    I've heard they are professional. I believe they are the using a simlar setup to Bluehost as their main site is on their network.

    I would do some searches of a few of the main hosting boards and see what people have to say about them. Never hurts to look around and see what is being said without asking and who knows what responses you will get.

    Yes. I've never used other hosting company before and since. I would give them 5 star! Whenever I called them I always speak to a human,knowledgeable, nice professionals without accent.I had the best costumer experience with hostgator ever. I called them 6-7 times in 1 year period.+ I'm not to techie so they have all the necessary support to host any kind of website.80% of professionals recommended them on average. Never had any technical issue with them.I would recommend them first to any of my friends and family!I heard good things about Bluehost and couple of others, but didn't use any of them yet. I hope that was helpful, good luck choosing a hosting company!

    I've been happy with them as well. They haven't let me know down yet and I've been with them for 3 yrs. What kind of website(s) are you looking to host?

    Hostgator of-course is trustable and provide good services too, for a beginner it is good option. you can have support from the online chat to resolve all your hosting problems and domain settings.

    Compared to what you will get, their prices are not that high.

    If you will like to host with them, you don't need to think twice.

    Try to gather as many reviews about its web hosting services (both positive and negative) and serve these as basis in choosing web host providers.

    I think their shared hosting would probably be reasonably good, but for VPS or anything more I would really look into a smaller and more personalized host... you just won't get very good support from HostGator or another huge company, most likely.

    Hostgator is a well known company with a lot of good reviews. If you want to go with them, i am sure you will not be disappointed[FONT=arial, sans-serif].[/FONT]

    Hostgator is well known company no doubt about that you can see lot of review about them. I assume that there are many options for your consideration hostome.com is one of them, using there service and very much happy.

    They are reputable and also deal with a lot customer support regularly. If you can afford it, then try it, they are established.

    Yeah, they are considered as Giant Web hosting provider. but I believe that it will be a good idea to contact them directly and get all the things cleared.
