I have used Hostgator and had to switch. After researching other hosting companies, I ended up with Webhostingpad. I was running into the php memory limit and needed more in order to run a custom module.
I altered my HG php settings and still had my problem. After contacting support, I was told that in no way could the memory limit be raised above the maximum (64M) allowed without moving to a dedicated server.
I have to admit Hostgator's support is great. They responded to my issues quickly and were very professional. While I had to move to Webhostingpad because of the PHP memory limit, the support isn't as good as Hostgator.
If you are not worried about the php memory limit, I highly recommend Hostgator. If you need more than the 64M memory limit, Webhostingpad is a good option.
I hope this helps gerald
Hello All, I did search for various hosting services. But many reply on forum looks like fake. So I want to know any "real" opinion for Host Gator ?? Specially for drupal related websites. ( Ubercart, Gallery, other forum, Open Atrium, etc ) Because my 95% sites are drupal sites. Also on many server wont get "mail" support by default. We need smtp auth then that can send mails. ( which configuration process is time consuming )
what is your call for Host Gator ? I had seen lots of recommendation on forum for Drupal + Host Gator .
Thanks Amit Karpe. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
