Hostgator only began in 2002. I say only because in this relatively short space of time they have manged to become one of the biggest hosting companies in the world with over 2 million domains currently being hosted. They are not stopping on their laurels however and continue to plan ambitious growth.

They are primarily a budget web host and provide hosting accounts starting at 5 bucks a month and going up to 13 for a business account, which is certainly affordable for everyone.

Each of the available plans including the lowest costing package offer unlimited packages meaning that it is possible to host as many domains as you like with unlimited bandwidth and disk space. The packages are also enabled for CGI PHP 5, ROR, MYSQL, SSH, SSL, IMPA, POP and Cpanel access

Again, whilst this stuff sounds impressive there are another 2 potentially more important aspects that tells you whether Hostgator is a company you should be entrusting your domains too.

The first is the high level of service, even though the accounts are shared the server speeds are very good and I can get through to the support team quickly, either by the chat function, phone or email.

There is no long term contract to sign. That means that when you open an account it can be canceled at any time. They are even prepared to give your money back up to 45 days after you have signed on if for some reason you do not want to continue with their service.

Next, is the fact that Hostgator are environmentally aware and concerned. I share the same principles and have been using renewable energy sources for my power for several years now. They do the same and combine this with the most energy efficient servers on the market as well.

So with these two factors, I get a great hosting service at the right price and I can also feel secure that my business is not contributing to the pollution of the planet. So when I am asked professionally or by friends who I would recommend as a hosting company I am happy to reply Hostgator.
