HostGator Review

About HostGator • http://www.hostgator.com

HostGator has snapped up 2,200,000 hosting web domains from small beginnings in founder Brent Oxley’s university dorm room in 2002. The company is currently based in Houston, Texas. To give some idea of the company’s size, more than 7,000 web and email managed servers power about 1% of the world’s internet traffic. HostGator boasts about 250,000 customers across 170 countries worldwide.

Befitting a company ranking as one of the world’s leading web services providers, HostGator has a full range of features available to customers. Developers can build sites and web applications in ASP, PHP, Ruby on Rails including streaming video and music. The huge resources at your disposal make planning to upgrade to a larger web host unnecessary, as few business or organisations will grow to find the technical specification of the operation restrictive with the scalability available.
