Do you use Hostgator ? Read this.

To you poor souls that use Hostgator some bad news.

Quote:
On Tuesday, August 25th starting at 7:30am CST, HostGator will be increasing pricing on all our hosting packages and plans. This decision is a reflection of the changing hosting industry and increase costs as a result.
However for affiliates of Hostgator some good news.

I use them to park my extra domains, but I pay 3 years in advance. Really should pick a better host though.

I really don't want the hassle of changing hosts, also which hosts are better?

What I would like to know is this.

Storage prices have come down.
CPU prices have come down.
Network Connectivity has come down.
They recently got bought out by EIG and now have more economy of scale.

How the fuck do prices rise due to rising costs ?

Used them many many years ago for reseller hosting. Shit was overloaded way back then. Always had to email or call and say shit's at a crawl and then they would boot the overloading user. So honestly thought they sucked even before the buyout.

You can host a few sites on a much better quality network for $5 a month and scale up as you need to.

Use code: DO10 when you're signed up for $10 credit.

Around here electricity has probably risen more than 30% in recent years.
