Do you use Hostgator ? Read this.
 

To you poor souls that use Hostgator some bad news.

However for affiliates of Hostgator some good news.

That is all.

I'm with them

some prices of their products went up for 50%...
good luck to anyone still using them...

No damage here, never used them and probably never will.

I use them to park my extra domains, but I pay 3 years in advance. Really should pick a better host though.

Fuck Hostgator! :321GFY

I really don't want the hassle of changing hosts, also which hosts are better?

so it went up from $3 to $5 a month ?

People still use Hostgator? :upsidedow:helpme:error

:1orglaugh

Worst host I have ever experienced.

What I would like to know is this.

Storage prices have come down.
CPU prices have come down.
Network Connectivity has come down.
They recently got bought out by EIG and now have more economy of scale.

How the fuck do prices rise due to rising costs ?

Used them many many years ago for reseller hosting. Shit was overloaded way back then. Always had to email or call and say shit's at a crawl and then they would boot the overloading user. So honestly thought they sucked even before the buyout. :2 cents:

what's a good host to switch to?

Digital Ocean

You can host a few sites on a much better quality network for $5 a month and scale up as you need to.

Use code: DO10 when you're signed up for $10 credit.

Payroll/benefits/taxes/insurance/rent

your an idiot DO is for people that can figure out how to manage a server which is maybe 1% of the population.

Centos + WebPanel = Easy - Just like CPanel without the cost.

Around here electricity has probably risen more than 30% in recent years.

If not, than aliens do. After all they are one of the biggest companies in the world. I thought that people were those customers, but now I am not sure.

Damn foolish people.

bump for this... any host want to move some of my crap off HG, I'm in the market

I just sent you a private message.

got it, we have a deal
