    Is Hostgator good for a small business Wordpress based website with maybe 2-300 pages and web2.0 features?

    I hear HostGator sucks. I love DreamHost, though.

    I wouldn't recommend hostgator.
    Their server speed is slow and the load is high.

    Have great experiences both with Hostgator and Hostmonster

    One advantage of hostgator is that adult sites are allowed to be hosted ( which is not the case with many leading web hosts )

    I can also say that my hostgator experience is positive. I don't have a huge number of sites on there, but I haven't had problems, and have been pleased enough with their support.

    I've used Hostgator for almost 3 years now. So far, have no big problem with them and their support is also fantastic.

    They have thousands of happy customers. But some of their reviews are not good enough. That means they just can't be good for everyone.

    According to me Hostgator will be good for you for a small business. Because you can get discount by using Coupon codes.

    i've been hosting with hostgator for a year, and i have had no problems with them. they even gave me an average speed of 300kbps whenever i download my backup files from the server. my combined web traffic tops 150gb per month, and their server still offer me pretty good response time
