HostGator Alternatives: Web Hosting Company

TrustList summary

HostGator is a web hosting brand that sells shared hosting plans to individuals and small businesses. Its web hosting page lists four plans, named Hatchling, Baby, Business and Pro, which step up in capacity and features.

The plans are managed through cPanel, a common control panel for shared hosting, and longer subscription terms include a free domain for the first year. The page indicates that HostGator operates under Newfold Digital, a large US web services group that owns several hosting brands, which is a relevant fact for buyers comparing providers that share a parent company.

Shared hosting of this kind suits small sites, blogs and small business pages that do not need dedicated resources.

A separate Brazilian business trades as HostGator Brasil and is listed on its own, since it runs its own site and serves Portuguese-speaking customers.
