HostGator Aluminum Plan Review

The HostGator Aluminum Plan, a reseller web hosting account, is the most modest of the five reseller packages offered. Included is Web Host Manager (WHM), making it extremely easy to create accounts for customers or yourself.

The HostGator.com Aluminum Hosting Plan allows for 24 gigabytes of disk space and 250 gigabytes of bandwidth. The service costs $24.95 per month and allows you to host unlimited domains.

This webhosting package includes many impressive features, including a money-back guarantee after 45 days and a 99.9% percent uptime guarantee. Also coming standard with this plan are private name servers, a free billing system, website templates, 24-hour tech support, instant backups and free set up. There also is no contract needed.

The Aluminum hosting service also allows for unlimited subdomains, POP3 accounts for email, MySQL Databases and FTP accounts. Once the account is set up, you’ll have access to a host of features, including CGI, PHP 5 with Zen Optimizer, MySQL 4+, Perl, Ruby on Rails, and Python among several others. Other options or “extras” include Site Builder and Chillisoft ASP. Host Gator email is user-friendly and secure, offering Web mail, email alias, auto responders, mailing lists, catch alls, Spam Assassin and mail forwards, but the list doesn’t stop there.

The HostGator control panel (cPanel) for this plan will keep the user busy. It includes Fantastico, Soholaunch, Multilanguage, Hotlink protection and many other tools. Also included in the price are features for Website and FTP Statistics, as well as e-Commerce features like shared and private SSL.

Just because the Aluminum Plan is the cheapest HostGator reseller hosting account, don’t be fooled into thinking that it doesn’t deliver good value. HostGator.com has earned an excellent reputation for providing affordable yet extremely reliable web host services.
