This is a section that I have created on this blog to give you my personal review of those tools that I am using for my blogging business just in case you are also looking for them. Do note that there are affiliate links on the tools that I recommend but I must emphasize that these are tools that I personally am still using at the moment.
There is nothing more important than web hosting service for an online business. Therefore I am going to recommend my web hosting service Hostgator which is what I am using for this blog as well as all my other niche blogs.
I did not start out with hostgator, in fact, I am with godaddy first. After reading a blog post on godaddy from one of the blogging guru, I decided to look for another web hosting service just in case I might face the same problem in future.

After looking around for sometime, I decided to go for Hostgator because of its excellent support. However I did not know how good it is at first as I have only read it from other reviews.
As I am not a technically sound person, I do not know how to transfer my domain from godaddy to hostgator and I do not know how to transfer my file as well.
I decided to send an email to the support team and I was amazed by the speed of their reply. The people are professional and is able to solve my technical problem within the email itself.
What actually made me a loyal customer with hostgator and make me sign up for a 24 months package is one incident that I have.
Everyday I will visit my website to take a look at it and there is this day where I saw a blank page on my website. This totally stun me and I decided to head to the hostgator website and do a live chat with the support staff.
After telling the technical staff my problem and my account detail, they find out that my website was hacked. As I am not a technical sound person and I started to worry about the expenses of getting someone to clean up my website and get it up for me.
What totally blew me off is the technical staff ask me for sometime as he will solve my problem for me and get the website up again. This is something that I did not expect them to do as it is not their problem.
Within 30 minutes, my website is up and running and I did not pay a single cent at all. From that moment onwards, I am a loyal customer of them and will always be.
Above is my personal experience with hostgator and that is why I will recommend them to you.
Below is some information about Hostgator
As for the hosting plan, they offer plan as cheap as $3.96 per month for unlimited disk space and bandwidth. If you have more than one website (domain), you will need to go for their baby plan which costs $6.36 per month.
If your business requires a toll free number, you can go for their business plan which is only $10.36 per month.
Another good thing about hostgator is the cpanel control that it is offering, it is user friendly and I have no problem using it. As all my websites are blogs, the fantastico feature is a great help for me. It will help me to setup wordpress with the click of a button.
In fact, there are more features in hostgator and you can visit their website to read them. What I am planning to share with you here is my personal experience with them.
