Host Gator is a different breed of web host. From its lack of a contract (unlike most places which have a 1 year minimum) and unusual features like a free toll-free number on higher-end accounts, Host Gator has claimed a large market with what sets it apart.

Host Gator also has a range of options available as well. It has a small hosting account, called "Hatchling" which is great for small businesses which just need a web presence, all the way up to the very beefy Business plan, which is really best for multi-site developers. (Host Gator also offers dedicated and virtual dedicated servers as well for extremely busy sites or ones where you need greater control over your server.)

Now - down the the main features. Host Gator offers unlimited disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, and domain hosting on most accounts. It also offers support for PHP, MySQL, and Perl, and provides the popular, easy to use CPanel interface. It provides for free the Fantastico offering, which allows for one click installation of dozens of awesome features to your web site, such as WordPress and phpBB. HostGator also purchases renewable energy credits, which offset its energy use with green power.

Get all this, plus a 45-day money back guarantee, with your purchase. Your account will be set up instantly as well
