Also try to buy local, this is always better for your community and helps spread money around. This is much better then giving it to corporate scams.
Yeah, better to buy $300 jeans from a local "seamstress" than to buy Levis. LOL]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-how-is-hostgator-as-a-web-host-23062958 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:45:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-how-is-hostgator-as-a-web-host-23061156

IMO, you would have been fine with your own VPS....

Long story short, I ended up leaving HostGator. Most of my issues I did go over theirh ead directly to Brent whom owns HostGator. If you want anything done right, I would highly recommend you email Brent Oxley directly.

I called them back, and the nice tech helped me find the script that was doing the mass-mailing. I promptly removed it, considering he said it had done over 20,000 e-mails in the past couple hours or something along those lines (It might not have been that high, but I can't remember.)

I later modified the script to simply write everything that was sent out to a txt file along with the posters IP address (Disabled the actual mail() function, so to the end user it seemed like it was still spitting out e-mails), then put it back online. Within 2 days I got about 100 IP addresses that were trying to use it, I banned them from all my websites using htaccess, along with from my own personal server as to never have to deal with them again. I've seen them trying to access occasionally, so they are stupid enough to keep using their same IP's. ;)

Anyway, I enjoy Hostgator for my current needs. And anything heavy I program in PHP, I simply run on my own server at home.

I'd recommend them without a problem.

I canceled my account last fall but they still hold my domain name hostage for some reason.

That said it depends on what you want to use them for. You get what you pay for. I am always amazed by people that try to get this cheap hosting and then run a major business with it. If you were going to run a taxi service would buy the cheapest car you could find? No. You would buy the best heavy duty car you could find because your business will depend on it. Buying cheap hosting and then running a business is the same thing. Its like buying a cheap car and then being surprised when it breaks down when you run it 14 hrs a day every single day and put hundreds of miles on it.

So far (years) they have been great for my small club site with few users. A great deal if you have a small site and cost is the major factor. Good bang for the buck.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-how-is-hostgator-as-a-web-host-22706153 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:44:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-how-is-hostgator-as-a-web-host-22704758
I would watch out in that blog though, all of his links are affiliate links, that's probably why the blogger is praising them so much, to get more affiliate links/sign ups under his name.
