Answer: It is not your fault you are confused. Finding a web host should not be so complicated. Web hosting is one of the most important part of your business and can mean the success and failure for your business.
Before we answer your question, let us review the 7 qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- does not suspend accounts easily like other cheap hosting,
- gives unlimited diskspace,
- offers unlimited bandwidth,
- gives multiple add-on domains,
- has friendly Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
- has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.
To answer your question, why not try Hostgator. If you need an “unlimited” hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best hosting and domain registrar around.
With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below.

Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

There are a number of inexpensive web hosting services that allow you to use your domain name and not force you to have advertising on your web site. Professional appearance is very important to your business. You must present yourself as a quality company. It will be worth the $12-$20 a month. In the business world, if something is “free”, ask yourself what they are getting from the service.
Before you choose, make sure you know what you want your web site to do. For example, if you will be running an online shopping cart, these usually require a database function. What program will you be designing your web site in? If you use a template that someone offers, make sure it does not look like a template. Most “free” templates will look and feel like a cookie cutter web site. This again will detract from your site.
Take some time and a little money and design or have your web site designed to look professional. There are millions of businesses out there because the internet is a wonderful marketing tool. However, because of this, you need to set yourself apart from the rest!
