Lately, there is a friend asking me whats the cpu usage limit for host gator hosting, and also how many simultaneous mysql database connection allowed. A quick search at internet can’t find me any information to help answering it. Following some finding and confirmation had been made:

• Hostgator allow maximum of 25 mysql connection simultaneously. If you having 5 domains, then its 25 connection each domain, and total of 125 connections.
• Hostgator allow maximum of 25% CPU usage limit.

25 simultaneous mysql connection is a lot. Basically a forum with 300-400 active members, would only hit this 25 simultaneous connection once a while. Basically, choose to host optimised forum script. I strongly recommend vbulletion forum, instead of phpBB, IPB, or SMF board.

For the CPU usage, its rarely that you hit the 25% cpu usage. Unless your site is script intensive and require more logic processing or in another word process intensive. Another question is regarding flash download site, will it hit this quota. Very unlikely, because flash file is downloaded to user browser and play from browser. This making use of the bandwidth only.

However when you hit the cpu usage quota or when you hit the usage limit. There is always a trick to run around it. Most commonly suggested tricks is to turn off the awstat that come with your cpanel. Note that awstat and other tracking tools used up quit some number of cpu and mysql connection. By turning this off, you gain more resource for use.

Web browsing is easy but web hosting is complex. All that can be seen is not true in this world. Many web hosts would assure you of providing the best and most reliable web hosting at affordable cost. But they either lack in the quality or they just do not deliver what they promise. Therefore it is always better to read about the company and its previous works and accomplishments before making up the mind to sign up. You surely would not like to get cheated.

While you go through with a review, you should always keep certain things in mind. You should have some doubts before taking up the review. One of those doubts should concern the price. Quality is another factor that has to be kept in mind. But with good quality you have to spend a lot. So try to search for an option that has a blend of both, affordable price plus quality. Hostgator is actually very good in this area. They offer numerous packages that suit everyone’s pockets.

Disk space should also be among your top priorities. Here too, Hostgator has several plans that provide you superb storage. If you are not satisfied with a plan you can always change it afterwards.

Once the package is taken, it becomes the responsibility of the company to look after the customer if he has any problem. Hostgator customer services are available 24X7. The customer services are provided online, on phone and also by a ticketing system. It is the experience of many customers (not just me) that the response given by the representatives was extremely satisfying. They help you in every doubt you have and make sure you have your query cleared when you disconnect the line.

One of the most famous sites that offers shared hosting is Hostgator. The company was established in the year 2002. It has been one of the best of its kind and this can be very well demonstrated by a number of good Hostgator Reviews. The most remarkable feature of this company is that it maintains an excellent relationship with the customers. If the customers’ problems could not be solved by the support team, they can even call the president of the company, Mr. Brent Oxley to look upon the problem.

Hostgator mainly focuses on Linux based hosting. But, other operating systems are also expected to be supported by this hosting website. There are a number of different plans available in Hostgator. They are listed below.

1. The first is the Hatchling Plan. It supports Linux and the user gets a storage space of 350 GB and a bandwidth of 3000 GB. The user can have only 1 domain and the cost of this plan is $6.95

2. Next is the Baby Plan. This plan also supports Linux and the user gets a storage space of 600 GB and a bandwidth of 6000 GB. The user can have unlimited number of domains and the cost of this plan is $9.95

3. Next is the Swamp Plan. It supports Linux and the user gets a storage space of 1000 GB with unlimited bandwidth and unlimited number of domains. The cost of this plan is $14.95

The data center of Hostgator is located at Dallas and is well equipped with Dual Xeon servers. It is also connected to ten supporting systems used for back up and other purposes. The server offers around 99.9% efficiency, which is an industry standard.

On an analysis of the performance of the site for a period of three months starting from February, 2008, Hostgator has proved to be the best among its competitors. Moreover, not a single site was down for more than five minutes continuously.

The charges in Hostgator are very feasible as they have introduced a number of twenty four and thirty four month pre – paid schemes. These schemes are quite cheaper when compared to monthly payment schemes.
