    Good web hosting is one of the most important things for any website after it’s domain name. It’s one of the basic building blocks and the backbone of your website. Your hosting decides your website’s – up-time, website loading speed etc. That’s why it’s crucial to make an informed decision and that’s exactly what I’m going to help you with, today.

    #Usability

    Yaabot - GoDaddy Backend

    GoDaddy uses it’s own proprietary backend. It has a sleek layout and is pretty straightforward. With no advertisements, GoDaddy’s backend is cleaner and gets the job done quicker without any delay. However, people complain that GoDaddy’s backend has options hidden in menus and sometimes difficult to find – which seems to have been fixed with the recent update that has rolled out.

    Yaabot - Hostgator cPanel
    HostGator and BigRock both use the popular cPanel as their backend for all shared hosting plans. cPanel is the standard for all hosting accounts these days and is very straightforward once you learn your way around it.

    # Downtime

    No one likes downtime. Any website/server downtime can do unnecessary damage.
    All these three providers guarantee 99.9% uptime and also offer a Money Back Guarantee with the same.

    # Disk Space and Bandwidth

    There is nothing called Unlimited Space or Unlimited Bandwidth! Ever heard of such a computer?! No.

    By Unlimited Space and Bandwidth it just means that the host doesn’t set a limit on how much you use…….provided it complies with the Agreement. Now the catch is that the bandwidth is subject to availability on the server.

      Godaddy has so many enemy ex-customers. Hostgator presents itself as a crocodile and behaves accordingly. Bigrock, never heard of. Anyway, we can assure you that weloveourhost.com outperforms them all.
