HostGator Brazil has modified its website hosting packages and introduced the Turbo plan.

The website development and hosting industry is always evolving, with new technologies and products being introduced to meet customer needs.

HostGator introduced updates to their website hosting plans in September, following previous product launches earlier in the year.

The company introduced a new shared plan called Turbo, designed for large websites with high traffic. It offers greater performance and capacity compared to other plans. Additional updates are also available.

The Turbo plan replaces the Business plan, offering more strength.

The Business plan, the most powerful among the company’s website hosting plans, was replaced by the Turbo plan. The Brazil branch, responsible for operations in Latin America, implemented this change and introduced significant enhancements in performance and capacity.

SSD storage refers to solid-state drive storage.

HostGator’s Turbo plan maintains the same 150 GB storage capacity as before, but now uses SSD technology instead of traditional HDDs. This modern disk type offers improved speed and performance for the hosting service and the hosted website.

The Turbo plane stands out from the P and M planes by using SSD disks instead of HDD disks. The company trend towards adopting SSDs is seen as positive and expected. Recently, the VPS and Dedicated plans were reintroduced with SSD disks being partially or fully utilized. Once a competitive edge, SSDs are now becoming the norm for top hosting sites.

Improved processing performance and increased visit capacity.

HostGator’s Turbo plan offers superior performance compared to the company’s other shared plans. Previously, shared plans had similar performance levels, which posed challenges for growing websites that required more robust hosting available in the Business plan. The Business plan previously stood out for providing complimentary private SSL and dedicated IP certificates, essential for e-commerce sites but costly. While these features are no longer included in the Turbo plan, all plans now offer free SSL for all hosted domains.

SSL Free has been substituted with SSL Let’s Encrypt, a popular and globally utilized free service that currently boasts over 110 million active certificates.

The Turbo plan offers double the performance and 2.5 times more visitor capacity compared to other plans. It also allows for twice as many simultaneous processes, database connections, and inodes/files in the hosting.

Larger websites with high traffic that require higher performance may now opt for a more cost-effective solution with the Turbo plan, which is often better suited for site growth.

The provider of no-cost websites now presents additional features.

All HostGator hosting packages include a complimentary website builder, providing users with a user-friendly tool for creating their own sites. Previous plans featured a basic version of the site builder that was restricted in resources and page allocation.

The modifications to the hosting plans now enable users to access the full version of the website builder, featuring integration with online stores and allowing an unlimited amount of pages. Additionally, the website builder can be used for free on all hosting account websites, a feature that sets it apart from other companies.

WordPress is a great choice for those seeking additional features and versatility, and it can be easily installed using the Softaculous installer as demonstrated in this article.

Plans P and M will have new prices.

The latest update in the hosting world is that the prices for P and M plans have gone up, while the Turbo plan remains at the same price as the previous Business plan.

The price hike was modest, around 2 to 3 Brazilian reais per month. HostGator remains one of the most affordable options, even after the update. Despite the rise, accommodation costs have been decreasing over time, making website hosting more affordable than ever.

The company did not provide an official explanation for the adjustment, but it might be related, even if minimally, to the alterations in cPanel’s license structure and pricing announced in June. This led to increased costs for licenses, particularly for hosting services that offer unlimited accounts, such as HG. cPanel is a widely used control panel offered by many hosting companies worldwide.

The company simplified the payment cycle options by reducing them. Previously, customers could choose from monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, biennial, and triennial cycles. Now, only monthly, annual, and triennial cycles are offered, providing a positive simplification while still offering diverse options to customers.
