Whatever you do, do not purchase from Host Gator despite their awards and other jargon.
Here's why...
In 2010, I had a small VB board, Christmas Carolina, with less than 100 members which 15-20 were active at anytime. I came home one night to learn they had shut the forum down claiming too many resources are being used. I raised hell and pointed them to larger boards with the same type of hosting. They wouldn't budge, so I moved on and cancelled the account. All said and done.
Fast forward to 2013. I had forgotten about that episode when I signed up with them again only to find out my other account was still active but suspended. When I saw all of the trouble I had in 2010, I told them to close the new account and refund the charge. They closed the new account and refunded that amount but applied it to the suspended/over due account which was closed in 2011. Now, we're going back and forth over those charges. I filed a dispute with my credit card company and a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
Lesson here, never conduct any type of business transaction with them. I don't recommend Host Gator for anything web related.
The review I've written is based on support tickets exchanged with Host Gator. Nothing is of personal opinion except the recommendation.
