Steven Johnson, Senior Editor at Joomla Hosting Reviews went into more detail about HostGator, “We have been able to rely on HostGator not only for ourselves but as a go-to hosting company recommendation for clients. Since we have had a positive experience over the years we look forward to using them for future websites and we feel comfortable using them.”

One reason Joomla Hosting Reviews enjoys hosting with HostGator is because of their expertise in server environments. Joomla Hosting Reviews run a lot of Joomla sites and the servers at HostGator work very well with it.

Additionally, HostGator has exceptional technical support. Since they are available twenty-four seven, it is very easy to get issues resolved. Steven Johnson noted that he rarely has to be elevated to a second level of tech support because of their ability to resolve issues.

HostGator helps those who are just beginning a website as well as those more experienced in hosting. HostGator has starter plans (known as ‘Hatchling Plan’ and ‘Baby Plan’) as well as Business, VPS, and dedicated server plans. Editor, Steven Johnson, said, “They use cPanel which is easy for people new to websites but also has lots of tools for experienced users to take advantage of.”

A few of the features provided by HostGator include: unlimited disk space, transfer, ftp accounts, and MySQL databases. All of the servers run the latest versions of php, MySQL, Ruby On Rails, SSH, Perl, Chilisoft ASP, Python, and more.
