When I moved my blog to wordpress, I installed it on a free web hosting provider. I thought its okay to rely on a free web hosting account and I’m not getting such traffic which will overload the server.
After starting the blog once again, lots of my friends started to complain me about getting an error message most often when they try to browse my blog. Now this is a serious matter because I have to keep my blog live 24 hours; becuase I’m using a free host, I can’t even complain.
Then I tried to search good web hosting solutions who accept paypal payments. I don’t have a credit card so I have to pay online with my paypal balance. I read a review about hostgator and give it a try. In hostgator, the first package gives you only one domain and website. If you add another $1, you’ll get unlimited domains and websites. That’s a fine plan for me, so I signed up for the service.
Over at the hostgator subscription page, I saw if I take the basic package, I have to pay additional $10 startup fee. But the second pack with unlimited domains doesn’t have a startup fee.
The support is excellent
The control panel is an easy one and I understood most of the functions of the site. Then I had to move my blog from the old host to the new one and then I faced problem. The problems were so much frustrating and I was unable to figure out what to do? I shoot a support ticket to hostgator and within minutes they replied with the solution! Now I like that!
So each time I get an error, or a problem, I simply write an email to the support and get an expert solution. After a while I was having problem with uploading images. I asked for help and the engineer asked for my login details. He fixed the problem from the root and now running my blog with no tension!
I have lots of blogs and websites
The package I got comes with unlimited websites and domains. I have around 6 blogs + sites running on hostgator and I can add more. The website and data storage is limited by inodes. There are 250,000 inodes available and each new wordpress blog takes 2500 inodes. This means I can have hundreds of blogs on this subscription.
Pay with paypal balance
Just as I said before, I choose hostgator because I’m only able to pay with paypal. You can pay monthly with your paypal balance to hostgator and enjoy the great service. You can also decide to pay in advance for a longer period.
Is it worth the investment?
Yes, hostgator is worth your money and I recommend you to get a subscription. If you’re from another host, they will help you move your sites to hostgator for free. There are unlimited email accounts, redirects, auto responders, domain forwarding and site builder. It has fantastico software which helps you install wordpress, joomla or other softwares.
All I have to pay is a little amount for this great service that holds all of my web assets. You can earn $8-10 with a paid review every month, so why not invest it to rebust your blogs? Go and get a pack at HostGator!

Hey Tamal have you tried the new byet hosting’s free host. I tried and I am quite impressed with their free services. they even provide free c-panel hosting like hosgator. And I am now using one of their free hosting for my blog http://smskotha.com. I hope to move a paid hosting like justhost someday. But now as it is a test drive for my blog. I choose byethost , because they are the best in the market in free hosting. You can’s even make the differences of free and paid at first look. So why don;t you write a review about them? Read my one here. http://smskotha.com/hosting-and-website-making-from-bangladesh/

Hey, Nice review. I have bought hosting from hostgator and have to pay by paypal balance as i too do not have a credit or debit card. Can u pay monthly for definate with your paypal balance? I was just going to give it a month to see if it would let me pay next month with my balance as i read somewhere that you can only pay a year in adavnce with your balance and that any monthly subscriptions had to be paid on your card thru paypal. Let me know.
Cheers
Hi you can buy + pay monthly through paypal and its a manual payment; I see there is no option to add a credit card, I asked and they said they can do it for me and it will make the process automated.
Great post. After using a number of other web hosts, I have switched my sites over to host gator. They are wonderfull and offer great support. I still use GoDaddy to register my domains. I believe it is wise to isolate your domain registrar from you hosting provider.
