    I wouldn’t recommend Hostgator to anyone, as their service has deteriorated now, and they create a lot of problems and unnecessary restriction on their hosting plans, without any prior notice.

        I use Hostgator too, but am currently planning to move to a new server as they put a lot of restrictions, and make the hosted sites unavailable without any prior notice.

    Making an extensive search on the online platform and getting multiple quotes are the best suited ways to find the right kind of hosting. Web hosting is the back bone and should be done rightly.

    HosyGator all the way for me. I have never had down time like I have with BlueHost. I also know for a fact that HostGator servers are faster as well. At least they seem like it to me. I have never measured them but seem to notice a significant difference.

    Hosting must be on the top list of priorities when starting a site. I am glad that you have mentioned hostgator in your list as that is the one that I have been using. I have heard good things about bluehost but not used it. I think lots of top bloggers are using a combination of these 2 hosting services alone.

    Yes! As of now we only go with hostgator and such web hosting which has achieved the big name. No doubt that Hostgator is one of the best one available and I am also using the same. But there are many who provides the same hosting features and reliability at much cheaper price :)

    Sensible post. More than finalizing a catchy name knowing the customers and their expectation is important and wiser option. Many of my friends also have voted for Hostgator.

    Hi Ammar,

    I think when people buying their hosting they first choose the hosting which is cheap so that they can pay it. But they fails to know that cheap hosting will always results in cheap performance.. Also also the main things towards blogging is hosting,,, suppose if we have a blog with awesome content on it and if the hosting is not uptime or having some errors.. So the blog will be waste and doesn’t have any traffic.

    So i recommend HG for best results .

    Ammar,
    Don’t know the reason behind this ROCKET SCIENCE but I have read on many blogs that manual backups are good than backups generated by plugins (May be I am wrong).
    And Thanks for telling me about the backup system of Hostgator .
    15$ for backup Really Funny :))
    LOLX HOSTGATOR =)) Don’t Mind Bro That’s my point of view Ammar, May your feedback to this Hostgator is good :D

    Really Good Guest Post.
    Well, coming to the question you’ve asked,
    Which hosting do you use and Why?

    I am using Ipage hosting. The reason I am using this because it’s reliable, affordable, and one of the feature I like most in Ipage was it creates backup on daily basis. In the Control Panel, We are provided last 3 days days backup, so I am TENSION FREE to make backup daily or weekly backups but still I download backup weekly.

    And I guess Hostgator don’t have this feature . I think they create backup on weekly basis ! Isn’t it ?

      Yeah, Hostgator don’t provide auto backup system. We have to use some plugin in our WP Blog to take backup. However if anything went wrong with your blog. You can pay 15$ or more to Hostgator. They will restore your website from last backup (they did). :)

    Well the most important factor in starting a new blog is choosing a right web hosting which reliable and also 100% uptime. It must also provides some good support with in real time.

    If I am not wrong Ammar Bhai hostgator is not that affordable for starters like me. You might be making handsome money out of your blog so you can invest big I know. I only pay Rs.300 yearly for hosting whereas you pay per month right.
