I love hostgator too

[Initial Question]:
(4:10 pm) [System] Customer has entered chat and is waiting for an agent.
(4:11 pm) [John A.] Welcome to HostGator Live Chat, my name is John. How may I assist you today?
(4:11 pm) [Rasel]: Hi John.
(4:11 pm) [Rasel]: I’m confused to choose from “Hostgator Baby” plan and Hostgator Aluminium Reseller hosting plan.
(4:12 pm) [John A.] I’m sorry, are you trying to upgrade, or find out the difference between the two?
(4:12 pm) [Rasel]: What is the current inode limit of these plans?
(4:14 pm) [John A.] There is a Soft limit of 100,000 inodes, where once this is surpassed, the account will no longer be backed up, but you can continue to upload to it. After 250,000 inodes, the account will be in violation of our ToS
(4:14 pm) [Rasel]: Actually right now I want to choose your Baby plan and after some months I want to upgrade it to reseller plan, when I will host 40 to 50 wordpress sites. Is that possible?
(4:15 pm) [Rasel]: OK. What about the reseller plan?
(4:15 pm) [John A.] Sure, you can upgrade at any time you’d like, and we assist you with the entire transfer process
(4:15 pm) [John A.] It has the same limits
(4:17 pm) [Rasel]: How many wordpress sites can possibly be hosted in a baby plan. I want a practical answer from your experience
(4:18 pm) [John A.] Hmm… it really comes down to the content, amount of plugins, and the caching that is involved. I’ve seen some plans host around 50-75 basic ones with no problems, and I’ve seen some single installations that are very resource-intensive that can barely run on a Baby plan. It really comes down to WordPress optimization
(4:20 pm) [Rasel]: How many wordpress sites can be hosted on “Hostgator Aluminium Reseller hosting plan” plan?
(4:21 pm) [Rasel]: Basic ones.
(4:22 pm) [John A.] It would be the same answer as above, there’s really no easy limit as it could be anywhere from a few hundred to 10 or so
(4:22 pm) [Rasel]: OK, thank you very much for your answers.
(4:22 pm) [Rasel]: Bye.

And what is the inode limit of Hostgator Aluminium Reseller hosting plan?

How many wordpress sites can be hosted in “Hostgator Baby” plan and “GoDaddy Delux 4GH” plan? I wish to host hundreds of wordpress and joomla sites
So which plan would be better?

If I choose “Hostgator Baby” plan now, will I be able to upgrade to Hostgator Aluminium Reseller hosting plan?

Please help. Thanks

Another thing Justhost limit CPU throttle up to 10% only. One of my site went to 70% and was suspended.

Please check the T&C. A lot of “we are not liables for this and that”

Thanks

I have a justhost account and was just told that I exceeded the 50K inode limit this week. They told me to get it down within 24 hours.. I’ve deleted a lot of files and a website that I’ve discontinued. Still over the limit. Every correspondence with them, I am told that I have a different number of inodes. This is a real pain. I plan to open a hostgator account and move some sites. If anyone knows a way to reduce the inodes that wordpress uses, it would be a great help. Everyone says “delete files you don’t need” but I can’t tell which files are critical or not.

What I mean is, is an inode created every time someone post a message in a forum?

This is important because I’m planning to launch a forum on a free host and it seems likely that 50k messages will, eventually, be posted.

On the other hand, if forum messages (or private messages inside the forum) are all included in a single inode, it wouldn’t be a problem…

I’d appreciate any help on this

seriously screw hostgator…
