Hostgator or Godaddy?

[Linuxftw]

Anyone have any advice on this one, or can anyone suggest any alternate hosting companies that allow unlimited hosting of sites, good uptime, and free add ons like wordpress?

[GHST]

There are tons, seriously. Do not host with godaddy or anyone that gives you unlimited bandwidth.

If I had to choose between the two, HostGator... I ran one of my sites there just fine until recently, then moved to URLJet and upgraded to a VPS. Only use GoDaddy for domains or dedicated hosting if any imo.

If I had to choose between the two....I wouldn't choose either of them!

@hawk2, it is obvious from that info that this site used godaddy to register the domain name, not host the site lol

[Hawk2]

i never said it did I was talking about the domain should of make that clear in my other post

[Loco.M]

whatever you do, do not go with godaddy for HOSTING..

cheers

This thread is about hosting, not domain registration. vB does not use GoDaddy as a host and it is misleading to suggest it does which is why I corrected you.

From experience I agree with this 100%. Cirtex was also a bad experience for me. Now I have a dedicated server through Server Beach and life is good but it's quite a bit more expensive and took a little education. Worth it though and I have enough traffic that advertising revenue is paying for the server plus a little profit already.
