HostGator Review : hostgator.com
Overview:
HostGator web hosting were first formed back in 2002 by owner Brent Oxley whilst he was still at university. HostGator grew very rapidly from a small hosting company into a large one very quickly without the usual teething problems.
Features:
Hostgator shared hosting offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth and come with free setup. Although you do have to pay $15 for your domain name, which not many hosts still charge for. No fantastic which is a slight disappointment as this includes all the easy 1 click software installs of wordpress, joomla etc. Unlike some most of the other major shared web hosting companies HostGator diversed into dedicated and reseller hosting also.
Summary:
A good solid web hosting company in our opinion but they do have lots of mixed views on their reliability. No free domain and no fantastico suite is a little disappointing. Read The Rest Of This Review

A Great Discovery
Reviewer: Nigel Favers

HostGator wasn’t a name I was familiar with when I trawled the ads looking for a new host for my sites, but believe me when I tell you it’s one that you want to get familiar with if you need a reliable and on the button service. There are no gimmicks here, just straightforward and simple hosting by a service that knows what it’s doing and with people who understand that the customer is the one who calls the shots! This is a truly great service that I can’t fault, and I never thought I would say that about anything associated with internet hosting!
Great Stuff - Go to the 'Gator!

Are you sick and tired of hosting companies that promise you the earth and then don’t deliver? I know the feeling well; more than a year with one of the top names in the business and all I paid for was disappointment. Then I came across HostGator, and I know it sounds like a cliché but signing up there has changed my life. It’s a great value comprehensive package that even a complete novice can use, the staff are superb and get back to you quickly, I’ve had complete 100% reliability so far and am very pleased – and that’s from someone who is notoriously difficult to satisfy!
These guys come out on top for me!

Host Gator have been hosting websites for my clients for some time, I used to do this within my own Host Gator account adding clients in as additional domains. This meant however that clients didn't receive individual access to a cpanel account since doing so would give them access to all my other clients websites.
I then stumbled accross this reseller hosting, as I total novice I signed up and learnt the basics. Now I can host my clients websites giving them complete control over their own website, this also makes it much more profitable since I can charge them more for a higher level of service.
Good Site Builder

I just setup my account several days ago and I have to say, Host Gator was pretty quick at implementing everything. The support staff was on board 24/7 and I rarely had to wait very long for my questions to be answered. I'm still working on creating my site but overall, the results have been pretty good because of their site builder. It's been a breeze so far.
