Host Gator Vs Go Daddy Part 3

The final comparison to see who truly is the better host for your website. So far Host Gator has won every round but will that change here? That is hard to tell but in the end you will be able to decide which hosting service that you want to use. The final part of this review we will go over all of the facts to make your choice easier. Now you will be able to see if the cost vs features of these hosting plans is really worth it to you. You should also look at the other two parts to see if you would want one of the cheaper plans.

Go Daddy $7.49

24/7 Phone/Email Support-  This is something that has become an industry standard so now medals go to anyone here.

Unlimited Bandwidth this is kind of a standard for web hosting services.

Unlimited Websites- This is a huge upgrade because with their earlier package we were only getting 1 website for this so now we can have as many as we want so we don't need multiple plans.

Unlimited Disk Space- Way better than that limit of 100gb this means you will never have to worry about running out of space for videos, pictures or anything else that you want to upload. So from the beginning of 100gb we now have unlimited which we all like.

Unlimited Databases- 2.5 times of what we had with the basic package and it allows us to do a lot more than we could have before.

Unlimited Email Addresses- You are now allowed to have more workers to have a registered email for your website. This is key for growth of your business it also allows you to have more writers registered for your site.

$100 Of Bing Ads Credit-. This is something that is very very specific because you must buy a certain amount of ads and then the credits will apply. You will also notice you can't buy the ads with a gift card.

$50 Of Facebook Ad Credit- Again you need to read that fine print because there are a lot of rules that apply. So be careful they are not really giving you anything special.

Customizable Mobile Site- This is something that most site builders already include and there are a lot of websites that can walk you through to do this manually so you are not in any danger here.

So as we can see this is a major improvement over the previous comparison for them, but let's see what Host Gator did for us.

Website Accelerator- This tool is supposed to give information about your site and it will help you with speeding up its load time. This is key because if a site takes to long to load then less people are going to read it.

Premium DNS- Basically it is Go Daddy's tool for repairing errors on your site. It will help you fix any 404 errors, and it is really useful if you can't identify the errors.

SSL Certificate- This is a 256 bit encryption for your site, and this is required if you want to sell items on your website. This basically encrypts the users payment method whether it is a credit card or Paypal purchase this will secure their information.

Malware Scanner- This is hard to actually judge because I don't know how they scan for malware or what service they are using. There are a lot of services that do this but having more than one is a great idea.

Host Gator $10.36

24/7 Phone/Email Support-  This is something that has become an industry standard so now medals go to anyone here.

Unlimited Bandwidth this is kind of a standard for web hosting services.

Unlimited Websites- This is huge because you will save so much money and you don't have to worry about running out of anything because you get unlimited everything (practically) with Host Gator

Unlimited Databases- Again Host Gator topples over Go Daddy by giving us unlimited databases which is better than that of the 25 you get from Go Daddy.

Unlimited Email Addresses- Unlimited is better than 500 in my opinion, but that might just be me.

$100 Google Adwords Credit- After you spend $25 of ad credit you get 100 which sounds like a good deal to me. This is great for growing your business.

Website Builder- Host Gator gives you its feature rich C-Panel website builder which is very common in the industry because it is easy and gives power users a lot of toys. This also allows you to build a mobile site really easily with out much assistance.

Free Dedicated IP- This basically makes it to where your IP for your site won't change. This is very important, and a lot of hosting services don't allow this option because it can be costly.

Free Dedicated SSL- You will get your own SSL certificate just like you would from Go Daddy and it is also a 256 bit encryption which is very important for your web store.

Anonymous FTP/FTP Accounts- This is where you can create a sort of login service for your site so that writers or other owners can control certain things about the site. Make sure that you set their permissions to your own levels.

Your Own Toll Free Number- This is an amazing feature, but it does have 1 stipulation that is you only get 100 free minutes a month. You can pay to get more added through your account.

Ecommerce- The one thing Go Daddy won't beat is that Host Gator allows everyone to have their own web store, and as we know it is not hard to sell something through these services. 

Now in my opinion the Go Daddy plan is worse because it lacks the web store options which cost quite a bit if you bought is separately. I also don't know if I get my own account system or even a static IP. Not to mention that with Host Gator I get my own toll free number which I think is cool as long as it is used properly with added minutes.
