HOSTGATOR CPANEL PLUS
On the plus side I’m much more efficient at moves my sites these days. Hostgator’s bubble had most certainly burst. But like everyone, over time they get greedy, over sell their services and decline. I’ve tried many hosts over the last 15 years I’ve been developing websites, and really thought I’d found a reasonably priced host with excellent service. As a small business owner I’m in shock about how bad this is. I can only wonder how many times this has been the case over the last few years. I tried the simple test script above and nothing. I was using mail() to debug a script but never got my debug mail. However I’ve not got to the point of sending any email from it yet, not one. so because I can’t communicate with my customers, I’ve had to write an entire database driven “drip feed” emailer sending a few at a time with cron (many extra late nights on top of running a business). The ones that did go went in batches of 61 (not a value set by me) at a time and only 2 batches were ever sent (hence 122). I simply loop the mails to send until they are sent, and don’t hammer the server when doing it. I cc myself on all system email so I know they did not send. I have over 400 clients and my newsletters only went out to 122. I’m guessing this is an over zealous anti spam catcher. The reason I’m working on the site is because Hostgator will restrict how many emails you send from your website. My email reminders to clients failed to send this morning (from a cron triggered script) and a very simple test script with nothing more than a call to mail() fails to send. My untouched contact form script stopped sending. Today my issue is PHPs mail() function has stopped sending emails. Today 90 minutes and my “estimated wait time” is still 30 mins. In the last few months this has grown to over 30 minutes, usually nearer an hour.
Live chat used to be a 1-5 minute wait, rarely more than 10 minutes. Initial teething issues were blamed, but it’s still slower even now. Previously snappy page loads are sluggish now.
In 2013 I was moved to another server and it was noticeably slower. I noticed a down turn in their service a few months ago. HostGator used to be great, fast servers, great customer support, very fast response in live chat. Use the comments section below to let me know if you have any recommendations you would add to this list based on your experiences. You can opt for any of these alternatives, however, my first recommendation is SiteGround for their excellent server quality, and support. To be clear, I have only hosted WordPress sites with the hosting services mentioned above, and my recommendation is based on my experience with them. I’m not listing a large number of HostGator alternatives because my goal here was to offer a shortlist of the top options available to you. I have already shared a few articles related to Bluehost, which you are welcome to refer to: So technically you will be getting the benefits of VPS at no extra cost. Bluehost has implemented its own technology to handle this issue. On most shared hosting, your site will go down because of any faulty site consuming high CPU resources. One of the best things about Bluehost is its resource protection.
