    So I've been reading about making a website for a long time now. I think I'm finally gonna try it again.

    I was looking at hostgator packages, and the only real difference I see between hatchling and baby hosting is the amount of domain names.
    Hatchling can have 1 domain name.
    Baby can have unlimited domain names.

    My question is, what does that mean? I can have more than one website with baby?
    And only one website with hatchling? Can anyone explain? Do you have to buy two seperate hosting plans for 2 seperate websites?

    Yes, you can host only one domain with the hatchling plan, while unlimited domains with Baby plan.

    For example, you can host abc.com, def.com, xyz.com, cba.com and so on with Baby plan.
    But, only one domain like abc.com with hatchling plan.

    Also, you can upgrade from from Hatchling plan to Baby plan anytime you like. Just contact them on 24/7 live chat, phone or email.

    Your choice. All are good.

    Go for cheaper plans if you're just starting out.

    Out of the four you mentioned if you can afford HostGator's Baby plan use them if not I recommend Webhostinghub. Best of luck to you!

    You should always look for quality instead of cheap prices because "You get what you pay for".

    Also, test hosts support quality calmly before signing up by visiting them multiple times. Go with the most friendly and cooperative support.
