Hostinger VS HostGator | Best web hosting that won't break the bank

Hey, I like the video very informative thank you

Excellant information

Hostgator renewal is now $21.99

I bought a yearly plan for host gator, but it had some hidden charges inside like sitelock. Overall im happy since i got the cheap 36 month plan and i also get free storage

Ive been a 6 year customer. Suddenly out of the blue after buying a few domain names my account was locked as suspicious activity. I had to fight with them and send them my id, bank statements and debt card! I was so pissed. I was verified but now 3 weeks later my automatic plan renewal was blocked because the idiots in billing did not remove the block in their system - so now ALL OF MY WEBSITES AND CLIENTS are suspended and cannotbe accessed due to hostgator's incompetence!

They used to be good but now THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!!!

Hostinger offers cpanel and hpanel (their panel) cpanel Costs a dollar more but it has way more crap

I just purchased a Hostgator account based on your reviews (thank you for the time and effort on the video).

Just an update Hostgator no longer offers a free website building for shared webhosting. From their site: Website Builder is unavailable on new Shared (SW) accounts; however, WordPress is an excellent alternative to these builders. The instructions on how to install WordPress are discussed in the article: How to Install WordPress With Softaculous.

I called support and they verified they no longer give a free website builder. This is pretty game changing since it was the only reason why I chose Hostgator from the review - I wanted a simple easy website builder that wasn't wordpress. I'll switch to hostinger - thanks for the video.

Well, you asked for personal experiences with either or both of these providers. I've been with HostGator for several years with their hosting my domain and a small website along with my domain e-mail, and since last year a small blog on a second domain. First of all, you can't reach anyone in the company beyond Level 1 Technical Support. That becomes a very serious problem if there are numerous or repetitive issues, and over the several years I've been with HostGator, that's a very big problem. Numerous problems, from Level 1 Support treating me like a corporate client, when I am a single individual with a technical background but little in backend server or Internet domain expertise. That often translated into a mild disdain of my slow understanding of things when I first was setting up my webpage, which is very small and for the benefit of family and friends. Other Support Level 1 staff were friendlier and that split-personality quality of dealing with HostGator Support became a true dread.

Secondly, e-mail became an issue in that I've used multiple clients for e-mail over the years with most experiencing connectivity issues or failed e-mail service comletely. In recent years when e-mail service stopped, I've heard everything from reset the user's e-mail account password (with no explanation of why that was suddenly necessary...server upgrade, perhaps) to reinstall the e-mail client to renaming the e-mail servers in the client configuration, again without explanation of cause or change. Not having had e-mail for nearly a month now, and with two tickets escalated to Level 2 Support, I was told that my DNS Server needed an MX record to redirect mail to the correct mail server, and then I was told that my e-mail servers were incorrect when they were designated in a Support call months ago. With no e-mail available and no resolution in sight, I was instructed to move to HostGator's webmail, which after a week or more also quit receiving messages, eliminating e-mail from my domain completely. Level 1 Support trouble shot my account and configuration for an hour and a half, finally admitting failure and generating my latest ticket with an ALTERNATE g-mail account for Level 2 communications to me about the problem. This was 3/23, and as of today, 3/29, after not hearing from Level 2 Support, I called Level 1 again and after a long hold was told they had responded to me. I asked what e-mail address they had used, and the Level 1 technician stated my normal domain e-mail address...the one that is failing completely and about whom the ticket was about. I practically yelled at the Level 1 tech, demanding to speak to a supervisor. He said that wasn't possible due to the supervisor being in a meeting. I then described the weeks of problems and lack of e-mail I'd experienced and how unprofessionally I'd been treated and that I expected a call back from a supervisor as soon as possible. Again, he said that he couldn't guarantee that. As a matter of fact, there is NO WAY to speak to anyone directly about a problem in how the company is handling your account and business, period. At this point, I'm quite sure that I have lost my website, since I've realized that they no longer offer the website builder in which I originally created my website.

So, I would be very careful about how positive you are regarding HostGator. I doubt I am the exception.

use hostgator and do not use hostinger. hostinger are horrible. they waste my money, time and also I lost my client. Stay away from this site

He’s not being completely honest bro he sponsored

This was a great review video, straight facts and no redundant fluff. Hostinger now has an all-inclusive plan with web builder for even less and is way cheaper than Hostgator.. In my research I found Hostgator support to also just post links and basically seem like their reading script. I prefer phone support but find myself chatting due not understanding their accents.

This is so jam packed with great info!! Love this and thank you

Really?? Because I found HostGator support to be the worst. Their live chat was not working and I never got any answers to my question.

Best review ever.

Thanks, great stuff!

I think you might have misspoke at 20 seconds into the video. I thought the Hatchling plan was under shared hosting not WordPress hosting. Great video though!

Exactly what I needed to know. This video deserves many more views

Thank you !!

Awesome! Pretty valuable comparison.
