HostGator
American hosting HostGator is another example of a typical large and powerful service ready to offer a wide range of services at very attractive prices in tough competition. The company has been operating on the market for 12 years and during this time it has become one of the top hosting services on a global scale. Currently HostGator serves more than 7 million web projects. The advantages of HostGator are obvious and serious emphasis is placed on them on the company's website: unlimited disk space, unlimited traffic, one-click installation of programs, $100 online advertising coupons.
HostGator also offers guaranteed uptime(uninterrupted service time), more than 4 thousand free website templates, guaranteed refund in case of cancellation of services within 45 days. Like many other serious services HostGator is divided into types of hosting that already contain specific payment plans.
Web Hosting is a common virtual hosting service with three payment plans - Hatchling, Baby and Business. The difference between them is not very pronounced since all three offer unlimited disk space and traffic. Baby and Business also offer an unlimited number of sites (domains) while on Hatchling you can host only one site.
Reseller Hosting is a rather interesting offer as the name implies, especially for those who plan to resell HostGator services. Here payment plans are also offered with names stylized for the names of valuable elements:
Aluminum (50 GB of disk space, 500 GB of traffic);
Copper (80 GB on disk, 700 GB of traffic);
Silver (120 GB on disk, 1000 GB of traffic);
Gold (160 GB on disk, 1200 GB of traffic);
Diamond (200 GB on disk, 1400 GB of traffic);
Each of these plans includes an unlimited number of sites (including subdomains), databases, email accounts, ftp accounts, and cPanel accounts. A set of software for site building, a billing system, a domain reseller account, 4,500 templates for creating websites, a choice of more than 20 languages - all this is provided for free as an appendage to the basic services of the plan.
Virtual Private Hosting (VPS) service includes the following payment plans:
Snappy 500 (0.5 cores, 512 MB of RAM, 25 GB of disk space, 500 GB of traffic);
Snappy 1000 (1 processor core, 1 GB of RAM, 60 GB of disk, 1 TB of traffic);
Snappy 2000 (2 processor cores, 2 GB of RAM, 120 GB of disk, 1.5 TB of traffic);
Snappy 4000 (2 processor cores, 4 GB of RAM, 165 GB of disk, 2 TB of traffic);
Snappy 8000 (4 processor cores, 8 GB of RAM, 240 GB of disk, 3 TB of traffic);
On each tariff plan, you get dedicated ip-addresses (two!), CPanel with the option to choose to install it or not (except for Snappy 500, where Virtuozzo is offered as a control panel), unlimited number of databases, ftp and email accounts, personal NAME -servers, full access to the server with exclusive rights, weekly automatic backups and much more.
Dedicated Hosting is a full rental service of a dedicated physical server for your own needs. It offers a choice of servers based on Windows or Linux operating systems. In technical terms, these are quite powerful machines based on the Intel Xeon Dual Core or Quad Core processor from 2.3GHz to 3.3GHz with 4 - 16GB of high-performance RAM, RAID-1 hard drives up to 1000 GB and allowed traffic up to 25 TB, depending on the specific configurations. As well as on VPS, at least 2 dedicated IP addresses are provided (maximum 5), and cPanel on a Linux server and Plesk on Windows will be used as a control panel.
You can get advice from technical support in three familiar ways - through chat, by phone and through the ticket system. The work of the service is at the highest level. More than 700 people work in HostGator support. Not only that, the site officially declares that in case of the slightest claims on your part to the technical support service, the CEO of Adam Farrar may even intervene in the situation to personally help you.
Like any other major American hosting, Hostgator is in an environment of fierce competition. In practice this is expressed in affordable prices, a wide range of services, a lot of useful "chips", high reliability and extremely sensible technical support. Hostgator is equally suitable for a beginner with a small site due to affordable prices and convenient tools for site building as well as a large project. Hostgator provides all services for transferring the site and its contents to the new platform completely free of charge so if you need to change the provider you will not face any tangible difficulties.

Physically the Hostgator data center is located in Houston, Texas, USA. Like any other self-respecting American hosting Hostgator has a serious technological base and is very transparent in this regard. Some “highlight” is the fact that the servers work both on Linux and on Windows. With all the conflicting opinions the possibility of such a choice is a definite plus.
HostGator uses MySQL on all services and the number of databases that a user can create is unlimited. HostGator offers users the highly popular and familiar cPanel. Before buying anything and before registering anyone can make a personal “test drive” of the control panel, test its convenience, speed and functionality for free.
With HostGator you register in the process of purchasing a service. It is worth noting that for almost all services that are paid monthly hosting provides about 20% discount for the first month. Given that the service honestly follows the money-back policy for 45 days, this move can be considered very wise from a marketing point of view. As with most other services the longer the payment period the lower the total cost of the service.
