Bluehost vs Hostgator 🎯 2022 Web Host Comparison Review

how’s it going everybody welcome back and  one of the most essential tools in any small   business owner’s arsenal is their website a  fast well-maintained site can make or break   your website’s revenue the web host you choose  should provide speed security and support at a   price you can afford and when it comes to choosing  between bluehost and hostgator there are pros and   cons to both and this comparison today hopefully 
should help you decide which is suitable for your   needs bluehost and hostgator are dominant leaders  in the web hosting industry with a reputation for   low first-year rates free ssl certificates and  money-back guarantees while only hostgator has   an uptime and network guarantee both hosts  historically have at least 99.9 uptime both   web hosts are fast but bluehost is slightly  quicker and we’ll get into this in just a sec  
but before we get in if you guys are interested  in any of these web hosts you’ll find links to   pricing discounts in the description down below i  managed to get you guys a slight discount on both   so if you guys are interested be sure to check the  links in the description down below so typically   the price per month for uh bluehost would be  something around 295 a month again check the links   in the description for more for
further discounts  and with hostgator it is it starts at 275 a month   hostgator has a 45-day money-back guarantee  while bluehost has a 30-day money-back guarantee   they both have automatic backups but not on all  the plans only on some of the plans so be sure   to check your plan before confirming bluehost  is endorsed by uh wordpress while hostgator   isn’t in terms of free website migration you  will get that with hostgator with
both wordpress   and cpanel sites whereas with bluehost you only  get a temporary free website migration and only   on wordpress sites now bluehost offers three  categories of hosting shared vps and dedicated   each of these categories has several plans ranging  in price from 295 to 120 per month when you   commit to a full year you get the best price per  month compared to paying month to month for a 36   month term several hosts
price it this way so that  you have to renew after a year at a much higher   rate hostgator will migrate your wordpress or  cpanel site for free and bluehost is temporarily   offering free website migration for just wordpress  sites under 2 gigabytes otherwise professional   migration costs 150 hostgator supports both linux  and microsoft servers whereas bluehost only uses   linux servers thankfully not many sites require  microsoft
but if yours does you’ll have to choose   host gator one of the more significant complaints  from customers about bluehost is occasional   downtime which isn’t unheard of with shared  hosting companies there weren’t many complaints   about this with hostgator in comparison hostgator  does have several complaints about slow customer   support response although both hosts have 24 7  live chat support although both hosts have 24 7  
support and this support comes via phone email  and chat however only hostgator has an uptime   guarantee with its shared and reseller  accounts if a server doesn’t meet its 99.9   uptime guarantee you receive a month of credit  on your account a free month vps and dedicated   servers have a network guarantee which also  receive a prorated credit for the amount of time   the server was down wordpress endorses three web  hosts and one
of those includes bluehost that’s   not to say that hostgator doesn’t work well with  that’s not to say that hostgator doesn’t work well   with wordpress just that it considers bluehost to  be one of the best since 2005. bluehost provides   wordpress bluehost provides wordpress specific  training and support so it’s ideal for people   running their sites via wordpress in fact there’s  an entire community of support for your
platform   it’s important to regularly back up your site  if anything breaks and bluehost does that   automatically so you don’t have to no matter which  plan you have hostgator backs up your site using   codeguard but if not but not if you have a vps or  dedicated server and by the way this is what the   cpanel looks like for hostgator and this is what  it looks like for bluehost very similar so it all   comes down to personal
preference at the end of  the day both bluehost and hostgator have security   tools included in every plan ssl certificates  malware scans and distributed ddos protection   comes standard and both hosts use site log however  bluehost however bluehost’s sitelock includes spam   monitoring a site verification certificate  business verification and block list monitor   business sort of business verification and block  list monitoring
you can even set up notifications   to know when it blocks attacks if you want to  block ip addresses manually securing your website   is essential which is why ssl certificates  come standard with most web hosts with most   web hosts bluehost and hostgator included an ssl  certificate will help you and your customers an   ssl certificate will help an ssl certificate will  help protect both you and your customers during   online
transactions because it encrypts data  traveling between your computer and the server   now the bottom line is that either web host will  provide you with near perfect uptime 24 7 customer   support and security features your site needs now  i personally recommend bluehost if your site runs   on wordpress and i would recommend hostgator if  you need microsoft based servers but overall both   web hosting providers are actually quite
solid  me personally i do prefer the theme and layout   of bluehost i just find everything in bluehost  including the builder right here to be easier to   use easier on the eyes though they are both super  similar so keep that in mind it all comes down to   what you prefer and what you what extras you find  useful in their plans besides that if you have any   questions please feel free to drop them in the  comments down below and
keep in mind that you’ll   also find links to pricing and discounts and keep  in mind they’ll also find links to discounts in   the description down below that’ll further  just slightly discount your and keep in mind   that you’ll also find links to discounts in the  description down below which should help you save   a little bit more cash so be sure to check those  out and take advantage of them while they last uh   besides that
