This month I have completed one successful year with hostgator hosting.  My experience with Hostgator has been excellent. For last one year my website has never been offline. The uptime was almost 100 %. Also their online chat support and phone support were excellent. CPanel is just awesome due to its script installer Fantastico and other features like backups, redirects, subdomain stats etc. Let me tell you more about this hosting giant. HostGator is one of the most popular Internet domain registrars and web hosting company. HostGator was founded in 2002 by Brent Oxley. They have hosted over 1 million domains. It is the world’s leading provider of reseller accounts with over 20,000 resellers who have chosen it to provide the network, servers, and support required to launch a hosting business. 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 current industry standard.

I am using the Hostgator Plan called Baby Linux for my blog. It price is $9.95 per month. Here I have 600 GB space and 6000 GB bandwidth. HostGator is consistently ranked among the best web hosting companies by most of the review sites. What makes hostgator stand out from the crowd is their excellent support and customer friendliness. Suppose if you are not satisfied with the support, you could even get hostgator president Brent Oxley to personally take a look at your problem.

At present they offer only linux hosting but soon they are going to start windows hosting. All their packages come with all the features needed for a serious website. It provides cPanel, which is the best control panel for maintaining multiple websites on internet. They support PHP4 & 5, SSH, Cron jobs, Python, Ruby On Rails etc. So if you want to start any website then I would strongly recommend HostGator as the web host.
