Rated Number 3

One of Hostgator’s standout features is that it offers three different plans.  These include the Hatchling plan starting at $4.95, the baby plan starting at $7.95, and the Bussiness plan starting at $12.95.  Each of the next level have new features, but if you only need the basics you should look at each plan and decide which is best for you.

All plans come with many standard features such as unlimited disk space, a user friend control panel  (c-panel), unlimited sub domains and email accounts and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.  Every account has a 45 day money back guarantee as well.

Each hosting plan includes a free Sitebuilder and SiteStudio Website building tools which include 4,500 free website templates.  They also off 52 free scripts which can be added in just a few clicks.  These include PHP 5, Ruby on rails, Pearl, Python, Cron, Curl and many more which allow you to create a highly customized web site quickly and easily.

Hostgator also has fantastic E-mail hosting.  All levels include unlimited POP3 accounts.  Also included is web mail, e-mail aliases, auto responders, mailing lists and much more.  They appear to have one of the most comprehensive email systems for a hosting site to include for free I have found.

All Hostgator plans also have fantastico and the latest ersion of cPanel.  They also offer instant blogs, portals, PHPnuke, forums, guestbook, counter, and redirect URL just to name a few.

Hostgator also has ecommerce features if interested.  Here is where the three plans really differ.  For the hatchling level they have Shared SSL, osCommerce, Zencart, and cube art.  For the baby plan private SSL is allowed and you can have a dedicated IP for $2 per month.  For the business level private SSL is included, and dedicated IP is free.  To top it off they include a toll-free number.  All accounts receive a $100 Google Adwords credit upon signup.
