    Which one would you go for and why?


    Other suggestion are appreciated. Preferably from reliable DP members who run successful websites.

    Thank you.

    I concur. DreamHost all the way. I appreciate their transparency with customers.

    No offence mate! But do some searching, there has been loads of these "Hostgator VS" and "Whos the best host" polls! Last one is a few days old... So not really necessary to re-post!

    Well they both are pretty good, the features offered by the two companies are essentially the same. The only thing is that BlueHost does not offer reseller or dedicated hosting. I've heard some good and bad from both of them but I would probably go with Hostgator, a friend of mine uses them and she says they are great and hasn't had any problems, of course there are probably others who think other wise. At the moment I'm hosted with Dreamhost and Connecthost and both have been great so far.

    You can try out Hostgator for one cent here and see if you like them.

    I think both of them are fine. I would probably prefer Hostgator, as you can pay monthly.

    Agree, do a simple search will find a lot.

    And it's almost meaningless to compare BlueHost with HostGator, the result is obvious. ;)
