I am looking at offering Hosting and Domain name services to my clients and was looking for a hosting/domain reseller similar to the one I was currently with (as I was comfortable with it, just wanted more of the revenue than their affiliate program was offering).

Anyhow, I came across HostGator and it would appear that is precisely what I was looking for, running the CPanel admin interfaces and whole slew of options for reselling.

I just wanted to know if any one knew more about HostGator. Good things, bad things, praise, concerns, everything.

I've been using hostgator for almost a year and my only complaint is that they don't offer urchin statistics. The best they have is awstats.
My sites usually respond fast and I havent noticed any prolonged downtime with the websites but do ocassionally have problems connecting to my email via outlook.

HostGator is overpriced and their support isnt always the best.
I now use www.crucialp.com - perfect! No complaints whatsoever. Other than using their service I don't have any association/affiliation with them - I have just been constantly impressed by their level of service and like to big the up whenever asked.

Thanks guys, Does anyone else know or use any other companies similar to this?

What exactly is Urchin?

Thanks

That's because as a budget host, hostgator can't afford urchin.
My hosting clients get urchin, but I pay through the nose :)

ackerly: Urchin is a commercial stats program. Good enough, that google bought them.

btw, thumbs down on hostgator

I use statcounter. It's the best, IMO.

As for hostgator. Meh. There is no perfect webhost. Everyone has different needs, and as such need different webhosts.

True, however I doubt the poster would want to risk his client's sites going with a budget host.
