    I am a web designer. I am going to build couple of sites. one for my portfolio and another one to offer freebies.

    After a small research, I decided to buy Hostgator or bluehost. However, i am confused which one I have to choose.

    Can someone help me out to choose the best one ?

    Thank you :)

    I've never tried Bluehost, and Hostgator is about the best you can get with shared hosting, unless...

    If you spend the time and effort to (waste money) on a variety of "fly-by-night" (unprofessional) hosts, then you will eventually find several which are amazingly great. :)

    Both are great hosts and can handle what you are describing so either way you'll be fine.
