No doubt you\u2019ve come across business hosting before, so you\u2019re probably wondering what makes this style of hosting different from the rest?<\/p>\n<p>Below we examine what HostGator\u2019s Business hosting plan actually is, so you can determine if it\u2019s the right fit for your business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is Business Hosting?<\/h2>\n<p>Most businesses require a hosting solution that\u2019s not only powerful but also easy to use. Some business owners opt for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/web-hosting\">basic shared hosting plan<\/a>, as it\u2019s geared towards beginners and provides enough resources to get going. Other business owners might go for an even higher level hosting package, like VPS hosting, but quickly realize that managing a server can be a lot of work if you don\u2019t have the right technical skills.<\/p>\n<p>Business hosting exists to fill the gap between basic shared hosting and higher level VPS, dedicated, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/cloud-hosting\">cloud hosting plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The overarching goal of business hosting is to provide business owners with a high performing, easy to use hosting environment while offering additional tools that make running your business easier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Business Hosting Differ From Other Plans?<\/h2>\n<p>This business hosting solution is an upgrade from the typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/managed-wordpress-hosting\">WordPress hosting<\/a>. Shared hosting is a great place to start, as it\u2019s very easy to use and will provide you with enough resources and tools to get your site off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>But, if you\u2019re a small business that\u2019s selling products or needs additional features, then Business hosting is probably the direction you\u2019ll want to take.<\/p>\n<p>HostGator\u2019s business hosting plan is similar to the basic shared hosting plan, but it <a href=\"http:\/\/support.hostgator.com\/articles\/tell-me-about-the-business-hosting-plan\">comes with some serious upgrades<\/a> like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Support for unlimited domains<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Additional built-in e-commerce features<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Included private SSL certificate<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Free toll-free support number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It also all of the features of the upgraded shared hosting plan, so you\u2019ll have things like unmetered bandwidth and disk space, cPanel server management, and email account creation too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/web-hosting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-15-at-5.25.50-PM-1024x711.png\" alt=\"hostgator business hosting plans\" width=\"481\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-15-at-5.25.50-PM-1024x711.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-15-at-5.25.50-PM-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-15-at-5.25.50-PM-768x533.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-15-at-5.25.50-PM.png 1722w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How Can Business Hosting Benefit Your Business?<\/h2>\n<p>Business hosting can be very advantageous, regardless of whether you run a physical storefront or a solely online business. If you run a physical store and are looking to quickly and easily create a website that supports your business, then you\u2019ll be able to take advantage of the free website builder, and a toll-free number to get a beautiful site online that sends customers your way.<\/p>\n<p>While, if your goal is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/get-ecommerce-website-running\/\">build out an e-commerce store<\/a>, then the free SSL certificate, dedicated IP address, and high-performance hosting will help you start selling products online in the shortest amount of time possible.<\/p>\n<p>For business owners who don\u2019t want to spend time managing their hosting, but instead want a hosting environment that actually supports their business, then give business hosting a try.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Is Business Hosting Right for Your Business?<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, your business may be able to get by with basic shared hosting. But, if you\u2019re serious about growing your business, selling products online, and making it easy for your customers to contact you, then upgrading to business hosting is a great choice.<i><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Business Hosting Right For You?
