Hostgator LLC, one of the leading web hosting provider with more than two million hosted domains announced their plans to start with VPS hosting services. We earlier covered the advantage of Hostgator shared web hosting over some of its competitors like Dreamhost . Though little bit costly, Hostgator provides good uptime, industry standard features, excellent support etc. that everyone is looking from a reliable hosting service. But every webhosting company has limitations on shared hosting plans. VPS service provides a virtual server on shared environment so that users can customize the server resources according to the plans chosen. Hostgator now offers shared, reseller and dedicated hosting plans. The new Hostgator VPS plans are lunched in test mode and only available for the first 200 customers .
