Hostgator India Review
As most of us know that Hostgator is the largest and leading web hosting company in the world, now it is also among the very first international web hosting service providers to setup base in India. The company is running the local office from Nashik in Maharashtra and having data center facility in Hyderabad. However the data center facility is maintained by CtrlS.
Excerpts from Hostagtor India Site:
“HostGator has chosen CtrlS to be its exclusive data center and network provider and has since become CtrlS’s largest customer. HostGator’s long standing relationship with CtrlS allows HostGator customers to utilize one of the world’s best networks to power their web sites and ensure maximum uptime. CtrlS’s world-class datacenters feature state of the art security, power, safety, and cooling systems – all designed to ensure that service remains uninterrupted.”
The network is backed by Cisco certified redundant system. The whole process is continuously monitored by Hostgator .

Local Support and Benefits
Being a locally based Internationale hosting company, HostGator offers a vale for money.

You can communicate in your local language with Hostgator India Team, which is another useful add on for Indian customer. If you want to move from your existing registrar to HostGator then the technical team is there to assist you all through.
Godaddy is another giant who is operating from India, but I personally prefer them for domain registration and that is all. Hostgator is a name in itself when it comes to Web Hosting expertise.
