HostGator is cheap and will host your website and the users of your email. However, we did run into some issues over the years. They sold us SiteLock, which is supposed to be an extra layer of security. We had it for a while, when our site was hacked. When I called HostGator they said that the SiteLock plan we had wasn't the right one to protect you, so they tried to upsell me on more SiteLock. This was very frustrating, as our site was down due to hacking and we were seen as a sales opportunity instead of clients who needed help. It turned out during this time that the basic backup that was included with HostGator was not going to work to get us back up. The problem is that it backs up once per week, and overwrites whatever was there before. So, it had backed up after the hack. After that we decided to get their premium backup plan. HostGator is good if you only need the most basic of services, unless you are willing to pay for the add-ons, and you might not even be aware of the add-ons until there's a problem.
AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting is always responsive to questions and they have a great Knowledge Base that can be tapped for finding self-help! Their email setup could be a bit easier to follow but then that may be just my inexperience.
Tech support is responsive and helpful, but not without a special pin code. Since we need tech support infrequently when I do, I can never find that pin. It would be nice to have a quick client verification system.
Publishing updated pages are quick but could be faster by eliminating a couple of extraneous click.
I guess their hosting service can be faster. Our websites load pretty quickly, especially after applying Accuwebhosting.com optimization tips, but we are not up to the highest speed yet. Again, it might be that we need to work more on our optimization.
Because we have in house technical support to compensate the lack of quality HostGator tech support, and because the price continues to be affordable the business is likely to continue using HostGator. They provide what the business needs and we have in house support to maintain it.
I've been using AccuWeb hosting for many months now. Never noticed any downtime yet. Speed is good & support is great. Would recommend anyone to give them a try, you won't be disappointed. If you want a free WordPress host to start your online presence.
The speed at which Accuweb processes information is high. I never had any issues surfing my websites neither do my site visitors. The website templates are very easy to use and well organized. I would recommend Accuweb to anyone who desires a professional website that is user-friendly. I host my dirt racing website on Accuweb and it runs flawlessly with no issues whatsoever. I have not had any downtime do to Accuwebs servers and highly recommend anyone looking for a good reliable webhost to give them a try.
While you will get support from HostGator, it seems to be a different level from 8-10 years ago. It may take 15-20 minutes to get someone on chat, and unless you follow up, I've found followup email support to take a couple of days. If you stick with it, though, you will get support, and I've never had a problem they couldn't help with.

This is for web design purposes. In versatility, not as good as WordPress, but pretty close to Squarespace and Wix. In ease of use, much easier than WordPress, about the same as Squarespace and Wix. In the choice of design templates, as good as all three. The current client chose HostGator after we poured through hosting, email, and web design comparisons. She wanted all these services through the least number of vendors, and the price was right.
I had to pay for Namecheap but accuwebhosting.com has been free for me. I will say the migration from the Namecheap site to accuwebhosting was not elegant, and I therefore I decided to rebuild the entire site from scratch. Both hosting sites worded fine for our purposes - our site is not very sophisticated so I don't think we stressed the hosting companies.
We've seen an estimated increase of about 25% website visits since we started using Accuwebhosting.com. We attribute this to improvements in our search engine rankings, which has come from the improved page load times and applying the tips we've picked up from their emails and blog.
We've seen a marked increase in inquiries from potential clients since we started using Accuwebhosting.com services, which we attribute to their very reliable email services.
