Got a surprise this morning when logging on to my Hostgator account – a new design!
Logging into an account with a new design is sort of like waking up and not knowing where you are, kind of strange, but I have to say the new Hostgator design is pretty nice, and a lot more streamlined.
Everything is nicely organized on the main panel screen including traffic stats, domain and sub-domain stats, basic account information and a 'find' feature.
Since I generally go to my email first thing, I also noticed a video tutorial on how to manage your emails, not sure that is new but it got my attention this time and I found it pretty useful, in fact I see they have video tutorials for just about everything, things like creating cpanel shortcuts, managing mysql, learning about addon domains, how to do your redirects, how to use file manager, how to do backups and a lot more. They even have styles you an choose for how you want your Cpanel to look and of course, another video tutorial on how to change them.
This is probably sounding like a plug for Hostgator, and it probably is, but the bottom line is they have been a great host for me, and it appears it has been for a whole lot of other people as well. If you're thinking of a web host or possibly changing hosts check here and get your first month of hosting free.
