Hostgator without a doubt!

Here is a thread with some reviews: Frustrated with one web host. Need your advice in finding another RELIABLE host.

but why? Godaddy gives you access to several apps and plugins. Does Host gator do the same?

godaddy sucks! it's really bad compared with hostgator.hostgator is the best ever!

I am using godaddy, not bad

[DELETED]

I have to here yet agree with all posts here. The 2 companies have both advantages and dis-advanatges .

I can however say that GoDaddy have improved more on their customer service!

[DELETED]

Do not use GoDaddy - I prefer Hostgator or Bluehost or Justhost for their committment and experience in the web hosting industry...

hostgator for sure, especially if you have your domains with godaddy

[DELETED]

Always hostgator. I have been paying $10 per month for 2 years.

Never had a problem!

Dont bother to think about GoDaddy, go for HostGator. They are the best, just make sure you follow their TOS well and you will have a fantastic support from their side.

Always hostgator. I have been paying $10 per month for 2 years.

Does anyone have any experience with "Fatcow" ? I recently signed up with them and they seem to be working pretty good. I like that I can call and actually talk to a person if I need to.

I agonized searching for a hosting company because if you get online and do a search for anyone of them you always find complaints for any of them. So it gets difficult finding one that will work for IM needs.

Hostgator is the best. Very reliable and the customer service is excellent!

Yeah, I agreed to most of the people taht say Hostgator. I have purchased domains on Godaddy, but host them on Hostgator. Its very easy to make an Add-on domain with Hostgator, plus the cpanel is a powerfool tool. For example using cpanels Fantastico u can add a wordpress blog in minutes.

Never mix domain registrars and hosting companies...if you got problems they have you by the .....

Used Hostgator for few years, really liked them. Go Daddy drove their prices on their domains up, never using their hosting, but I would not count on them after seeing their high prices on domains.

Hi

I use Godaddy to buy domains and transfer them to Hostgator for hoisting.

I've used godaddy for the past 3 years, they've only pissed me off 2-3 times since then so i guess they are Ok. Godaddy really loves My PayPal account.

Hostgator definitely has my vote for hosting. I have been with them for 5 years and have never had single problem. The Live chat support is the best there is too.

Godaddy is not a good choice for IM. They are not good even as registrars for IMers.

You can cut that from your list definitely

Sorry to be Johhny Come Lately, but choosing wisely is so important...

Hostgator.

Go Daddy isn't internet marketer friendly. They don't take spam complaints nicely, even if you didn't do it. In their terms they basically say that they can lock everything until further notice. It's just like large spikes in profit in a paypal account because of a massive product launch. They want an explanation or and they won't take no for an answer. Bottom Line: It's very risky

[DELETED]

I think Hosting should never be decided upon solely on cost. Service provided is much more important. I've used HostGator for a couple of years and have always been very pleased with their support. I like that they have technical people who can answer the tough questions too.

Yes, I would go for Hostgator. So far, so good with their service.

Someone recently blogged about why you should never use godaddy for domains. Don't know about the hosting but if there were this many problems w/domains, I'd think twice. Here's a link to the site that has all kinds of horror stories about godaddy if you're interested.
NoDaddy.Com - Exposing the Many Reasons Not to Trust GoDaddy with Your Domain Names

[DELETED]

I would say hostgator. They have a good customer service and a reliable hosting. Sure, each company have their own disadvantage. This is just my opinion

Definitely Hostgator. i have heard too many horror stories with godaddy hosting. On top of that the support at Hostgator is very responsive and friendly.

I would still go with HostGator and Godaddy for my Domains both for have been very dependable for me I have 10 sites with know problems in 3 years

[DELETED]

No doubt..
HOSTGATOR...

Choose Hostgator - by far the better web hosting service and most reliable support. You can count on them being online almost all the time and having no trouble with their servers.

I'm new as well in affiliate marketing. And since one month now, I purchased and hosted few domain names.
I think the best thing you can do is buy domain name with godaddy and host them with host gator.
I'm particulary impress with host gator chat service. I used it a lot already and every time, they answered to my questions very quickly. More the host gator cpanel is very intuitive and very easy to use.

at the suggestion of the group (on another thread) I signed up with Hostgator yesterday. Very easy, very smooth.

HINT: I started the signup page and the phone rang. Didn't complete for almost a half hour and when I came back it offered me a coupon code - SPRING - for I think 20% or 40% off (sorry, don't remember which) on the 2 year plan.

I don't know if it does it automatically for everyone or because I sat idle on the page for so long, but hey - give it a try !!!

Oh, and I signed up for the "Baby Plan" for 2 years...

I later added a static IP address. As the chat tech told me, you have to order that separately, after you order the site and the site is live.

That static IP can take 12-48 hours from what he said...

Good choice

Do not hesitate to contact them via chat gator even if it's for simple things and several times a day. When I'm not sure about something, even if I feel it's stupid question, I contact them and in few minutes I have my answer.

By doing that, you prevent yourself doing something too quick and wrong.

I have been using Godaddy for about 6 years with great success. The few minor problem I've had where resolved quickly or I got a refund. I have about 5 blogs hosted currently.

Of the two given, definitely Hostgator. Having said that, I chose Bluehost. When I was looking, I saw some bad reviews for Hostgator in regards to service. As far as service is concerned, I can't imagine anyone being better than Bluehost. They're absolutely top rate!

They had bought domains on Godaddy, but host them on Hostgator. Its easily to make an Add-on domain with Hostgator, plus the Cpanel is a powerfool tool. For example it using Cpanels Fantastico they can add a Wordpress blog.

I have been with Hostgator since August of 2006 and have had no problems and excellent customer service. I have however heard several horror stories as well.

Definitely do not host your site at GoDaddy. I use them solely for the purpose of registering my domains and have stuck with them simply because I've been with them so long but from what I hear, they can legally take your domain name away from you if you violate their TOS. No thanks to their hosting!

If you want a less expensive with more personal customer service alternative, check out hostwinds

I have worked with clients using GoDaddy, the speeds are horrendous, I host numerous sites on Hostgator with a basic plan and I am happy with what I paid for.

how is it going

HI,
I am with Hostome.com for more than a year and i am very satisfied with their host support and price.

I like Godaddy's customer service but their user interface for their hosting is a little funky. Where as Hostgator gives you cPanel with Linux hosting, but their customer service stinks. So there you go!

I keep my domains with GoDaddy but use HostGator for my hosting. I have a package with unlimited domains so it's been really nice every time I want to try out a domain for a while not to have to think about hosting after I have purchased it. I just go into my cpanel and create a new add-on domain after I have updated the nameservers on GoDaddy. If I change my mind in a couple of months it's no big deal because I haven't paid quarterly or annually for hosting.

I'd recommend Internet.bs for domains. About $8 a piece and free whois privacy. And I would absolutly stay away from GoDaddy. HostGator is probably the best of the large unlimied (not really unlimmited) hosting, but theres a lot of better options. In short, I think MediaLayer is the best shared host but their expensive. For the longer explanation, see my website.

I am using Hostgator. It's very good (security, speed, support, backup...)

HOSTGATOR...

A cheaper alternative to HostGator is FusionHost. Been with them for over a year and never experienced downtime. Service is top notch!

Godaddy is good for domain. Domain management is very easy. I have few domains with them. Hostgator is good for cheap but reliable hosting and there customer care services is good. I have my sites hosted with hostgator and so far never had any problem!

I am recommend to choose hostgator...
its fast and reliable...

Godaddy goood

am using hostgator for linux, and go daddy for windows

You can use godaddy for domain registration for hosting use Hostgator or Bluehost. These two are most reliable.

I also vote on hostgator. It hosted 5 million domain names and with immediate response of tech support for your concerns.

I must here yet agree with all posts here. The two companies have both advantages and dis-advanatges .

[DELETED]

in my personal experience , go daddy its just good to get all your domains cause the key keep doing tons of diffrent offers to buy domains now for hosting WITHOUT ANY DOUBT HOSTGATOR

hostgator for sure or brainhost for secondary choice I use both and happy with them

Hostgator is cheap and provide more better service to there users. I swtich my site hosting to hostgator.

I should say, it depends on your site's needs. Perhaps, you can try any web hosts for free.

Godaddy is good for domains, but not for hosting. For hosting rather go with Hostgator.

Definitely hostgator from those two.

Neither, GoDaddy is a great registrar though. My suggestion arvixe dot com

[DELETED]

I don't know how people cope with GoDaddy for hosting, the control panel is so slow with the gazillion offers and upsells they have on it which have to load up as well lol.

It seems that every action you do, such as adding a domain, takes a few minutes for it to setup. Plus, it takes about 20 minutes for WordPress to be installed, even when using their installer app.

I used GoDaddy to install WordPress for a private client and it must have took me about an hour to finally have the addon domain setup and have WordPress installed. It would have been quicker to do it manually.

Stick with a cPanel host such as FusionHost or HostGator. I use the Softaculous 1-click installer at FusionHost and you can install WordPress in literally 5 seconds. For domains I recommend NameCheap.

150% Hostgator, they offer Cpanel/WHM hosting options which are super easy to use.

Using Hostgator for hosting and godaddy for domains for over 1 year, I didn't have any issue yet, but I saw a lot of bad stories with both, so I decided to try different companies, making a research over here and the best comments went to Bluehost and Namecheap, Bluehost with just 1 click you can update all your wordpress sites, imagine if you have over 100.
I stopped to buy from godaddy because I hate all their upsells, really can confuse a newb, the only good thing if you need transfer a domain,must of us have a account with godaddy so is very easy and fast when both are using godaddy.

My 0.2

I think Hostgator is the best. Their customer service is fast and efficient

Hostgator is the best for hosting.

Try .
I have been with them for many years with many websites - never any problems and very quick turn-around on support

As a veteran computer technician, Web designer, and computer/e-commerce/Intrnet instructor at local colleges, I have put many of my students and clients with this service and trust their reliability and support.

I use 1&1 Internet Inc. for registration and DNS fowarding of all my domains. They offer the lowest prices and have been around for ages.
One of the things I like about them is that they offer Free Private Registration.. Your name and details are not shown to the public.
Most registrars charge extra for this service.


They offer Toll Free Customer Service/Sales Line to answer any questions you may have.

Hostgator is the best for sure.

[DELETED]

Before getting anyones hosting just confirm about there support team. How fast they can solve your hosting related problem and how much time they need to ans the support ticket answer.. This is the main thing you must check before select any web hosting provider..
thanks

Host Gator for Hosting
NameCheap for Domain!!

They'll not let u down!!

I use godaddy for domains (although HostGator is working on their own domain registrar platform) and HostGator to host my sites. The support @ HostGator is great.

Hostgator is LOVE!!!

I like hostgator and have for many years now. I now use my own server now which is HostGut.com. I would love to offer Warriors hosting.

We are growing like crazy with more than 300 clients. Half of them from here!

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...affiliate.html

I can't stand GoDaddy and their endless upsells. Not matter what you try to purchase with GoDaddy, they will always offer you at least another 50 useless services on top of your product that you simply don't need.

Never go from other then Hostgator. I am also using Hostgator and having no problem.

GoDaddy is a very good record, but many of my customers had problems with sites running WordPress so had to switch hosts. Hostgator and BlueHost are pretty good, I personally use ResellerZoom.

i can only share my experience

i have been with hostgator for years now with 0 problems, fantastic support and brilliant value for money. i currently host 80 websites with them for about $9 a month!

Hostgator for sure.

All the best and good luck!

Godaddy for domain names and Hostgator for hosting!

I have been a user/reseller of hostgator for quite a long time. I think that explains

Definitively Hostgator.

As of my EXP, If you're going for GoDaddy, Don't take shared servers.
They don't install you want you need.

GoDaddy is a great registrar, but several of my clients had problems with their websites running WordPress so they had to switch hosts.

Godaddy is the best deal for all types of hosting, Go for it.

From personal experience, I find BlueHost to be the best. They have very low down time, lots of cool services for your website, and the best customer service. They have made making my web site available to others a simple and easy task. BlueHost has also made great tutorials to help you get started.

If you absolutely have to go with either HostGator or GoDaddy, I would choose GoDaddy. Hope that helps!

The biggest difference we think you will see between GoDaddy and HostGator are in the number of products they carry and the way in which they service those products, otherwise both are similar to each other.

Go Daddy sucks, period. Don't even mess with it

HostGator is great and programmers friendly server. Some programmer are having trouble on other hosting server.

I'd say Hostgator is better. Only if you use the sharing hosting or dedicated servers. The reseller one sucks big time.

Godaddy only good for domains aftermarket. Hosting is not recommended.

Web hosting and domain both are interconnected to each other, because without domain you can't used web hosting services. So first decide you domain than select any web hosting services.

I'd definitely go for Hostgator for hosting stuff. Godaddy shared hosting is a joke (though their virtual servers work well). In addition, and this is only one particular incident, but I attempted to install a plugin for Wordpress that was meant to send me weekly database backups (WP-DBManager), and ended up finding out that Godaddy locks down their database access too much for even a simple backup of the database to be generated and emailed to me. That's more of a convenience thing, though, and I didn't dig really deep into the technical portion of it after reading that people were having the same issues with that particular plugin and Godaddy hosting in general.

[DELETED]

Hostgator and Godady both of them I am using to host my sites. Both of them are good but Hostgator is better as I think that I can get online support help 24/7. Its the plus point.

HostGator here... no comments

I had been using hostgator services almost 4 years, great services and support,.

Godaddy is best for domains but not for hosting in my experience

Godaddy for domain names.

Hostgator for web hosting.

That's it!

I bought the field on GoDaddy, but the host on Hostgator. It's very easy to create an add-on domain with Hostgator over cPanel is a tool to mislead the authorities.
