Choosing a Host

15/15

It is important to do research into hosting sites to make sure you know what you are paying for and what functions that apply with that hosting with web builders and what not. Some provide more features than other. I looked into hostgator.com for my hosting services and found the following...


1-2. What is the monthly cost for your host? What is the minimum number of months required for the price stated? The monthly cost for hostgator.com depends on how long you want to stay with them and also the type of hosting that you want to have which can make your price go from about $3.96 a month with a 3 year service on the cheapest plan or if you go month to month it is $7.16.  The most expensive plan is $11.96 per month for the highest plan going month to month.3. Is the domain name included? The first domain on the cheapest plans allows one included or it you buy the higher package deal you can get unlimited. 
4. Is there an AdWords Credit amount?With hostgator.com you get $100 credit of AdWords with Google.
5. What type of support do they offer?  Local? Phone? Email only? Etc.   They offer phone and email but limited to what type of hosting plan you go with.
6. Will the host easily support your chosen site builder? What site builder did you choose? Gatorhost.com will support the site builder that I plan to use and that is going to be word press.
