Self-Hosted HostGator?

I currently use Network Solutions so is HostGator better? How would I move my Wordpress blogs to HostGator if I did move? LA

I am also mid-move from Net Sol to hostgator. Not related to either of these hosting providers, but I recently moved a client wordpress install from hosted to self serve. It went relatively painless. Here is a decent migration manual to look through while you decide... https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/transfer-wordpress/ Cheers! -- Smug

I've had good luck with Hostgator, just came off a 2 yr promotional price with them. New price was double what it was, emailed to cancel they offered a new 2 yr rate that was slightly lower then my original promo, cant beat that.

Hostgator will move your tables for you.

You need to ask Hostgator, but I can't imagine why Wordpress tables would be harder to move than Buzztouch tables.

I use Siteground... super cool, the best support I've ever had to deal with, most because of my lack of knowing how to do this or that, not because it has problems. Cheers

Yes this is a referral link, so you might think that i would advise a2Hosting only for that, but no it's not like that, i believe them to be the fastest hosting around, and actually have many options to be even faster, no problem with buzztouch self-hosting, they have one click install for WordPress and they have their own word press plugin to optimize for security and speed, and soooo much more. Before finding a2hosting i tried many, and this is by far the best for me. At the beginning I choose them because you can choose to have European servers if you need. https://www.a2hosting.com/refer/44552
