Hostgator — Founded in 2002 in Boca Raton, Florida, it is one of the most stable, fastest, most secure and most acclaimed web hosting providers in the United States. Hostgator is inexpensive, has fast access speeds from all over the world, and has customers in more than 100 countries and regions. Its products are particularly suitable for practical small and medium-sized enterprises and individual users. Hostgator's logo is a brave little crocodile with the words "we eat up the competition" written below. What it means is that we have eaten up all the competition, which shows its confidence in its own virtual hosting products.
In 2005, Hurricane Wilma hit Florida. During this high-risk period, Hostgator still maintained a 99.99% online rate, attracting a large number of customers. Hostgator's virtual hosting is cheap, about 960 RMB a year, and can be paid monthly.
Hostgator has both Linux and Windows hosts. Hosts of different systems have a set of hosting plans that are similar to the other system. Generally, the hosts we use from HostGator are all Linux-based. Individuals generally use the Baby hosting plan in the virtual host, which comes with 600G space, 6000G monthly traffic, and an unlimited number of bound domain names. The monthly price is US$7.95.
HostGator's main business is not virtual hosting, but Reseller hosting. There are five plans for its Reseller hosting, namely Aluminum, Copper, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. The specific configurations can be found in the detailed configuration list on its official website. HostGator's Reseller hosting uses a powerful control system that combines WHM and cPanel, which can ensure that Reseller accounts can easily sell and manage hosts, and that each Customer account can easily manage its own host. Of course, independent hosting is also within its business scope.
price
Among the virtual hosts in the United States, Hostgator's price is not the most expensive, but it is certainly not the cheapest either. Its lowest-configuration host Hatchling Shared Hosting has 350G of space and 3000G of monthly traffic, and the annual price is US$4.95/month, which is only US$60 a year, or less than RMB 420. Of course, this plan only allows you to add one domain name, so we generally don't use it. After removing this plan, only the Baby Shared Hosting plan is most suitable for our general individual users and small and medium-sized enterprises to build websites. It has 600G of space and 6000G of traffic, and the annual price is US$7.95/month. The total price for a year is less than US$96, or less than RMB 670. This price is cheaper than DreamHost, BlueHost, etc., but its host performance is definitely better than DH and BH, so HostGator is a host I strongly recommend. In fact, we don't even need to consider its Swamp Shared Hosting plan. Although the space has increased and the traffic has become unlimited, as long as the space and traffic of a host reach dozens of GB, it is equivalent to unlimited for us. Therefore, there is no need for us to spend more money to buy the Swamp hosting plan.
Hostgator's main business is Reseller hosting. The so-called Reseller is equivalent to what we call an agent in our country, but it is somewhat different from the agent we often talk about. Through HostGator's Reseller system, you can completely establish your own hosting sales company. As long as you don't say it, almost no one will know that the host you use is just HostGator's Reseller host. The lowest plan of HostGator's Reseller host is Aluminum, which has 24Gb space, 250Gb monthly traffic, and an annual price of US$24.95/month. This host plan is sold according to the President's professional host method. It can be calculated that 2,100 yuan should be paid to HostGator every year. You sell it at 500Mb/5G traffic per account, so you can sell 48 accounts. If one account is 120 yuan, then your annual income is 5,760 yuan. Excluding daily maintenance and emergencies, even if you use 660 yuan, you can still make a profit of 3,000 yuan. This profit margin is very large, so Reseller host has almost become the best choice for personal blog network entrepreneurship. Of course, this does not consider the problem of host IP being blocked and so on. The main site of this website | Crab Host | now specializes in selling professional blog hosting. Perhaps those friends who really need it can go and consult.
Reliability <br /> I think after reading what I wrote above, you should have a better understanding of HostGator’s reliability, right? If you don’t know yet, let me say it again, Hostgator can almost guarantee a 100% online rate. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma hit Florida, and Hostgator still guaranteed a 99.99% online rate during this high-risk period. Through this incident, you should believe in the capabilities of HostGator, right? If you still don't believe in its capabilities, you can also consult any of the more than 1.3 million customers who have used or are currently using HostGator hosts. It is almost impossible to find negative reviews about Hostgator, which shows the excellent performance of its hosts.
control Panel
Hostgator uses cPanel as the control panel of the virtual host. cPanel is a very powerful virtual host control and management software. Through it, you can easily add, delete, and modify domain name bindings, databases, mailing lists, etc. You can also upload, decompress, compress, and package files directly through the web page. In addition to its powerful functions, cPanel is also very simple and easy to use. In addition to the above functions, you can also use HostGator to expand the functions of cPanel and install programs such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, phpBB, Zen Cart, etc. with one click.
Customer Support <br /> They currently offer 24/7 phone support, online chat, fax and support forums, as well as multiple tutorial help flashes. Most customers find HostGator’s customer support to be very responsive and efficient, and most issues are resolved quickly. Online chat is the LivaChat customer service system, which has the convenience and speed of telephone support and the cost-free nature of email support. Therefore, this site strongly recommends that if you need any customer service during your use of Hostgator, it is best to choose LivaChat first.
Others <br /> Foreign countries are very particular about the rule of law. The government has very high requirements for virtual host providers, and they are all registered with the government. Therefore, host providers have strict requirements on the legality and copyright of websites. As long as the pictures or content are legal, they can be stored.
Many hosting providers, including Hostgator, say that as long as the images or content are legal, they can be stored. But the question is, to be honest, how much of our website content is legal? When we repost or grab articles, pictures and files, we unknowingly break the law.
And many of the articles say:
sale of spam software and adult CD, providing access for spam, and the sending of unsolicited e-mail to user's mailbox, using an e-mail address or domain that is maintained on our server…
This means that as long as the content of the advertising letter is linked to their host, or the domain in the advertising letter is placed on their host, they have the right to close your website without notice. But here's the question: To be fair, how much of our website content is legal? When we repost or grab articles, pictures and files, we unknowingly break the law. Therefore, there are still certain risks.
In addition, HostGator, because the content stored on its host is relatively open, its IP is often blocked by ISPs, causing the websites on the blocked servers to be inaccessible in China. Therefore, you should be careful when purchasing, and be sure to inquire in detail through livechat and other methods before purchasing. If the IP is blocked because other websites are implicated, then whether free server or IP replacement services can be provided... It is always better to think about things in advance than to always worry at the end.
