Hostgator is great. The only thing I don't like is when our traffic requirements increase, they will suspend you and tell you that you must switch to their more powerful, more expensive package. Quite normal, but the reason sometimes wasn't clear. Still love them though.

Thanks for the heads up about Safe Mode. That is a really generous offer of support. That really sweetens the deal since HostGator is such a great host.

Welshy, Support is key point here. When your site has some problems, people at hostgator will happily assist you. You can't expect that good support from WU. Another thing, if i don't want to continue at WU, I lose all my hosting accounts? Moving from one to another is always pain. So that's always true, site mush be hosted by professional hosting company only.

Right now I don't have any plans of using the hosting inside WA. Didn't know about the PHP Safe Mode issue but I'm glad I don't have to deal with it. Personally I think HostGator really eats up the competition. Thanks for this info on WA's hosting Welshy.

Ah, I’m glad you posted this. I was going to post something like this but now I don’t think I’ll bother. Do you mind if I link to this post from my livejournal? My visitors might like to read it too. Thanks, Victoria

Finding a hosting company is all about one that works for you. If you look up reviews for any web host online, you'll find both positive and negative ones. I would recommend picking a big one and sticking with it if it works for you.

Hi Samuel,

Well first off I personally use the BABY plan and that's what I would recommend to get started.

You can always upgrade the plan if needed.

In regards to the 3 things you listed, I'll try explain for you.

----------

1: Dedicated IP - This means you get your own IP, only websites that you create/add will be running on this IP.

With a baby plan it's a Shared IP, so you are sharing the IP with a few other people that have a BABY plan.

WA Hosting has ever single person sharing the same IP

2: Private SSL - I don't fully understand, it's related to having your own shopping cart and checkout (i think), but there are plenty of

other site like paypal, 2checkout etc that can safely and securely handle this part.

3: Toll-Free - A free toll-free number for your web site and business.

Minutes Included Per Month: 100 -- Additional Minutes: 4.9 Cents US 6.9 Cents CAN

-------

Let me know if you have any questions or jump on the Hostgator Live Chat.

Hi,
I am considering moving to Hostgator, most especially because I appreciate the help you provide via WA and directly.
But, before I proceed, which one would you recommend? Baby plan or the business plan?
Considering that the main difference between them is :
1. Free Dedicated IP for the business plan
2. Free Private SSL
3. Own Toll-Free

What are the functions of the 3 things listed above and what are their advantages?

Thanks.
Samuel.
