Introduction
With over 200,000 hosted web sites as of January 2006 and yet still and outstanding customer service, HostGator is on it?s way of becoming the next big leader in web hosting.

Price Value
A lot like its competitors, HostGator has made sure that more customers are attracted to easy reading pricing plans instead of having some sort of sales tactics to fool you into buying it. On HostGator?s website, the comparison of the different plans is very easy. Customers are able to choose and compare different plans easily. The best valued plan is their Shared plan that can be customized to have space from 3.5 GB to 25 GB and 50 GB to 500 GB bandwidth & a 99.9% uptime for a low $6.95 per month!

Customer Support
Web hosting companies tend to focus more on sales and forget customer sales but HostGator does not. They have a well-trained customer support staff for 24/7 troubleshooting. HostGator always makes you feel that you are well treated how big or small the problem actually is.

Reliability
HostGator is a famous award winning company for its reliability. They are committed completely to customer satisfaction with their 99.9% uptime and allow the customer to cancel their account within their 30 day money back guarantee if they are not satisfied. Web hosting top 12 has went into a deeper review and while we tried a trial period, no downtimes at all were noticed, the website ran perfectly within the test period which proves they have real promise.

Our Recommendations
While HostGator?s pricing might be a little higher than other web hosting companies, the customer service explains why the price is a bit higher. The ability to customize your plans is a big plus too!
