Sign Up With HostGator Webhost

I have just signed up with HostGator as my second webhost. My first webhost is BlueHost.

As my BlueHost account is a shared hosting plan, I faced problems with “temporary account suspensions due to high traffic overload” when I was hosting too many domains on it as most of them are wordpress blogs, php files are known to eat up more resources than html files.  I know I will face more problems if I continue adding domains to it. That is the main reason I have decided to get a second webhost.

The second reason is not to put all the eggs into one basket. All my websites were down for a few days because my account got suspended while I am away for a trip to Bangkok. But overall they are still a good webhost with good pricing.

I got myself a reseller package with HostGator. They are offering 20% discount coupon “SPRING” which is valid till May 1 2008. I am a newbie at reseller account, so I still need some time to familiarize myself with the setup.

I should have sign up with them last night, as the dns nameserver requires around 24-48hrs to update. So, it is a waiting game for now.
