CONNECT WITH HBB ON SOCIAL MEDIA
HostGator is a leading provider of web hosting, reseller hosting, and dedicated servers. Over 2500000 websites hosted there. Today we moved to HostGator for better uptime and reliability.
For the past few weeks, HBB faced lots of downtime and Internal server error. Earlier HBB was hosted by GoDaddy, and seriously we didn’t find much issue with it until we were a victim of malware attacks. Several WordPress blogs hosted on GoDaddy were attacked at that time.
And I also came to know (via Reverse IP), lots of adult websites along with HBB hosted on their shared webhost, this affected my blog in all major search engines.
So I made use of Black Friday, and brought two webhosting packages from HostGator — Shared & VPS. After reviewing, I found Shared Hosting quite compatible for my blog right now.
I think it will take some time for the DNS to propagate, hopefully soon enough. Cheers. 🙂

I cannot believe that Shared hosting is still fit for HBB. But soon you’ll hv to shift to a VPS 😛
S.Pradeep Kumar
Waiting for that day!!! 😛
Rakesh @ Wizard Journal
Hostgator is the most popular web host for bloggers and almost everyone whose blog is doing good is hosted on their server. Which one are you using VPS or Shared?
Saket
Well good that you’ve now moved to HostGator. I got into a state of dilemma whether i should go with Hostgator or Bluehost, both are owned by the same company. Finally decided to go with Bluehost then
Vivek Parmar

just keep the backup of database. my database went whiteout several times while using hostgator
S.Pradeep Kumar
Wow, did you ask them (HG) why it went whiteout Sourish?? 🙂

It is good to see that you have made a transition. I have recently moved my hosting to TMD and their services are awesome. Since I am working on a few larger projects I needed a much sophisticated hosting.
Icechen1
Nice! Hope to see performance improvements.

That’s a very smart move. Godaddy is not for Hosting – They are for domains. HostGator Rocks in all aspects.
Ayush Chand
Now your site is slower than usual. I think you should select VPS hosting
S.Pradeep Kumar
That’s really bad. I checked the loading speed using Pingdom Tools (http://tools.pingdom.com/), it is far better after the migration. 😐
Andreas@Linknami
Hi Pradeep, hostgator is a great choice. I am using hostgator since 2005 for several small sites and also for client sites and have always had a good experience with their server performance and support.
Kimi@wordpress video tutorials
I use JustHost.com for my blog but i am familiar with HostGator by working with my client’s sites.
I prefer JustHost since it is cheaper and also the more user friendly interface.
Thanks for sharing the awesome review.

Good move Pradeep. Host gator is an excellent webhost. Hope HBB’s uptime and pageloading speed will increase.

I wonder how will adult websites affect you? Isn’t there good ranking adult websites? And… I thought HostGator also allows such websites? 🙂
S.Pradeep Kumar
eTipsLibrary shared this video Jasmine,

S’pose 50 domains hosted on the same web server as your site, and around 30-40 domains are spammy/porn, then you are in trouble. 8)
Sathish @ TechieMania
You made the right move Pradeep. I am sure you will enjoy your days with HostGator. All the best
S.Pradeep Kumar
Yea Sathish, I guess HG experience will make a difference. 🙂

Hostgator is a great host. My WordPress blog is hosted on it.
So you have save your blog from “bad neighborhood effect”.
Congrats.

Great move, Pradeep 🙂
Good Luck with HBB’s new home 🙂

1st of all do not take third comment in a row as something dubious. I searched on the matter and here is a video of Google Matt Cutts http://www.youtube.com/das_captcha?next=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DAsSwqo16C8s . Which says Spammy or porn websites shared on same server do not effect your SEO until unless the ratio of spammy to normal website is abnormally high.
S.Pradeep Kumar
That’s what I meant mate. Earlier we had abnormally high porn websites hosted along with my blog, now it is much low, eg., around 2-3. 🙂
Earlier HBB was blocked/banned in UAE, after the migration, it is unblocked.!
eTipsLibrary
I have checked through Reverse IP Look still your site is hosted on the server where some adult sites are hosting. There are three
S.Pradeep Kumar
Yea, but I appreciate the fact that it is around/or less than 5. Earlier it was around 30-40%. 🙂
eTipsLibrary
That’s good that you utilized there black Friday give away. So how much you have saved pradeep ?
esoftload
