HostGator Review

Premium web hosting with 25% Discount (coupon "Get25Promo")! Or try it for only $0.01 for the first month (coupon code "HostingCepe")! HostGator is the "100% no regret" host.

HostGator was founded in early 2002 in Boca Raton, Florida by Brent Oxley. It was started in his dorm room in college. Brent dropped out of college to pursue HostGator full time, and now its gone from a few dozen customers to over 225,000! This site is proudly hosted by HostGator for many years! HostGator is what I call the "100% no regret" host.

HostGator was ranked by Inc. Magazine in 2009 to be the #239 fastest growing private company in America, #6 out of all businesses in the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown area of Texas, and #20 in HostGator's category of Business Products & Services across the country.

HostGator is the 237th most visited sites in the world and 125th in the United States according to Alexa! It is definitely one of the largest full scale web hosting providers in the world.

There are many coupon codes with different names but all of them provides either a 25% discount for the initial order or the first month for $0.01. Use the 25% off coupon if you are signing up for 12 months and above. Use the first month free coupon if you plan to pay month to month. Remember you can always get a prorated refund for your unused portion so in no way you are being locked to any contract.

Get25Promo Recommended! - 25% discount for initial order

HostingCepe - First month for 1 cent only
This coupon look good but is not recommended because you can always get prorated refund back when you want to leave. 1 month free is equal to only 8% discount in a year! It is very obvious why you should use the 25% coupon instead. More explanation on money back and refund later.

There are also some 20% discount coupons available (published in their website as "best value" coupon, lol). It is not the best value, the 25% is!

Conclusion

The pricing might seems a little bit expensive but with the 25% discount coupon, it becomes very reasonable comparing to the premium service quality you are getting.

Of course, many people will still prefer cheaper hosting with similar features. You may want to look at iPage in that case which cost only $4.50/month for a minimum contract of 12 months ($54/year).
