HostGator - hg1.hostpeek.com

HostGator is a hosting company that I have had personal experience with for more than 7 years now, during which time I've enjoyed good uptime and server performance, though I haven't monitored them as closely as I do now.

On this page you will find the monitoring results and other details regarding a HostGator Linux shared hosting account (Hatchling) that I maintained with them between July 2009 and May 2011, especially for Hostpeek.com. For explanations on how to interpret what you see on this page, read this guide (the link opens in a new window so that you can refer to the document repeatedly if needed).

Coupons

Please use the following link to signup with HostGator to help support this site. The "hostpeekcom994" coupon code takes $9.94 off the first bill for new customers. Alternatively, you can use the "hostpeekcom25p" coupon code that takes 25% off the first bill for new customers, and it should be more advantageous for those buying yearly packages or higher priced items. If you want to buy a reseller account there is also the "hostpeekcom2494" coupon, that takes $24.94 off the first bill. The "slickdeals" coupon takes off up to $25, but I'm not sure if it'll be available for long.
