Hostgator- Which plan?

Come on guys, I know most of you use hosting, please give me an advice

Deleted because I gave the wrong answer. My bad.

One thing from my original post does still count though:-



Personally I wouldn´t use the Gator, but many have good feedback from them.

You need at least a VPS. Don't stick your landing pages or tracking on a shared host. You'll lose more money than you'll make back. You can check out the webhostingforums (google it) for good deals and reviews on host providers. I would probably stay away from HG. I use wiredtree and they've been great the past 4-5 years I've been with them.

The Baby Plan will probably serve your needs if you only want to host one site. I forget the name of the plan (aluminum?), but for $24.95 a month, you can get an account that will allow you to host as many domains as you like. I have about 20 sites, with tons of traffic and the $24.95 plan has been totally dependable

I don't see any reason to have a VPS or an expensive plan. VPS is for those who need root access and it comes with overheads - backup, monitoring etc of some kind. Unless you have a critical site that saves info like credit card or can't even stand an occassional slowness, shared hosting is good enough.

Hatchling is enough if you have only one domain and Baby allows multiple domains under one account. You can always upgrade easily, so start with a hatchling if you want to go with Hostgator.

saphiry,

You need a VPS. If you have the budget, you can't go wrong with Beyond Hosting. It's rock solid and affiliate optimised for Prosper & CPV Lab etc.:

Most people that tell you that you don't need a VPS have no idea what they are talking about, or don't buy traffic to send through traffic.

The first day I was buying traffic, way back around 5 years ago I was on a shared host with tracking. I bought traffic through Facebook. Only a low budget of $20 mind you, but it was my first experience with really paying for traffic.

After checking my stats, only about 10% of the clicks I bought actually hit Prosper. The host crashed and was out the whole time I was buying clicks. Shared hosting has awful performance, its slow to load, its shared with too many other people that could kill the server with a resource hogging script.

On a VPS, you're always guaranteed resources, and trust me, P202 uses those resources. I've had maybe 1-2 hours of downtime a week on my shared host. Over the past 4 years on my Wiredtree VPS's, I've maybe only hit an hour of downtime total. I've never had resource issues and P202 runs flawlessly on it.

Save yourself the headache, ignore these fools that say you don't need a VPS, and get yourself a VPS.

Hello Friends, If you want to start a New blog or looking to buy a new web hosting package then here is a great offer for you from Hostgator.

Grab Your Offer before it expires -> The End of the World Sale

I'm on the middle Hostgator plan (the one that allows more than one domain). I just put my Prosper on a subdomain. It seems to work OK. I'm not doing high volume stuff - I don't think it's even possible to get stacks and stacks of visits from 7Search.

I'm missing why a VPS would be needed.

There are a lot of bad shared hosts out there, but I have a problem with you acting like your experience is the typical one.

HostGator allows an awful large amount of resource use on its "unlimited plans." I've heard a couple accounts of people getting over 1TB a month in bandwidth (not saying that's typical, but it happens).

Another note, both the baby plan and the business plan place no limit on the amount of domains you can have.

No, you do not need a VPS, Hostgator will do you just fine for now.

Thanks for the info, JustinDupre.

I might have to get VPS. Hostgator is what I use myself at the moment.

Ive been with hostgator a very long time and there fine and have good support will be with them until the world ends... lol

And far as which plan I personall use the gold reseller but you can use which ever and upgrade later I started with the baby and moved up as i needed.

I have been used Hostgator over a decade. Its very supportive.

If you have not purchased till now, do it TODAY! They are giving 50% off today. End of world sales.

Do I really need to soend 40$ per month on VPS to have Prosper or ir there any other way I can install it (with the Baby plan e.g.)?

No im using it on a reseller account
