Mark's Overall Rating
Many web owners are well aware of HostGator and the wide array of website hosting services they offer. This review speaks to those of you who may have a demanding application or very busy website, and need to explore the idea of getting their own dedicated server from HostGator.
A HostGator dedicated server is exactly how it sounds. Dedicated to you and only you! If a web server was a huge bus, with shared hosting, you get a seat… with dedicated hosting, you get the entire bus to yourself and can decorate it, build it, and drive it however you want!

We have 3 dedicated servers with Hostgator and aside from the short learning curve to get them set right and the lack of a good email spam system, they rock!
The speed is awesome and the support is typical Hostgator support, great!
4+ Stars all around!
