HostGator · **Released**: 08-19-2007

Hello friends, i am currently hosting with bluehost and I am looking for a new hosting company, I was checking out HostGator, looks pretty good, anyone got any preferences, I currently have a small board with 132 members...

I read a lot of the threads here but couldn't seem to find a host that most people agreed on...

thanks for any help... Mike.

Just avoid powweb. They went down the tubes

I think most hosts are like that

I have a dedicated server through Host Gator. They are some good guys and I have never had any problems. There support is awesome! I tried out IX Web Hosting and they suck well if you have a large site they aren't very good.

Hostgator? They suck. They take down my website without noticed and i contacted both sales and support 1 hour ago, no responce. Their support is crap.

On the flip side, their support is good. I was running on some money issues and wasn't getting paid for a few more days after my payment due date. I asked for an extension and they gave it to me without any problems. The one thing I don't like about HostGator is that unless you override the error pages setting with .htaccess, if someone gets a 404 error on your site, they'll get one that looks like HostGator's layout, etc with a "Page cannot be displayed thing" So it's like.. free advertising.

I'd give the thumbs up to try them out

that's 100% normal wheter you are online or not does not mater here you have an agreement with them unless you cancel it you must pay your bills or be taken offline pretty fair isn't it ?

I have a LOT of domains with Host Gator and I really like them! I have three hosting accounts with about 100-domains but out of those 100-domains only perhaps 2-dozen of the domains are significant sites.

I had a Dedicated server with them. My forums had over 5000 registered users. I had no issues with them. Support was fantastic!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
