When I was looking for a new website host, I looked at a lot of them only to that they were either expensive or too good to be true. Many of them also wanted a setup fee which costs five times more than what they charge for a monthly fee. That was until I found HostGator. The experience with HostGator has been amazing, and I love them enough to write a HostGator review.

If it is just for Reseller, Shared, and Dedicated hosting, or for a business, HostGator has the hosting you want. The Shared packages, Hatching, Baby, and Business include unlimited storage, bandwidth, MySQL databases, POP3 (email) accounts, and sub-domains. On their Baby and Business hosting plans, unlimited domains can be hosted for no additional cost.

Whether you are a new or seasoned webmaster, HostGator has everything to get the best out of your website. If you do not have the patience to install a blog platform or a message board, it can be installed with just one-click via Fantastico with cPanel.

Other web software can be installed from image galleries, blog software, guestbooks, portals, and over 50 others. In addition to a growing community, but with limited time and the knowledge of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) can build a website in minutes using over 4,500 free website templates.

If you would rather install software the traditional way, it can be done with File Transfer Protocol, or FTP for short. HostGator also supports FrontPage for design savvy webmasters. To manage databases, cPanel has PHPMyAdmin that lets users manage databases via a user interface. A wide range of other programming languages are also supported: Perl, SSH, PHP 5, Ruby on Rails, CGI, and Python.

Not everything comes with the first two hosting tiers, but for those looking for Business hosting, Chillsoft ASP is supported. An account also provides a free Toll-Free number for your business, as well as Anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Private SSL, and Dedicated IP. Need to open an Online Store quickly? Also in cPanel you can install E-commerce shopping cart on all packages software for easy ordering for your customers.

Once your website is up and running, HostGator provides a few statistics tracking software for seeing where on the web your visitors originated, as well as managing the bandwidth of your website. If you run into any problems, there is also an error log to see which page is missing from you and your visitors.

Do not have an existing domain? No problem! You can purchase one from HostGator when you sign up. If you have an existing domain, it could be difficult to move from another web host, but it is not as hard as it sounds. You also have the option to use your current domain when signing up, and it can be configured on your own (for the experienced) or by customer service.

HostGator is truly the best web host provider out there. Reading this HostGator review, you too can have a quality website with the best webmaster tools along with millions of other customers for the best price.
