Hostgator green web hosting is one of the most commonly known web hosts out there. Hostgator has always provided its clients with some of the top web hosting plans at affordable prices, but they have also committed to helping the environment by going green. As they are a large company, they host a combined total of over 2.5 million web sites.
Of course, this means that they would have to use a lot of web servers to store the content of all these sites. Of course, any data center of this size would also need additional equipment, such as network switches, workstations and large, powerful fans to cool down the servers.
Hostgator has taken a step in the right direction by replacing their servers with equipment that is 36% more energy efficient. You have to remember that while one server may not consume a lot of power, it takes HostGator hundreds of servers to power all the websites that they host. Combine this with the fact that these servers are constantly operating 24 hours a day and you will see the huge amount of power that they use.
Hostgator has 3 different shared web hosting plans available for their clients. The first one, called the Hatchling plan, allows you to host a single domain on their server, however you get unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth and also a shared SSL certificate. This plan starts as low as $4.95 per month if you sign up for 3 years. The rates for a 2 year term are $5.95 a month, for a 1 year it is $6.95 a month and the month-by month plan is $8.95 a month.
For those who need to host more than one domain on their shared hosting account, the baby plan would be a very good deal. It allows you to host unlimited domain names on your account, in addition to coming with unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth. You also get a shared SSL certificate included in the plan.

3 years – $7.95 a month, 2 years $8.95 a month, 1 year $9.95 a month and $9.95 for month-by-month.
If you want slightly more advanced features or are hosting a large business or ecommerce site, you should consider the Business plan. In addition to having unlimited domains, disk space and bandwidth, it also offers you a dedicate IP address and a dedicated SSL certificate. You also get a free toll-free number that you can forward to your regular business line.
