Full-page load speed wasn’t up to a second either, with most of our page requests loading around 800ms. If speed is something that you’re particular about, then 1and1 should be at least near the top of your list of prospective choices. This isn’t only higher than HostGator’s response time by far, it is also significantly higher than the industry average. So, compared to HostGator, how fast is 1and1? Well, we set up a website and tested the response time, and we measured an amazing average of 276ms.
However, if you’re determined to use HostGator, you can make use of their cloud hosting option which is two times faster and has four times the resources of their shared hosting plan – according to HostGator, at least. The page load speed was even lower, around 1280ms. In short, if speed is your thing, as it should be, HostGator isn’t the greatest choice for you. On average, HostGator had a response time of 765ms, which was quite high for us, especially as we’ve seen response times consistently lower than 500ms. To test the speed of HostGator, we did what we do best – we bought a basic plan (sorry if it sounds like we’re being a tad cheap), built a dummy website, filled it with basic content and tested response time. Faster websites generally rank high on search engine inquiries, and that means a higher conversion rate for businesses and higher traffic for blogs. What difference can a few milliseconds make? A LOT, according to google. Let’s see how well both perform on uptime and page load speed. Obviously, the best service is the one that handles these tasks better than others. How reliable are the services you’ll be paying for? How quick? Since the primary job description of a hosting provider is to keep your website online and accessible, you should be able to measure how well these services are rendered. One of the most important things to consider when choosing a host for your website is performance. 1and1 is much more popular everywhere else. Hostgator is a supremely popular Web-host… in America, and perhaps, Provo, Utah. However, we won’t be stating the obvious for this section, because the answer to this question is probably not really obvious – especially if you’re reading from America. This is usually the more irrelevant aspect of the hosting and we literally just write about it to state the obvious. If anything, we expected this expansion to mean even more stellar performance stats from 1and1. Recently, in 2018 (whether or not 2018 is recent is relative), we got the news that 1and1 expanded by buying Profitbricks which was an enterprise cloud solution. Be it advanced level hosting services or shared hosting plans for beginners, it is unlikely that any group of webmasters would not find a viable plan with 1and1. Like HostGator, 1and1 provides services from the ground up. This is probably why, despite being acquired by EIG, a company notorious for making Web-hosts a shadow of themselves, HostGator is still popular amongst small business owners and bloggers. With a longer than normal money-back guarantee, decent security and superb uptime, HostGator is pretty reliable. It also comes with its own proprietary website builder called Gator by HostGator (A bit obvious, but also a stroke of genius, we think). These services include VPS, shared, dedicated and WordPress hosting. HostGator, as one of the most powerful host (in the US, anyway), offers a lot of web hosting services. But does all these have a bearing on the actual performance of 1and1 or HostGator? Let’s find out. The company also owns, which is probably the biggest mail service on the internet. HostGator is owned by EIG, a company that owns almost half of the Web-hosts that we’ve reviewed, and 1and1 is owned by United Internet, a company that has been around since 1988. Or are they? Both are owned by some of the biggest internet conglomerates on the planet. On the other hand, HostGator has over 10 million domains under its control. HostGator is one of the biggest names in Web-hosting in America, and 1and1 is the largest one in Europe, with over 20 million domains under its control. It’s like comparing the giant of two continents. HostGator vs 1and1 has got to be, in recent times, one of the most like for like matchups we’ve seen.
