When I first started FrugalDad.com, I decided to go with HostGator as my host for a couple reasons.
Five HostGator Benefits
- I was a fan of several other blogs that used HostGator’s hosting service and their reviews were positive.
- HostGator offers a one-click WordPress installation, making blog setup a cinch.
- HostGator’s prices are highly competetive, and their starter package beats just about every other host out there.
- You can host unlimited blogs for one price.
- All shared hosting plans include a 99.9% uptime guarantee, 24/7 support and a 45-day money back guarantee.
After starting Frugal Dad I decided to branch out adding two more blogs to my account at HostGator (TipDad.com and SideHustleBlogging.com). Adding additional blogs was a breeze, but I did need a little guidance the first time. A quick message to their support chat service answered my question.
The “Swamp” package, which offers unlimited bandwidth, coupled with the WP-Super-Cache plugin has easily handled my high-traffic days, and smoothly handles 150k page views a month. When I was still fairly green at blog administration I accidentally deleted my theme files, but with assistance from HostGator I was able to restore all of my files.
If you are considering starting a blog, or are unhappy with your current host, I highly recommend you review the options available from HostGator for your blog hosting needs.
