    I've had a dedicated server with hostgator for almost a year now. Very happy. Never used hostmonster.

    Just take note that Hostmoster is owned by Bluehost, so anything you see regarding them (good or bad) will also apply. The main negative seems to be constant issues with triggering a very strict CPU usage enforcement script on their servers, resulting in CPU Exceeded errors for your visitors.

    Hostmonster is cheaper, but hostgator has more flexibility. Have sites at both hosts

    HostGator..but believe me, you can find much nicer and better hosting deals on this forum than hostgator. I used em for a while and although there support is decent, they are over priced and have some issues

    Some of my sites are hosted at hostgator and I never had a problem within 6-7 months, so I suggest to go with them.

    You will be happy with the baby plan and you can always move up to the swamp as your sites grow and you develop more sites.
