HostGator Web Hosting – Serving More than 7,000,000 Hosted Domains and Counting

HostGator Web Hosting – Serving more than 7,000,000 hosted domains and counting… As business professionals and consumers, we have witnessed similar words having been stated many times. While there may be instances of some businesses having overstated their position in an industry, HostGator Web Hosting is a company who stands by what they say. The fact that they have more than four million hosted domains is a testament to their core business philosophy of providing a quality web hosting service, with extraordinary customer service, and transparency before and after the sale.

HostGator has earned its reputation as one of the premier web hosting companies. The company has grown from an idea by its founder and current Chairman, Brent Oxley, to a world-class web hosting company with more than 7,000 servers. That is quite a growth spurt, considering Mr. Oxley started HostGator in his college dorm room with three servers.

Although HostGator is involved in an industry that relies heavily on technological innovations, HostGator is even more heavily reliant on its support staff. This is by far one of HostGator’s best features. Even with some of the best technology in the world, HostGator remembers that things do break from time to time. While many companies have outsourced their support staff, HostGator has its own support staff in-house, and is available to offer its customers assistance 24/7/365. It is this commitment to customer service that sets HostGator apart from many of its competitors.

The HostGator Web Hosting servers are housed in a total of four datacenters at The Planet, in Dallas, Texas. The Planet was a good choice for HostGator to locate their servers, as their datacenters contain state of the art equipment that keeps their servers powered, and well cooled. Their networks are fully redundant and are monitored by network administrators 24/7/365, and any potential problems are acted upon immediately. These and many other factors keep the HostGator servers delivering their customers’ domains online at a 99.9% rate.

Since HostGator modest beginnings in 2002, they have received many business and industry awards. These include, but are not limited to:

• 2010 — About.com 2010 Reader’s Choice Awards
• 2009 — Inc5000 Award for the 239th Fastest Growing Private Company in America
• 2008 — Inc5000 Award for the 21st Fastest Growing Private Company in America
• Web Hosting Top Outstanding Host Award
• Web Host Directory #1 Reseller Hosting Award
• Many, many more

There is also a commitment to the community at HostGator. For 501(c)3 non-profit organizations, HostGator Web Hosting has established a technology grant. Once an organization has been approved, HostGator will provide the group with one-year of free web hosting on their Business Plan. The company has also donated more than $125,000, in 2008 to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and One Laptop Per Child.

There is also some good news for those who reside in the Houston and Austin, Texas areas, or would relocate to those areas. HostGator Web Hosting is also looking for quality people to fill some of their positions in tech support, and system administrator roles.
