HostGator Shared Hosting Plans:
HostGator features three shared hosting plans Hatchling, Baby, and Business. Most customers go for the Baby plan. The main reason for that is that with the Hatchling plan you can only host a single domain name, whereas with the Baby and Business plans you can host multiple domain names. If you only need web hosting service for a single domain, then the hatchling plan may be all you will ever need.Screenshot 01: HostGator Shared Hosting Plan Overview
