Hosting: Hostgator 1 – Powweb 0
I’m going to make a comparison very fast and simple, where you will see that there is no color between the two companies that offer a similar price, but one is light years away from the other, and I know why I say this.
If you are looking for unlimited domains, unlimited transfer and good price, after reading this you will know what company is better.
Recently I have had my PHP webpages hosted on a server (Apache) at home. I have zillions of gigabytes of space and unlimited transfer in Powweb, paying about $90 a year, to host the projects NiiMe and PyNoki, becaus I didn’t want to exceed my monthly transfer with NiiMe downloads.
But with PHP pages on Powweb the horror began… the pages take from 7 to 20 seconds to start loading, was terribly slow. I contacted support and they told me that everything was going well. So I migrate the PHP webpages to the web server that I have in my home.
Tired of all this, I tried with HostGator…
Hostgator has a great control panel. In addition I contacted support because a Python script that I wanted to run on the server didn’t work, and within hours they changed the configuration of the server and the script worked. Customer care system by “chat” is simply great.
Web sites load at very good speed, in fact this page is loaded from Hostgator. So if you are looking for a very good, very nice and very cheap hosting, no doubt, test Hostgator. And no, they haven’t paid me for saying this xD
Regardless, the aligator eats Powweb. Ñam Ñam … :)
