With over 7 million domain owners, and increasing, Hostgator is fast becoming the leading web hosting company out there. There are 9 years of hard work behind their success story. Hostgator was started in 2002 by a student, Brent Oxley (the current CEO of the company), from his room at Florida Atlantic University. Since then, it has moved out of a room as a mere idea, and become one of the best web hosting companies with over 750 dedicated employees providing 24/7/365 phone, email and live chat support, and a 99.9% uptime on their hosting servers.
Why should We choose Hostgator?
Hostgator provides excellent customer support. You can phone them, email them or live chat with them at anytime. And they are really friendly too. If you are having any problems, they will always help you out.Hostgator is risk free! You are guaranteed a 45 day money-back in case you are not satisfied with their service (not likely). They have a lot of reasonably priced hosting plans so that you can always find the perfect plan for yourself.
Hostgator has stood the test of time and has improved it’s services over the years.

How would migration effect my blog?
Blogger users will continue to use dashboard as they did before. There will be no change. Except this time, you will be allocated disk space to place custom CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) on it. You can then use those custom style sheets for stylizing any page you like. In this way, you can create a unique page that will be different from the other pages in terms of styling and content layout.
If you are using WordPress, you can easily transfer your files and posts to your self-hosted WordPress Premium blog. Again, Hostgator provides excellent support in these matters and they will be ready to help, should you come across any problems.
The migration itself will not effect your traffic. You can transfer files to Hostgator and your blog will function normally in the meantime. However, if you are using Blogger, your blog will go down for 24 hours. Tip; Monitor your traffic and look for a pattern in your traffic which will tell you what specific day in a week you get the least traffic. Then schedule your migration for that day so that a minimum number of your audience are disappointed.
