    Hi friends,i'm lookin for a reliable shared webhosting company,

    My needs:
    Unlimited Space,
    Unlimited Domain ,
    Unlimited BW,

    all i going to do is host couple of wp blogs.

    I've searched and found Hostgator and bluehost,both offers same features in diff plans.

    Hostgator - 6.95$/month (baby plan )
    Bluehost - 3.95$/month .(for two year plan )

    SO which one do i have to go for, basically i'm from india,so i will be getting traffic from India,

    Which one you are using and which one you'd suggest me ?

    Thanks in advance!

    Neither are good if you get over 16K visitors per day, they block access to your site due to too much server resources being used.

    I'm using both of them. They are both good if you want to host a couple of WP blogs. However, none of them can offer you unlimited space / bandwidth. There is no such thing as unlimited.

    But you could go with e.g. Hostgator and if your website(s) become really big one day, you can then upgrade to a VPS plan.

    If you have only these options then i would like to suggest you hostgator. Hostgator is big name in hosting industry and i have seen good reviews about this company.

    No matter which you choose, I would never, ever suggest going with a host for 2 years without first trying them out. Try them out monthly for a few months, and if you are happy, then you could go for a year or two. Signing up blindly for 2 years without ever trying their services is probably not the best thing.

    I say go with Hostgator. I used them for a few years and they were the most promising. I've never tried Bluehost, but I have heard they're a decent host, maybe one of the best. And the cheaper prices could be a reason to go to them. But I'd try each one out and see which one works best for you.

    For a couple of WP blogs either web host will work for you well. I personally suggest you go with HostGator. I never had any problems hosting several wordpress blogs on my Baby plan.

    Unlimited specs doesn't really provide you unlimited. It's limited coz a lot will share the server.

    I have really good experience using hostdone.com web hosting services. The servers are smooth, and they're always on top of things, constantly updating the forums, answering any questions and making sure I'm happy.
    Check their cheap hosting plans. think that you will not regret.

    As it was mentioned above you are NOT going to find all of these unlimited. They do not exist and not to mention you are asking about a shared hosting account which puts you on a server with a ton of other shared accounts using all the same resources. Feed the fine print and/or TOS and you will see what they limit you too.

    Keep in mind you get what you pay for. Paying 2 years in advance with a company you are just starting to use is not a sound investment. You break their TOS 2 weeks into it for resource use and then what? your site is offline and you are in it for another 23 months. Ouch...

    ya they are gud but i have bad experience with hostagtor then i went to varyhost.com now im gud with it.

    they provide hosting features as you mentioned your needs 4.49USD(1 year plan)

    One thing that is exciting to me here is (free lifetime merchant account to accept credit cards online)

    Thank you

    Actually you will never get unlimited space or bandwidth.
    I have used both bluehost and hostgator. Among them, hostgator is better.

    Check in my signature.
