guitar · 10-28-2009, 03:07 AM

I love their customer support. They are incredibly responsive 24/7. I will have to spend a lot more than I have for them to break even, as their people have spent hours walking me through tech issues mostly because I'm a greenhorn. They never have a problem spending whatever time is needed to help me.

pinoytutorial · 10-28-2009, 06:04 AM

So the majority of warrior members think that Hostgator is good. I first applied to Godaddy's economic hosting and as my site grew went to upgrade to their deluxe package. I experienced several "server is not responding" or similar errors for several days.
I'm already contemplating on switching to Hostgator but lo and behold, Godaddy suddenly changed my server IP for improvements. Well, so far so good. But need to monitor if it will be consistent in the following weeks.
Hostgator will definitely next in line should this Godaddy "improvements" fails.

strobe · 10-28-2009, 06:30 AM

Have been using hostgator for some time - they do the job.

However, a few things to look out for.

1. If you signed up with them over a year ago, some of the packages have now become cheaper. This may entitle you to a free upgrade to the next package up or cheaper prices in the future. However, its up to you to sort it out by contacting support.

2. I'm not sure about you guys but logging in to your control panel is no longer by a secure server. domainname/cpanel. So it may be a case of purchasing a ssl certificate. If you are position it in the root so all have ssl access.

E-supreme · 10-28-2009, 08:51 AM

Hostgator are excellent, and exceptionally good for wordpress. Havn't tried many others but have an unlimited account with them so can't but recommend them!

Apolo · 10-28-2009, 11:24 AM

EDIT I don't like GODADDY

HOSTGATOR has great customer service, when you can't figure out why your website wont load, they can help, specially if you are newbie. you can get something cheaper, and you might get a cheaper customer service level. Pay some get some

cheat625 · 10-28-2009, 11:25 AM

I have used godaddy, yahoo and hostgator. I am extremely happy with hostgator. I have multiple domains on one hosting plan and no problems.

Moe777 · 10-28-2009, 12:39 PM

I use webhostingpad but there are a ton of sites that review and compare hosting sites.

worcaz · 10-29-2009, 03:23 AM

same like you cadoutsource, buy domain from namecheap and hosting from hostgator

namecheap - provide free whois
hostgator - provide unlimited domain with single hosting

Cecille20 · 10-29-2009, 05:03 AM

Yeah its good I'm also using it and I never find any problems with it.

teramera · 10-29-2009, 08:20 AM

I have used hostgator earlier and now am with compitenthosting and what may come as a surprise compitenthosting is miles ahead both in terms of price, as well as after sales support. Whats more they even go out of the way and do small webmaster related stuff for me whenever i need it without any charge. If you would like to order with compitenthosting i can give send you my affiliate link if you PM me.

holla22 · 10-29-2009, 09:55 AM

I Love HostGator

I use to be with Godaddy, but they are scammers!!! Moved to hostgator and wow the support and the control over everything is so much better.

I fully recommend the business package that they offer.

weegie · 10-29-2009, 11:13 AM

In most cases you only really find out how good or bad a company is when you have a problem.

SJG · 10-29-2009, 10:54 PM

I have been using Hostgator for about a year now. I started with the "baby gator" pkg. for about $7.95 per month but had to go to a reseller acct. ($24.95)so I could host multiple domains / sites. Have had very good customer service as well as good tutorials showing you how to use. I haven't tried any other host companies so I can't compare to other hosts but I do have 2 other sites with Site Build It which is $299 per year but you get a whole lot more than just simple hosting.

RevShareNow · 10-30-2009, 12:17 PM

I use hostgator for one of my sites. No complaints so far :-)

fong47 · 10-30-2009, 01:51 PM

I use Hostgator and so far, they are pretty good and the support is awesome.

Danton Morgan · 11-02-2009, 02:12 PM

I've seen two recommendations in this thread for JustHost. I need to point out my own experience with them. I got an "unlimited" account with them for around $60/year and moved all my domains to the account. Then I started to notice that Wordpress admin pages would intermittently not respond as I was editing posts and updating config settings. It got to the point that I just couldn't update my sites at all for several days. On top of that, I have an external monitoring service checking one of the domains that I moved to JustHost. Here's the report from that service:

Below is your monthly uptime report for October 2009

Outages: 22

Downtime: 29 hrs, 30 mins

Uptime: 96.55%

I contacted JustHost support about this and asked them to check the server that my account is hosted on. They told me that they "...do not support external monitoring services..." and that if I wasn't happy with their shared hosting service that I should upgrade to dedicated. They closed the ticket with no further response.

I noticed that in the JustHost Cpanel, they've disabled the "Server Status" link. This is the link to a page that will tell you whether any of the services you rely on are having problems (HTTP, FTP, email, etc.), how much disk space is being used on the host machine (ie, is the machine running out of disk space?) and what the server load on the host machine is. At HostGator, this option has always been available and still is today.

After this experiment in ultra-cheap hosting, I'm going back to HostGator. I may be paying a little more, but I can count on 99.99% uptime and that helps me sleep a little better at night.

- Danton

amits43 · 11-03-2009, 07:19 AM

Hostgator is the best , i am using it for 2 years now .They have great customer support service and the server never went to down .I am much satisfied customer .

fitzwar · 11-03-2009, 12:00 PM

I use Hostgator and their support is the best support i've had from any company, they reply to support tickets within an hour, sometimes within 10mins i've experienced and they will always try their best to help.

jrmnlitt · 11-04-2009, 09:39 AM

I have tried different host and hostgator had the best customer service to me. They took the time to go in detail through every step until I understood how to do the task.

Nick H · 11-04-2009, 11:08 AM

Asking "Is Hostgator Good" is like asking "Does the Sun Shine?" Or even "Is the Rain Wet?"

Cheers,
Nick

euhlir · 11-04-2009, 01:56 PM

Hostmonster is the best. period.

eBizSuccessCoach · 11-04-2009, 04:19 PM

I have not personally used HostGator but have friends who have and they love those guys. So based off the testimonials of my close friends I would say... Go with HostGator!

steveblum · 11-04-2009, 06:48 PM

Purchased HostGator for my Wordpress blog...now that I'm not using it anymore we'll see.

The only problem (if you want to call it that) is that there are a ton of options available on the cpanel that most people won't ever use. It can also be tricky to figure out which options you need to get the most for your money.

Mann · 11-04-2009, 07:07 PM

Many of the "big names" in IM use Hostgator. This alone doesn't mean a thing, but one thing I've found is that many "add on" products and services are "designed" with Hostgator in mind. For instance, ViralInviter's documentation is specifically geared towards installing it on Hostgator (though it can be used with any hosting co.). So, if you're looking for a "standard" – and I would argue it's the "gold standard" - then look no further!

I've used about half a dozen hosts over the years, and I think Hostgator is among the very best ever. Further, their customer support – even if you've got a question at 3:45 A.M. Sunday morning – is always ready, capable and even cheerful.

They've even helped me (at great length on several occasions) work out problems that were only peripherally related to them! Many companies (perhaps most) would simply not do that.

Hostgator rocks! That's my experience, anyway.

DannyLucas · 11-05-2009, 05:32 AM

I use Hostgator and am impressed by their customer service.

Michael Thai · 11-05-2009, 05:41 AM

I am using Hostgator and super affiliate Mark Ling recommends it as well in his product Affiloblueprint.

dremora · 11-05-2009, 11:20 PM

Hostgator problem: They advertise $4.95/mo but when I run the order wizard and try to order their minimum package (I already have a domain) it brings up $9.95 monthly fee. Where is that $4.95 hosting? Did they end the campain and forgot to update, or is it just false advertising (adding a bunch of hidden fees/taxes etc) It really doesn't matter for me but displaying somehting nearly twice of what they advertise raises suspicions.

arttse · 11-05-2009, 11:31 PM

With Hostgator I seem to get indexed on Google as soon as I register a domain, particularly once I enter my nameserver details. I usually get indexed even before I get a chance to put up a website. Fugure that one out!!!

NinjaTech · 11-05-2009, 11:35 PM

Hostgator is awsome. Very good 24/7 support.

dremora · 11-05-2009, 11:44 PM

Ok I asked them and they clarified the issue. Apparently you get that $4.95/mo rate with a 3 year subscription... Even then 8.95 is not bad for starter package.

magiclady420 · 11-06-2009, 12:39 AM

I have hosted with GoDaddy and HostGator. GoDaddy has great cheap hosting if you need Windows based hosting, but most AM's won't need that. I love HostGator - their support is fantastic and they have a great deal. I have their Business Level account which costs me $14.95/month, and I can host unlimited sites. I currently have almost 40 domains hosted by them that I am building sites around. Highly recommended!

gange10 · 11-06-2009, 12:59 AM

Hostgator is awesome there support is send to none.....

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID Fast hosts they are a UK based hosting company and are aweful there support is shocking sometimes days to come back to me!!!

Emma Lindsay · 11-06-2009, 04:46 AM

Have to agree Fast hosts are awful!!

Hostgator are brill, there ticket system and live support is brilliant any problems you have they seem to sort out!!

Kieran Gill · 11-06-2009, 07:05 AM

HostGator are alright, but they oversell their servers quite a bit. Most internet marketers promote them because of the high-paying affiliate program. If you want real quality, go with RackSpace. If you can't afford RackSpace but still want the quality, ThisWebHost are excellent. I have accounts with all three and RackSpace are best, though I do tend to recommend ThisWebHost or HostGator as that's what most people can afford.

dbarnum · 11-06-2009, 07:10 AM

Two thumbs up for Hostgator and GoDaddy

We've used both for years. Excellent customer service at both places.

feixia913 · 11-06-2009, 07:23 AM

I thumb up for site5

Tom Harvey · 11-06-2009, 07:34 AM

I totally agree. I use GoDaddy for my domains and just transitioned over to Hostgator for my hosting.. Couldn't or didn't want to continue having all the eggs in the GoDaddy basket.. Just me, but so far Hostgator is excellent.

Tom Harvey · 11-06-2009, 07:38 AM

They seem to be the choice of the super gurus that I know.. My experience has been that they have been flawless..

jaiganeshv.com · 11-08-2009, 01:30 PM

Though there are mixed reviews about them. They are the leading players.

Thank you.

I've seen two recommendations in this thread for JustHost. I need to point out my own experience with them. I got an "unlimited" account with them for around $60/year and moved all my domains to the account. Then I started to notice that Wordpress admin pages would intermittently not respond as I was editing posts and updating config settings. It got to the point that I just couldn't update my sites at all for several days. On top of that, I have an external monitoring service checking one of the domains that I moved to JustHost. Here's the report from that service: Below is your monthly uptime report for October 2009 Outages: 22 Downtime: 29 hrs, 30 mins Uptime: 96.55% I contacted JustHost support about this and asked them to check the server that my account is hosted on. They told me that they "...do not support external monitoring services..." and that if I wasn't happy with their shared hosting service that I should upgrade to dedicated. They closed the ticket with no further response. I noticed that in the JustHost Cpanel, they've disabled the "Server Status" link. This is the link to a page that will tell you whether any of the services you rely on are having problems (HTTP, FTP, email, etc.), how much disk space is being used on the host machine (ie, is the machine running out of disk space?) and what the server load on the host machine is. At HostGator, this option has always been available and still is today. After this experiment in ultra-cheap hosting, I'm going back to HostGator. I may be paying a little more, but I can count on 99.99% uptime and that helps me sleep a little better at night. - Danton

Purchased HostGator for my Wordpress blog...now that I'm not using it anymore we'll see. The only problem (if you want to call it that) is that there are a ton of options available on the cpanel that most people won't ever use. It can also be tricky to figure out which options you need to get the most for your money.

Many of the "big names" in IM use Hostgator. This alone doesn't mean a thing, but one thing I've found is that many "add on" products and services are "designed" with Hostgator in mind. For instance, ViralInviter's documentation is specifically geared towards installing it on Hostgator (though it can be used with any hosting co.). So, if you're looking for a "standard" – and I would argue it's the "gold standard" - then look no further! I've used about half a dozen hosts over the years, and I think Hostgator is among the very best ever. Further, their customer support – even if you've got a question at 3:45 A.M. Sunday morning – is always ready, capable and even cheerful. They've even helped me (at great length on several occasions) work out problems that were only peripherally related to them! Many companies (perhaps most) would simply not do that. Hostgator rocks! That's my experience, anyway.
