    Hi all

    I have a wordpress website that gets close to 300,000 pageviews per month. I am looking for a cheap and reliable webhost. GoDaddy and HostGator are two names I checking out for. Which one would you suggest?

    If you are replying with your experiences, also please let me know your traffic range so that I can make a better decision..

    Thanks

    I'd probably go with HostGator instead of GoDaddy.

    Go for HG coz they have more experience than GD..
    And the GD is using other control panel.

    I've used both and if I had to choose between them I would have to say Hostgator. It's more expensive, but better in general. Also, Godaddy's custom control panel honestly sucks.

    Hostgator will always be way better than godaddy when it comes to web hosting.

    I would go with Hostgator, are you planning on hosting it on a shared hosting plan?

    If you looking for shared host then hostweb also can meet your requirement.

    Thanks a lot guys..Have chosen a Baby plan with Spring discount..So came out to $95 for the year..Kinda expensive compared to my earlier host ($25 annual fee), but it is also an indication that my website is growing and so this is a good thing..
