    Why do people always say things are awesome in the first 5 minutes rather than after a couple of months when they actually know what its really like?

            Don't you pay per domain? You can get a dedicated plan to normally beat host gator once you add that may sites in.

                    Hostgator is one of the worst webhosts online. You get what you pay for. You will learn that soon. Hope you are not trying to run some scripts on your sites!

                          just hope they dont pull the plug on you and tell youto move to a dedicated server, they usally do that if the sites get too big.

                            host gator is great when they work and you dont need any support. and the only reason you need support is because they dont run their network properly so good luck

                              I moved to Hostgator after getting messed around with my previous host. I pay $15 per month, I've never had any problems, I can go to their live support 24 hours a day and they'll always help me out if there's anything I need. I have used their live support many times and they've got some proper web people there, not cheap fakes. 10 out of 10 from me

                                It's not a big deal, if you want to buy garbage instead of quality to save 10-15 bucks a month, good on you.

                                Don't complain once you get assfucked by them though. There is more horror stories around about them then a-plus.net.

                                  What kind of sites do you got running there? Most of mine are mainstream autoblogs but there are a few edgy sites that might get some traffic spikes, just curious

                                              Hostgator is great for a one site type solutions, add sites, add scripts and next thing you know things aren't working properly and you need to upgrade this and upgrade that. In 3 months with them, I have had to upgrade accounts 3 different times which all resulted in waiting for DNS to move over, and where I practically couldn't update my sites during that 24 hours.

                                              I have a site that is updated about 6 times a day by me, and it was a huge nightmare each time. Also when they upgraded my accounts, they downgraded some of my resources on things, so like one day I went without email, the list goes on and on. I think I FINALLY have everything stabilized over there for now, but I will not be upgrading again with them, when they request it this next time, I will be taking all of my sites and just moving.

                                              The hassle isn't worth it.

In 3 months with them, I have had to upgrade accounts 3 different times which all resulted in waiting for DNS to move over, and where I practically couldn't update my sites during that 24 hours.

                                                I have a site that is updated about 6 times a day by me, and it was a huge nightmare each time. Also when they upgraded my accounts, they downgraded some of my resources on things, so like one day I went without email, the list goes on and on. I think I FINALLY have everything stabilized over there for now, but I will not be upgrading again with them, when they request it this next time, I will be taking all of my sites and just moving.

                                                The hassle isn't worth it.
                                                Well obviously adding a site that gets 10k uniques a day t oa baby plan isnt going to work, especially if you are using something bloated like Wordpress

                                                  It's one site, WeHatePorn.com , it gets over 5,000 uniques a day and runs on Wordpress

                                                  The last host pulled the plug one day as they said I was using too much bandwidth

                                                      You can get in the same data center as Nat Net and their hosting isn't catered towards people that get 4 hits a day on their personal blog -- 3 of those hits from themselves.

                                                      Let's talk about how you have 200k a day in traffic and cannot justify the cost of a dedicated server. Maybe you should spend more time trying to monetize your traffic and less time ranting on GFY.

                                                                Hostgator are brilliant. I was with 3 different plans & ended up with a dedicated server that really rocked. Fast & efficiant with service similar.

                                                                Good for you & stick with them unless you want to step up to a 24/7 rocks on server with adult hosting

Their support is top notch and thier prices are good. I have never had downtime with them either. They went out of thier way to help me when one of my sites got hacked which was through a hole in the script. They even went as far as tracing they guys IP right down to what ISP he was using.

I pay $15 per month, I've never had any problems, I can go to their live support 24 hours a day and they'll always help me out if there's anything I need. I have used their live support many times and they've got some proper web people there, not cheap fakes. 10 out of 10 from me

                                                                            I spend over $1,500/month now..

I have a couple servers with them which I use for small sites, development and stuff like that and never had a problem, I needed support only once and I got an answer in like 5 minutes.
                                                                              However, I wouldn't use them for large sites, I'm a pretty realistic person and even though paying a couple bucks for my great mega tube sounds amazing, I know it will never work. But for what they're intended, they're perfect.

They total about 11,000 visitors a day and everything has been fine. Your post just made it sound like you had expectations of running a 200k network off one of their cheap plans without being kicked off or having the server feel sick.

                                                                                You can't say something is fantastic as if you are recommending it until you have actually had it for a while and it has done everything you wanted it to do.

                                                                                It's exactly the same as people who buy a new phone and go around telling everybody how great it is. It may be great forever or it may break in a week and really piss you off - not so great then after all.
