Imagine this scenario: You have this great idea for a new blog. If you can get it live you are positive that you will very easily dominate the niche, getting thousands of subscribers along the way. Now you just need some place to host your blog, and a service that will help get it up and running would be nice too. You do a fast search, and are suddenly bombarded with hundreds upon hundreds of sites promising you the very best, the cheapest, the fastest, the most unlimited, ad infinitum, web host in the entire universe. You don't know what to pick so you choose the one which has a site that grabs your attention. You see it's only $3 per month. You can manage that. You go to pay, and suddenly notice you need to sign up for a entire year. "Ok" you say, "My blog will easily last that long." and pay the $36 for one year of hosting. You go to log into your account for the first time, and are met with significantly less functionality than you expected to find from the sales pitch on the home page. Every one of the services that would help you upload a blog cost extra cash, and you can not find a way to link any other external services to your account because those services are missing too. You go to the customer service portion of the site and realize, there is nobody home. Oh wait. There is, but they're just incredibly slow and do not genuinely know what they're talking about.
I'm ashamed to admit that this has occurred to me more than once. I never gave up though. I decided I wished to make a new site recently, and I knew that none of the previous hosts I had tried were going to be worth trying again. I had read here and there about a company called HostGator. The name did not really grab my interest, but I respected the people who were using it. Their content was always top notch, and I failed to remember ever seeing their websites down. The more I searched, the more quality content I found hosted on it. So I made a decision to try it.
This is what I learned: HostGator is definitely an exceptional web hosting company. I do not foresee myself trying any other hosting services since I've found it. It is packed full of features, at a really competitive price. After having many bad ordeals and disappointments with other hosts, like the example above, I realized having the flexibility, ease of use, and power of cPanel was an absolute must. HostGator has one of the latest versions! Similarly, the readily available tutorials, help files, and documentation freely available are far superior to the competitors. HostGator has an Online Support Portal with 500+ video tutorials 680+ help articles! If you can't find what you're looking for there, 24/7/365 Premium Support via Phone, Live Chat, and Ticket System (Email) insures that help is there when you need to have it most.
For those of you presently hosting your domains, sites, and data with other hosts, HostGator makes transferring all of these assets onto their platform very simple. Do not allow lack of technical abilities stop you. Support is available 24/7/365 if you need help with these transfers or anything else. Furthermore, the massive number of website templates, the site building tools SiteBuilder and SiteStudio are invaluable. Fantastico allows you to add instant shopping carts, blogs, portals, and forums! Other tools for SEO (Site Engine Optimization) makes getting your site found easy, even for complete beginners.
Needless to say, I love it. I am operating a number of websites on my account (I have a "Baby" plan for hosting unlimited domains), and have yet to experience any notable troubles. The help files, tutorials, wizards, and one on one support truly rises above the mark of other hosts I've tried. After some time working with it, I am positive I will never give those other hosts the time of day.
Finally, HostGator doesn't require a contract. You don't have to sign up for an whole year just to try it out. In fact, when I signed up, I only got 1 month. That one month only cost me $0.01 by using a coupon code. You can use the coupon code "ibuywebhosting" (without quotations of course) if you'd like, and you will get the same deal. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. There is even a 45 day money back guarantee.
I hope your future with HostGator is as bright as my time with them has been.
