I am going to be posting on Mondays different resources that have been helpful to me in my business. I know when you’re starting a business, it’s hard to know what you need, and further still, what are GOOD resources and worth your money. So stay tuned….
Today I want to talk about hostgator web hosting. When you have a website, you need a hosting company in order to get your site on the web. That’s what Hostgator does. I am not going to pretend to know the technacalities of web hosting – I’ll leave that to the web companies. But I do know when a company provides good service and keeps your frustration to a minimum. And that’s what I have found with Hostgator web hosting.
They offer 24/7 phone support (very important) and when you call, you may have to wait a few minutes. But compared to my previous company, where everytime I called, I waited at least 45 minutes to speak to someone, it is GREAT! Their technicians are courteous and helpful.
They also have a 99.9% uptime guarantee which is essential if you’re doing business on the web.
Last, but not least by any means, they have a cpanel with Fantastico (don’t worry if this sounds like Greek – it did to me too.) Fantastico allows you to create a WordPress blog (free) on your website in just a few minutes. The process is made VERY EASY with this feature.
You can try Hostgator, and if you’re not happy with it, you have a 45 day money back guarantee. They offer three different hosting plans. I went with the middle one (it’s called baby) and it’s more everything I need. I pay $7.95/month which is a great price for all you get.

You find so many wonderful resources for small business owners. A wonderful help especially in this difficult economy. Makes being an entrepreneur so much easier! Thank you Laurie!
