Overall Satisfaction with HostGator
We used HostGator to host our websites. We didn't have a lot of traffic going to the site so we needed a cheaper hosting option and went with HostGator. We reviewed a bunch of other web hosts and this fit what we needed the most for the price. We also got a really good sign-up promotion so it was a great deal.
- They are a very cheap option to host websites.
- They had a simple interface.
- There were plenty of how-to articles and videos online.
- Customer service was pretty good.
- The interface was a bit dated and could have been refreshed.
- There was occasional downtime that seemed like it lasted longer than it should have.
- Renewal prices are higher.
- We hosted our websites pretty inexpensively with HostGator.
- We set up our sites and didn't have many issues at all after that.
- HostGator worked behind the scenes and we didn't have to worry about hosting.
- For $5 a month it was a really great decision.
I have used Bluehost and Westhost before. All of these hosts were very similar--similar pricing, interface, uptime, and hosting options. We ended up moving to Bluehost as our sites grew. Overall, I like Bluehost better. They were more reliable and easier to use and I liked their customer service a little better.
