Hostgator Coupon and Promo Codes

Without knowing your website, and how many visitors it gets it is difficult to provide specific advice.

For shared web hosting, their Hatchling plan only allows one domain, and their Baby and Business plan offer unlimited domains. Their shared hosting should be sufficient to run WordPress, or other software that can be installed using their 1-click app installer. All plans come with unlimited disk space and bandwidth.

You can currently try out Hostgator Hosting for 1 cent when paying monthly, although after the first month if you wish to stay you might consider cancelling, and signing up again with one of the better long term discounts.

However, if you have a business or high traffic website (100,000+ page views per month) you may wish to consider their cloud hosting which is a lot faster, and is relatively cheap for what you get, starting at $4.95 for a single domain.

Furthermore, their cloud hosting comes with failover, meaning that if there is a hardware issue your site will be switched to another server.

While it is much better value to pay for such a long period in advance, you have to consider that hosting providers can change considerably over that time. While they may be good today, doesn’t mean they will be in two years time.

Furthermore, in a year, for example, you may wish to change provider to take advantage of new technologies or better support.
