Hi,

I’ve hosted with HostGator for just over 3 years now and it’s without a doubt the best hosting provider I’ve used (and I’ve used quite a few). I’m currently on the verge of getting a reseller account for my web design company and I just need a bit of persuading because of a some offers I’ve found elsewhere.

For £29.99 ($44.18) p/mo I’ve found a pretty reputable provider that does unlimited domains, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited space. I’m a bit wary of this since it seems too good to be true.

Another I’ve found for £24.99 ($36.81) p/mo has 250GB of space and 2TB of bandwidth.

It’s just a bit strange to me as these rates seem way better than most, which makes me wonder if there’s a catch.

Obviously, space and bandwidth aren’t the only considerations; I have to think of customer support/service, admin features, uptime, speed etc., all of which are superb with HostGator; I’m just tempted by these relatively much larger offers of bandwidth and space because we will probably be needing quite a lot for our clients.

I don’t suppose the HostGator reseller bandwidth/space are being reviewed or might be increased any time soon?

Any advice would be appreciated, as I need to made a decision fairly quickly.
