Is Hostgator Good?

11 years ago

I like to use Justhost.com

They're like 4 dollars a month right now AND if you look around you can get even more discount ;]. If you try 2 close out of their page they give you a 20% discount. You make all the money for a year worth of hosting with a single sale.

They also offer unlimited hosting 4 all your domains. check them out :]

Thanks

I'd recommend HostGator too!

Whilst they're definitely not the cheapest in the industry, it's the security and support that we're paying for. Unlike other hosts who advertise 24/7 support, HostGator is one of the few that actually has 24/7 support... they have technicians, sales and support staff working every hour of the day.

  HostGator has worked well for me.
  
  They do seem to be having some growing pains or something going on right now and that's causing occasional problems. I don't think these are critical ones, just that they're probably struggling by on a reduced staff like a lot of companies are doing these days.

Danton Morgan 11 years ago

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.

I myself can't stand HostGator... Just the thought of going back to them makes me sick to my stomach. I had nothing but BS and trouble from their services, tech team and everything in between. I had transferred from 1and1 because I heard HG was the best. I did so and got nothing but headaches. I first got their baby account for a month or two which I was cool with except they messed up my xfer from 1and1, had to redo that again then when it came to setting up their reseller account that was a pain also. From cpanel malfunctions to disk space becoming full bc the email client wasnt deleting messages as they were pulled off. Finally I could not stand it any more and canceled after signing up with bluehost. So far no problems not to mention that adding domains onto the account is a breeze!! So in short, IMHO Don't Go with HG.

Hostgator is awesome. Whether it's shared hosting, a dedicated server, or seohosting.com (I use them all), excellent and quick service and support.

I have a script product that is installed and thus get to see many web hosts. There so many terrible hosting companies out there it is incredible.

As with any large company with hundreds of thousands of customers, things are bound to happen and not everyone will be happy. A couple posts here about that. But as with the vast, vast majority of reviews here and elsewhere, Hostgator is highly recommended. It is the only web host I currently recommend.

I have had great success with them, I have the baby plan. It allows me to host all my domains at the same place which make it handy when checking out stats on the control panel. The control panel is impressive and you add domains easily as well as perhaps set up a word press blog in minutes. I have had to call customer support once and they were amazing and answered my questions immediately and I got my issue resolved. So far, knock on wood, their servers have not crashed and I have not lost access. Anyway, I get my domains from Godaddy, but I host with hostgator. No issues. If you do get an account there go with the baby plan, especially if you want to host multiple domains.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

my opinion about hostgator is:
there are too many affililiate using hostgator ,site building, blogging,file sharing...hostgator 's server IP already marked by google, i mean google know what 's from hostgator...if so many affiliate post their contents in hostgator, duplicated contents must be a serious issue, that means google will punish duplicated contents which are from same server and de-indexed or lower ranking...so better find another server at same time . i make an example:
squidoo and google knol and hubpages ,they are using totally different server ,though hubpage scan the duplicated contents ,but you actually can publish total same contents in different place as long as these contents are not hosted(of course ,squidoo ,google knol using different server) in same place...otherwise,you will get trouble...

anyway, find another host for good!

This does not make sense. A company that is growing simply buys more servers and bandwidth as needed. If they had a sudden burst of growth they could not supply servers and bandwidth for -- they could easily outsource the burden temporarily while they ramped up their own farm.

HostGator got a fast and reliable support team. Their servers and software are always up to date. Their uptime is good and the speed of my websites hosted on them too.

The only thing you should consider is if you want to host your own email marketing software. I got my own autoresponder and CRM software running on Hostgator. But on shared accounts they impose a limit of 500 emails sent per hour.

When you have a list of 9000 or more, or wish to send more than 500 emails per hour (very handy when doing broadcasts) you have to get a dedicated hosting solution.

It's worth the money, but not everyone can afford it: dedicated servers starting at $174/month. Or go for an average-speed 'virtual private server' at $69.95 a month.

In that case you might want to consider using a service like Aweber... but I like to use my own systems.

My experience with hostgator support has been exceptional.

Had an issue two months ago when paypal blocked my account in one of their so called "random checks" and couldn't complete my subscription payments.

I was on holiday so didn't know about the issue. Once I found out I asked them for a few weeks to deal with paypal. They looked at my record, found I had had no problems in 4 years with them and they allowed me 4 more weeks to solve the paypal issue.

You can now understand why I will not be moving from them for a long time. Just superb customer support all round.

I would recommend HostGator. I had my 127 websites with 1and1.com for years, but recently switched to Hostgator.com and have been very pleased with their customer service.

If you are SERIOUS about internet marketing I would ALWAYS look for a hosting company with 24/7 PHONE SUPPORT.

Nothing is more frustrating than trying to get hosting problems fixed via E-MAIL... heck it might take a week... compared to Hostgator when you can just call them and say, hey I got this problem can you fix it.

When your LIVING depends on your websites being up and running 24/7 I'm very pleased with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone.

They are also Internet Marketing Friendly.

Good Luck.
