Hostgator's hosting plans can be split into three teams; basic shared hosting plans (suitable for the large majority people), reseller hosting strategies (these are mainly for individuals and companies that want to "resell" their account resources to clients of their own), and lastly dedicated server plans (these accounts provide client their own server, so they do not have to share its resources with anybody else). Extremely few of us will every require a specialized server so this evaluation will focus on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.

Hostgator's three major shared hosting plans are called: "Hatchling" (the entry level strategy priced at $6.95 / month), "Baby" (this is the most popular plan, and it is most likely to please the requirements of a really large array of customers), and "Swamp" (similar as the "Infant" strategy, but with increases in bandwidth and disk space, priced at $14.95 / month).
