how's it going guys welcome back and a quick video today i just wanted to kind of compare siteground
and hostgator as two of the most popular web hosting services out there okay before we begin
if you guys are interested in any of these web hosting services be it hostgator or siteground
i managed to get you guys some discounts that you can benefit off of so that you can save a
little bit more cash so be sure to check those in the description down below you'll find them
down in the description if at any point you are interested now both sideground and hostgator are
wildly popular web hosts with solid features and a proven track record which web host suits you
depends on your needs siteground is best suited for people who want an eco-friendly host and
a fast site and hostgator is best for those who need a virtual private server or prefer a host to
accommodate all stages of site growth i broke down both hosting services to help you decide the best
one for your needs now hostgator and siteground are similar in that they have reasonable pricing
they offer discounts for signing a contract and have over 99 uptime with both you can expect to
pay more if you pay month to month but they each offer money back guarantees hostgator has a wide
range of plans designed to accommodate your site as it grows and even has a dedicated server plan
siteground offers three tiers designed to support up to an average of 400 000 page views per month
once you exceed that amount you'll need a more robust plan now keep in
mind that we're talking about web hosting here so shared web hosting specifically
if you're looking for vps hosting you won't find that with siteground but you will find it
with hostgator and with hostgator you do get a 45 day money back guarantee rather than sitegrounds
uh 30-day money-back guarantee you get e-commerce hosting with both the storage included with basic
hosting is definitely less with siteground you get 10 gigabytes with a siteground and you get 50 with
hostgator so if that's something you're into be sure to check uh siteground so if that's something
that you're looking out for then siteground may not be the choice and hostgator may be a little
bit of a better choice but let's get straight into it the lowest price you'll pay for site ground per
month is 399 and 275 for hostgator however these prices are discounted rates only provided during
your first term and reflect rates based on an annual purchase paid in advance hostgator gives
the most significant discount on its 36 month contract whereas siteground's best price per
month is based on a 12 month contract both plans have regular higher prices on subsequent invoices
none of these web hosts offer free hosting but there is a money back guarantee should you not
like the service site grounds guarantee period again is 30 days while hostgators is 45 days
each host provides free unlimited email accounts that you can access from anywhere with an inherent
connection you'll find both hosts have good reviews too with some caveats of course now
you may have noticed that in some reviews how they mentioned that hostgator's sites were hacked
without detection or notification from the host at all now sitegrounds negative reviews centered
around lengthy wait times for support and no support access via phone whatsoever sideground
provides 10 gigabytes of storage with its base plan whereas hostgator storage is 50 gigabytes
the maximum storage on sitegrounds plans is 40 gigabytes whereas with hostgator you have
unlimited storage with its plans inside ground is slightly faster than hostgator thanks to its free
content delivery network or otherwise known as cdn siteground offers either shared hosting or
dedicated server but nothing in between if you need a virtual private server or vps consider
hostgator instead um you want to run multiple sites under one account the only stipulation is
that it is for usual and customer usage for a small operation meaning you cannot mine
crypto with it so keep that in mind if that's what you're after you're not going to exactly find it
here hostgator doesn't call out ecommerce features specifically on its sales page although it
provides many blog posts about why they're perfect for e-commerce sites siteground calls out that it
offers free installation of woocommerce a shopping cart plug-in for wordpress now to keep this short
the bottom line is you can't go wrong with either siteground or hostgator me specifically i prefer
a hostinger or bluehost but that's just me personally with siteground and hostgator i i
not exactly a big fan of the support with siteground with hostgator you do get a phone line
right here and live chat so that's definitely a big plus so you know between the between these two
i really care about customer service and i find myself in a better place generally when i know
that i could just hit up the uh support the live chat support or the phone support right away of
whatever service i'm using and they can help me out right away rather than having to waste time
kind of trying to troubleshoot things uh myself look it's their service it's their company they're
gonna know best about it so if anyone's going to help me uh solve a problem regarding the
service it's gonna be them and not me having to go through this back and forth with siteground
for example of just sending emails back and forth i don't like that i like to just get straight
to the point and fix my problem so you can't go wrong with either siteground or hostgator
but your specific needs may be best suited for one over the other both options provide a money back
guarantee great first year pricing and a free ssl certificate use siteground if you want your site
to be fast and your host eco-friendly if you care about that but you'll want to use hostgator if
you need vps or a host that can accommodate all growth stages of your site so that'll be it for
this video hopefully you guys learned something again if you guys are interested in any of these
web hosts be sure to check the description down below i managed to give you guys some discounts
so hopefully you can take advantage of these while they last if you're interested besides
