Buy you have a lot of broken images in your signature. Now I am curious as to what those are pics of? Nudity?
I have reseller account at hostgator and like it so far. I keep all my domains registered at 1and1 for historical reasons.
Hostgator is very fast - faster than other shared hosters i tried.
At hostgator you can request dedicated IP for $2/mo which i think is pretty good deal.
They also give you SSH access for free - you just have to request it.
Although apparently for reseller account' domains each SSH request cost $10 one time fee.
Stay away from no-name shared hosters who sit on top of other hosters - people just buy reseller accounts and make themselves hosting providers "...since 1898".

I have heard that majority of the people use hostgator as their host and i looked at their pricingand its looks very good and reasonable aswell.
I want to know how hostgator is, and how has your experience been with them?
I hope to get some good replies so i can purchase hostgator hosting.
Thanks.
I've been using it for about 2 years with no problems, good price, excellent support. I couldn't imagine a better service.
" They are only good if you sign up here - otherwise they put you on bad servers"
HG has good servers ? Why didn't anyone tell me that before?

hostgator are the worst host in the world. They routinely put 10,000 plus sites on one fucking box, and keep billing you LONG after you've tried to cancel. They chisel their affiliates, and have way above industry downtime. Their support sucks the wild mambo, and they close down your account at even a HINT of a DCMA.
there's a reason why hostgator are so fucking cheap
They rely on spamming forums to drive traffic because they need massive turnover as hardly anyone lasts more than a few months with hostgator's shit service. This 'thread' can be found on every forum on teh web.
Seconf to hostgator are 'seekdotnet'. Think incompetence. think useless bastards. Think host somewhere else.
Then come godaddy in the scheme of crap hosts. They'll shut you off if you even have a fucking DREAM about a DCMA
rant over.

Personally, I'm going to say this. I've never complained about hostgator before, however with yesterday's factors in play... yeah.
I know it's routine to disable accounts with high MySQL/HTTP usage. Hell, that's completely normal. I did that when I was running my hosting company as well.
HOWEVER. Disabling -ALL- domains (20+) when theres only 3 domains doing the problems? -AND- they were runaway MySQL processes? Yeah, they're going to get a piece of my mind soon.
PS - Go with ZenSix. He knows his shit and has my full recommendation.

Hostgator
I was pissed at hostgator a week or so ago. Had a decent amount of expensive traffic being sent there only to reach a freakin 'maintenance page'! No email, no warning ahead of time. I understand scheduled maintenance windows, but ya gotta send some emails or post something on cpanel to make sure people know so they can atleast stop throwing money away... Maintenance pages don't convert very well.
Otherwise, all is well at hostgator, no other issues.

I've had a pretty bad experience with them...totally incompetent tech support. Not that I'd expect much for $5 but I used to have a dedicated with them. They are fuckups imo. But the way I see it with hosting is everyone is going to have a different experience with every host and for a $5 plan you really shouldn't have anything to complain about. You usually get what you pay for.
As for my hosting is good, however there are definitely glitches in billing or they simply cheat. I had account, all payments was done in time, then contract was over and some time passed. Well, I want to use them again, they said I owe them money, wtf ? Support said I paid all last time and I checked that in billing, anyway sooner or later they deleted old account and renew it again without bills. So I ordered again, just don't let them scum you. This case I will remeber for long time.
