    I want to create new website based on wordpress. I heard that blue host is best hosting site for wordpress and i can register free domain name (without go daddy). BUt everyone in web(after i google) seems more attracted to hostgator. can somebody explain it to me??? In host gator there are too many packages i really confused but in bluehost it seems simple. PLs share your opinion especially to those who use bluehost. thank you very much

    Both are fine if you don't mind with them being an overseller and they also have a nice price too.

    I'm using Hostgator for 2++ years now and they do have great support. The pros for Hostgator is that they leaves you with more options if your site grow beyond a shared hosting plan.

    They Recommend it because they are affiliated same as their overpriced Domain names Hostgator's cpanel is like walking into your friends place they are there and ready to chat with you. They have fantastico so a wordpress install is easy

    well i think i know what bluehost lack. after some googling I found it don't have VPS (correct me if i am wrong) so if your web getting bigger it suggest you to change host.
    My new question is if i am migrate from bluehost to hostgator will it be alright( no hard about moving all content). And when create web site using bluehost you get free domain name. How we manage it ( are they use godaddy too?). sorry for asking too much. Thank you very much

    I would suggest picking hostgator from the two companies you've listed.
