Hostgator offers 3 different plans for shared hosting. We have selected their Baby Plan for this particular Hostgator review, simply because it is the most value for the money.

• Price: $9.95

Our Hostgator reviews , consisted of extensive research into their SiteStudio and found you don’t need to know anything about FTP, HTML, HTTP or designing. SiteStudio provides and easy to use, step by step interface which allows you to choose color, style and images. The best part about SiteStudio, there is no software to download or code to learn. We also analyzed their control panel, cPanel. They have Fantastico Deluxe installed in the cPanel which allows you to choose from 36 popular scripts to be installed on your website.
