Full Plan Features

General Information: HostGator has established it’s business since Oct., 2002 in Florida, USA. Hostgator is a respectful hosting provider. According to them, they provide service to over 1,000,000 websites on shared and reseller plans. They also provide reseller accounts with over 20,000 resellers.
HostGator offers a range of shared hosting plans starting from $6.95/mo to dedicated servers. Their low-end hosting plan provides a monthly 50G bandwidth of traffic, enough for personal and small business websites.

Multiple-Domain Support: With the Hatchling plan, you could only host 1 site in 1 account. However, if you upgrade to the Baby Plan, you could host unlimited websites as long as the disk space and bandwidth permit. However, if you have more than 5 sites, we seriously recommend you to find a vps or dedicated server instead of a shared host.

Control Panel: Hostgator chooses cPanel as user control panel. cPanel is extremely feature rich as well as includes an easy-to-use web based interface (GUI). And with Fantastico, you could install your favorite CMS system (such as mambo, joomla, typo3, phpnuke) as well as blogs (e.g. Nucleus, Textpattern, b2evolution, Geeklog, Wordpress) in just one click.

Support: They offer 24/7/365 phone support, 24/7/365 live chat and 99.9% uptime (99.5% for the hatchling plan) . Besides almost all support tickets take no longer than 30 minutes to get responded.

Web Statistics: They provide three log file analyzers. Log file analyzer tool can tell you how many unique visitors per day, how often search engine bots visit you, by which means people find your website, what keyword phrases the visitors use to find your site and much much more. Among these analyzer tools, we believe awstats is most accurate in distinguishing between human visitors and search engine bots.
