Hosting news

Six months ago one of my clients asked me to set up some *cheap* US hosting for them. I didn’t have much time to research US hosts (try 20 minutes), and ended up going with HostGator simply on price – thinking that I’d take my time to do some research, and move my client to a better host at the end of the month…

Long story short – I didn’t bother. In fact, I ended up moving a few more accounts over to HostGator. I was expecting HostGator to be cheap and nasty, but so far, the up time and support (which I’ve used several times) has been as good as any other host that I’ve used in the last 10 years – but at less than half the price. I’ve now been hosting several of my clients’ domains (and a few of my own) with HostGator for nearly six months, and for the price, I couldn’t be happier.

Texas based megahosts Hostgator are now offering new ‘green’ hosting packages to offset the huge amount of servers they run. Unlike many other hosts that claim to be ‘green’, HostGator is using renewable energy to both power and cool their green servers. To celebrate their shift to green power, Hostgator are currently offering 20% off initial signups if you use the coupon code “GREEN”.
