Review: HostGator – Unlimited Web Hosting

WebHost: HostGator

HostGator is so far the best value for cost hosting I have found so far, and the support is great! I wish it were cheaper, but at $7.95, you can’t complain! Keep reading for some HostGator coupons – You can get your first month for $0.01, or 20% off your initial order!

Pro’s:

• Cost-Efficient
• Instant Setup
• Unlimited Space/Bandwidth
• Host Unlimited Websites
• Unlimited MySQL Databases
• Live & Ticket Support System (will even respond at 2am EST)

Con’s:

• Limited SSH access
• It could cost less than $7.95
• They could offer Canadian pricing
• Support answers almost instantly, so I have to refresh my browser window
• Not much to complain about, which is a con itself

HostGator is my favourite “Unlimited Everything” web host so far. It was my first, before HostHi. HostGator is a very well run company. You definately get what you pay for.

Whenever I had a problem, I would either get it resolved right away with live support, or from the ticket system. Usually ticket systems take a day or so to respond, but HostGator seems to respond right away all hours of the night! I only had 1 problem though, and I can’t even remember what it was! I think it was more of a question.

How to get a discount:

To get 20% off: Go to the site, select a package & term, and go through the payment processor. It should automatically add in the coupon code when you go through the processor, but if not, the code is “SNOWMAN” – This is recommended on 12 month+ terms

or

To get your first month for 1 cent: Go to the site, select a package & term, and go through the payment processor. It should ask for a coupon code, and it might pre-populate that field. Decide whether the current offer saves you more or not. If not, then erase the code that is in that box and put in “hgc25″ – This is recommended on monthly terms
