iPage vs HostGator

It is of course a difficult task to compare great players in the web hosting industry; both have an excellent reputation, experience and huge amount of good reviews from the customer side. If we review it separately, then it is however easy to list out what are all the advantages of hosting with a particular company. But, when it comes for comparison then it is however necessary to pick one good thing that is not found with another. In that view, if we start look between these companies then the very first thing that comes to our mind is that iPage is famous and providing only basic hosting plan or shared hosting plan. But, if we want any other hosting type, then you must go with HostGator who covers almost all needed types of hosting. Next, if we start comparing the pros and cons for shared web hosting particularly to make decision, then you can find iPage has single and unique plan that does not allow the people to confuse who comes for hosting their website in the datacenter of ipage. Unfortunately, iPage has no monthly plan to offer unlike hostgator. On the other hand, Hostgator has 3 different unique plans whose names and costs are Hatchling Plan ($4.95/mon), Baby Plan ($7.95/mon) and Business Plan ($12.95/mon).

As far as the basic features that are needed for normal website is concerned, both offer Disk Space, Data Transfer, Email Accounts & Domains in Unlimited, a free site builder tool, shopping carts, 24×7 support and green energy. There is no need doubt that both are well equipped with latest world class technology and this is obvious when look at the ratings provided for the features – especially Reliability. If you want a reliable web hosting provider for your website then both are best. But, when you want a hosting provider with reliable as well as low price then iPage is best. In addition, as said earlier there is no plan for subscribing for a month in iPage and so at that moment, you can choose HostGator to test their service and surprisingly iPage provides anytime money back guarantee whereas hostgator extended this guarantee for only 45 days. In the recent survey, the rate of monthly subscription is more for shared web hosting plan is high in both companies when compare with other competitive companies. Most of the webmasters and businesses have fully satisfied with either iPage or HostGator and so both are recommended for hosting but it should be noted that iPage appears to offer low cost hosting plan at this time.
