GoDaddy Vs HostGator - Ease of Signing Up

Shopping for a web host should be fun. You want to make your purchase and not have headaches or buyer's remorse. GoDaddy and HostGator are two leading web hosting companies on the Internet today. Which of these hosting companies offer you, the customer, the least headaches?

Having been customers of both companies, I can share my experience with you. Let's start with GoDaddy. When you visit their site and compare it to HostGator, you will quickly notice that GoDaddy appears to be cheaper than HostGator. Once you decide to buy from GoDaddy, you are slammed with a mountain of options. This can range from email accounts, to web promotion. All of these add a bit extra to your shopping cart. You can easily go over budget if you don't know what you are doing.

For a new customer, this process can be very overwhelming. There are tons of items you need to uncheck just to get your purchase made. Finally, you get to your shopping cart and in order to get their low price that they advertised, you must buy their 5 year hosting plan. You can easily drop a few hundred bucks in a hurry. Especially going through the time reading and unchecking all of the options, this can get frustrating.

Fortunately HostGator makes the buying experience easy and pleasant. When you visit their site, they offer you 3 plans. "Hatchling", "Baby", and "Business" plans. You can quickly compare these 3 plans and choose which is right for you. If you want to buy a domain along with your hosting plan, they give you that option when you order. That's it. No mountain of boxes to uncheck. You simple get what you paid for.
