Hostgator Reviews Hosted at Hostgator

www.HostgatorReview.org had been hosted at hostgator.com for one month. And until this moment, i feel very satisfy with this web hosting, the support is fast, and have to mention again hostgator forum is a good place to ask for helps and flavours.

Go to hostgator.com

Almost everyday i visited this site, and hope to see it still online all time. Hostgator web hosting not let me down at all. And this site is all time up and running as i seen. This hostgator hosted website speed is reasonable and load quit fast. Much faster than other hosting that i using.

Other that that, almost every two or three days, i will visit the wordpress blog page to edit and updates this hostgator review blog. Indead, i found out that the wordpress blog response quit fast. And the page load is OK. Not much obvious delay or hang, as we seen on slow hosting server.

Althought this host gator shared hosting plan is suitable for me after all. I still considering to purchase/upgrade to baby plan. Where i can host unlimited web sites. $9.95 a month, and host unlimited websites with unlimited mysql database. This is the best offer, and best support host i come across.

Next, I give hostgator a call. Some IVR voice i can hear it clear, “press 1 for sales..”, ok i pressed one. Then i was forward to real person. Fantastic, I was expecting more prompt … bla bla bla :D. ok, i told her that i going to verify my account. She ask for my domain name, and follow by around 15 seconds waiting over phone, and she ask for credit card last 4 digits, and verifying address. She told me, “Sir, your account will be activated in 5 minutes time…” .. ok, solve! and my account is verified.
