    I see the business plan of Hostgator here http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml and I am interesting to buy it...

    Any experience from Hostgator... Any comments? Is it reliable? I only know the brand so I like your comments if you can...

    Google it! There is so many questions and reviews about them, that a new thread is just waste of time.

    I have been very happy on their Baby plan since November. Blackhumor, what are you planning on hosting with them?

    Hostgator oversells their hosting pakages but their uptime is good. If you go with hostgator, i hope you won't get any problem.

    It is hard to say since I have seen someone shared their sad experience about Hostgator. One example is that they need two days to create an account for the baby plan.

    However, overall I like the Hostgator personally and I do have host with them. Their support is not that bad and would answer you within few hours.

    You can read more from those who have hosted with Hostgator here> http://www.getwebhosting.org/hosting.php

    Hostgator is great !
    I used their Silver Reseller plan to start off my company & my clients were really pleased !
    Hostgator resides in the "ThePlanet" Datacenter located in Houston, which is nothing but wonderful ! :)

    Enjoy !

    Not for me (11 minutes) but that could be because I live in the USA. It probably takes longer to verify and setup an account if you live outside of the USA.

    One of my friends tried to register, he lived out side of the USA. They didnt want to take his ordered until he sent proof or something like that he said, so he asked for a refund and they gave it to him and he searched for another host...

    Just my 2Cents
