Host Gator cut monthly hosting expense by over 60%
Posted by: Fred Pineiro SEND TO FRIEND

Using Host Gator to create CaseStudyDatabase.com, instead of our other web host, saved time and money from the start.

CaseStudyDatabase.com is a website where people can research whether or not a product works before actually buying it. By reading case studies submitted by Contributors who’ve had success with the product, consumers not only find the confidence they need before making a purchase, they also find a proven approach that they can learn from.
THE CHALLENGE

It started when we purchased a server-side script (AdSpy Pro) that our web host couldn’t support. The software required a MySQL version of 4.1 and a PHP version of 4.0.2 or higher–both of which our web host had failed to provide. And when we emailed support to see if they would upgrade our server, several days went by without a response. Then somebody mentioned Host Gator as an alternative with an up-to-date server, and great customer service. For only $9.95/month we found the plan that we needed–and signed up immediately!
THE APPROACH

Our first priority was to get the script up and running. After logging into the control panel (or “cpanel”) and getting acquainted with its layout and features, we began installing the script. That led to a question about “cron jobs”; one that required a bit of help. Within seconds, we were in a chat session with Host Gator’s support team and getting answers to all of our questions. This was a feature that our other web host did not have. In fact, we were still waiting for them to respond to our first email.
Right off the bat, Host Gator instilled enough confidence in us to pursue our main business venture: CaseStudyDatabase.com. And even though we weren’t yet sure how to structure the site, one thing was certain… we weren’t on our own.
One of many features, Host Gator included “Fantastico” which allows users to auto-install various scripts on their server. We took advantage of this by trying out several different content managers before finally deciding on a Wordpress blog. While the other web host did have Fantastico running, the scripts that they included weren’t always up-to-date. And some of the scripts they offered didn’t even work!
THE RESULTS

Host Gator has allowed us to create a powerful website backed by top-notch LIVE support–for a lot less money. The other web host wanted $24.95 per month for sub-standard service. Our new Host Gator plan is only $9.95 per month–saving us over 60%. Not only that…their advanced systems significantly cut the time we would have wasted waiting for the other web host to respond! By the time they got back to us, we had already ...
