For most people searching for a good web host provider can become quite a headache. It was for me as well at first when I started doing business on the Internet. I was looking for a reliable company with a strong foundation and reputation. I did not want to sign up with a company only to have it go down the tubes and then I would have to worry about transfering all my domains to another company.

So I really did not want to deal with that problem. I came across Host Gator as a recommendation from one of my good friends who has been using their services for several years. I also did my own research on the company itself and found many positive factors that helped me make my decision.

To be quite honest I was a little put off by the name of the company "Host Gator". Well I thought maybe they are located in Florida but I found out instead that they are based in Texas. So go figure, but I gave Host Gator a try anyway since my friend's recommendations are highly trustworthy.

Besides Host Gator offers a 45 day money back guarantee so I decided to give it a test drive since I wouldn't be losing any money over it. 45 days was plenty of enough time for me to thoroughly put Host Gator against my standards.

So I went ahead and signed up for a 3 year service plan which has me paying $7.95 US dollars a month. If I was paying monthly it would have cost me $9.95 a month. The price I pay included unlimited Domains allowed with 600gb Disk Space and 6,000gb worth of bandwidth and a lot of other value packed features

All the included specifications for my account was a bit of an overkill for my kind of business on the Internet but I know some day I will expand and I will need more memory and bandwidth. It helps that it wasn't rough on my budget either. Too much is never enough. So the value for the price I am paying is well worth it especially all the functions that I am able to add on to my websites, such as Chat, Shopping Carts and Bulletin Boards. You can set up emails with auto responders and just so much more.

Another great function Host Gator provides is "Website and FTP Reports". What this does is basically generate a report on the amount of visitors hitting your website for all of your individual domains. This function and its reports are crucial to anyone who is running an Internet business. Without proper visitor reports to your site you are basically running blind without knowing how many visitors are viewing your website.

Now if you are worried about putting your website on the Internet because you do not know anything about web side server technology then don't worry especially if you are planning on signing up with Host Gator.

Host Gator has one of the best customer support services. I say this because I have used them quite often because I am one of those people who do not know anything about FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and anything else to do with server side technology. All this is basically about uploading your website files to Gator Host servers so that the rest of the world can view your website.

And believe me I am one lazy person and I didn't want to look up any information at all. So whatever issues I have I either call customer support or use the live chat service offered at Gator Host. I am pleasantly surprised that each time I call or chat with someone at Gator Host I never had to wait more than five minutes.

And the tech supports were so patient to the point I felt bad. I felt like I was getting on their nerves but who cares right, I'm paying them for it.

But seriously this is one of the major reasons why I highly recommend Host Gator. I have been a customer of theirs for 7 months so far and not one time I have any issues to report to you. So all I can say is I highly recommend this great service and budget friendly web hosting company.
