    hi there

    I have not had personal use of hostgator but wuld advise you to check out

    www.hostmonster.com

    they have unlimited storage and bandwidth for about $7 a mointh

    there is verey little downtime and the cpanel is very easy to use

    anyway sorry for not answering your question directly but just wanted to give you some further options

    thanks

    I had no problems when I was using host gator, now I use dreamhost and would have to say the control panel interface is much better but dreamhost costs a little more than hostgator.

    You guys realize that cPanel is a brand name... they're all (except DreamHost) giving you the exact same control panel. They just sometimes buy a different skin for it.

    You can read 27 reviews customers have written about Host Gator (good and bad) here:

    I have used hostgator on two occasions - once for my personal website and once for the company I work for website.

    Both times hostgator provided outstanding support and service. The only compliant I have, when it came time to upgrade to a virtual private server, I had to leave hostgator. They either offer a shared package or a dedicated package, nothing in between. This was over a year ago that I had to move my personal website from hostgator, so they might have added new packages by now.

    Hostgator is wonderful, They have over 150 employees there to help there clients and constantly growing. Useto know the owners of Hostgator when they had offices in Boca Raton. Couple kids basically who own it. But they sure know exactly what they are doing

    bluehost and hostgator are the best for shared hosting.
