We host over 50 websites with Hostgator and are very happy

[websitesareus]

As web designers we host all of our own websites and many customer websites at Hostgator (it's probably more than 50 different accounts we have set up with Hostgator within the last 2 years). Hostgator is hands down the best web hosting company we know (and we have worked with many of heir competitors as some clients already have a hosting account somewhere else).

Here are out top 5 reasons why we love Hostgator:

• They are honest and not pushy and don't try to upsell you stuff you don't need when you open a new account, and you don't get annoying sales calls after you order

• The servers are very reliable, we have never had any noticeable downtime, nor were we ever 'locked out' of accounts (with others, our IP address gets frequently banned when we test websites)

• All websites we host with Hostgator are secure and were never hacked (you wouldn't believe how often websites get hacked with cheap shared hosting accounts at g*****y and *and*)

• Hostgator has all you need and more included in each plan,: state-of-the art software, templates, unlimited email accounts and much more, and the cpanel is the easiest way to manage and monitor websites. (We can't believe that another well-known competitor g*****y still runs PHP 4 by default, and you have to jump through loops to get programs to run, and have to pay extra for a second email address...)

• Technical support at Hostgator is OUTSTANDING, all US-Texas based, very knowledgeable, and you can reach them 24/7. Every issue we ever had was solved instantly. We love the online chat, because you can copy and paste error messages, and it helps getting problems resolved fast.

As web professionals' we like to think that what we demand from a web hosting company and the technical questions we have are a little more 'sophisticated' than those of an 'average' consumer. This is why we think, Hostgator's web hosting and their support is truly outstanding.

We highly recommend Hostgator to everybody, whether you have only one website, or one hundred.
