Hostgator vs MyHost
Why would you trust a hosting company named after a predator? MyHost's prices, reviews and local servers make for a smarter choice than Hostgator.

Hostgator has a huge advertising budget, private equity-backed corporate owners, and a catchy name. If you agree that prices and service are more important than all that, then give MyHost a second look.

Fantastic support. Good pricing ...and a control panel that just works without trying to up-sell and randomly include extra things I didn't ask for. So impressed, I'm migrating domains from a number of other providers who struggle with one or more of the above.
I am really impressed. Not only is the performance fantastic on their hosting accounts (shared hosting), but I required some technical assistance to activate certain features for an API I have on the back of my application, and the customer support was nothing short of amazing (and I mean that). Quick response and understood my needs and solved my request perfectly. I've used many hosting services over the years and MyHost is a good (very good) one. ★★★★★
Fantastic support with hosting, and just a fantastic knowledge base overall. I was let down by Crazy Domains, nothing worked. MyHost transferred the domain and everything worked as expected instantly. I made a mistake and the site went down, but within 30 minutes MyHost reverted my changes and saved the day. ★★★★★
