Having a professional-looking website is essential for almost every type of business in order to showcase all of your products and services, but many small business owners have little experience with creating a website and even less cash to spare to hire a professional website designer.
Having a website that is available around the clock is also essential to your online success. Your choice of a website hosting company will be one of the most important business decisions that you will ever make.
The authors, all senior website developers and marketers, give you the benefit of their experience with HostGator as a hosting service, and in particular HostGator's Control Panel (cPanel), to help you make the most of all the professional-quality features that can help you create your website in a matter of minutes if you have your content prepared to paste in.
