Hostgator Review

While reviewing any web host, there is a dilemma - should we really recommend it? More often than not, the answer would be “perhaps”. But for hostgator, we won’t hesitate - the answer is a definite yes! Sorry for the spoiler, if you really have the time you may proceed to read the review below. Otherwise just go to hostgator and get yourself an account!

Hostgator Features ReviewHostgator offers linux hosting only(even though they are expected to start windows hosting in the near future). All their packages come with all the features needed for a serious website. Baby and Swamp packages allow unlimited domains(add on), which makes a lot of sense if you have multiple websites. They use cPanel, which is the best control panel around. You get Fantastico script installer which will install most of the popular open source scripts with few clicks.

They support PHP4 & 5, SSH, Cron jobs, Python, Ruby On Rails etc. Also, all the packages include enough POP3 accounts(20 for Hatchling and unlimited for others).

Hostgator Performance Review

Hostgator host their sites on top-of-the-line Dual Xeon servers in their data centers at Dallas. The data centers are well equipped and connects to 10 backbone providers. They offer 99.9% uptime Guarantee which is the industry standard.

We started realtime testing of hostgator uptime on Feb 2008. The test is done on a site hosted with hostgator, using a third party uptime monitor service. The result for the month of April shows 99.98% uptime for our test site hosted with hostgator.

Over a period of 3 months from February 2008-April 2008, hostgator has been providing the BEST performance out of all hosts tested. There has never been a single case of site being down for more than 5 minutes at a stretch. Hostgator indeed lived up to their reputation.
