HostGator VS Doteasy

    Would anyone care to compare the two, for their $9.95/month plans?

    I use hostgator ($9.95/month) for one web site, and doteasy (free) for another. Doteasy are offering 6 months at a discount for thier $9.95 plan and was wondering if they are better than Hostgator.

    For me the main things to look for are flexibility, creativity, service and reliability.

    if you are using them, you should know as chowbow said above but my vote goes for hostgator. :)
    also hostgator offers unlimited databases as compared to doteasy's 100 MySQL Databases

    Back at 2002-03 I used DotEasy, don't like them. I used hostgator at 2005, liked them but they "kicked me" for using too many server resources.

    HostGator seems reliable and affordable.

    Check for user reviews on the last site in my sig.

    Hi,

    I also use Hostgator and loving it. I have had one incident where a script used too many resources.. now I'm a bit scared to get "kicked". Anyone have suggestions for other hosters with the same price/feature level (at least unlimited domains)?

    thanks

    Dreamhost but I heard they are crap(really awful). I would just upgrade your account with them if you are using too many resources to the semi dedicated.

    I'd say HostGator. I haven't heard of DotEasy either; is it legit? All these hosting companies keep popping out of nowhere, lol.
