HostGator Pro Dedicated Server Review

The HostGator.com Pro dedicated server plan is one of four Linux packages offered.  Host Gator dedicated servers go a step above their regular shared and reseller accounts because they provide higher levels of speed, security and uptime.

The Pro package is the most powerful of HostGator’s dedicated servers, and proving that is the fact that the plan comes equipped with the Quad-Core 3210 Xeon (Kentfield) processor. Setup is free, and the monthly price comes at $279. The datacenter is located in Dallas, Texas.

The Pro package has 4,096 megabytes of memory storage and a 2 x 250 gigabyte SATA II hard drive and there also are 10 IP addresses included. Some of the other features that come with the Pro plan include 24-hour tech support, 99.9 percent uptime guaranteed and a 45-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied, the latest version of cPanel and no contract is required.

HostGator.com’s Pro package also has unlimited capabilities for creation of domains, subdomains, POP3 accounts, MySQL databases and FTP accounts. In addition to that, there are preinstalled programs including, but not limited to CGI, Perl, streamed video and music, Image Magick and several others. Pro’s email tools also are impressive, and have security options such as Spam Assassin. Other included features are mail forwarding, SMTP, IMAP support and mailing list.

The control panel is packed with information and will be sure to provide convenience to the customer using your site. Some of these options include instant counter and FormMail, redirect URL, Web-based file manager and Hotlink protection. The HostGator Pro dedicated server plan also includes standard features for e-commerce, Web and FTP statistics.
