HOST GATOR - YES OR NO?

The title says it loud and clear, is host gator worth it? Should you recommend it to anyone and why?

For a small site sure, but for a site that's going to be getting a lot of traffic, or may have a lot of security problems..no.

Unless your site is getting like 50-125 members at a time, yes. If it more than 250, no.

So it's not good for big businesses?

It's good for starting up but once you get up to as much traffic as DZ has you'd be best off with a VPS.

Depends on the amount of traffic. What exactly do you mean by business?

Why is a VPS better there? I'm interested. Smile

I'd recommend them x100. Nothing bad to say about them.

They say "unlimited" but as you probably know it isn't true. They do offer dedicated servers and plans for high traffic sites, but I haven't tried those products myself. I can only speak for their shared hosting which was perfect.

A VPS will provide you with more freedom, it is your own server at that point. Instead of being on a server that is shared with other people, you get your own and so fourth.
