Hostgator can find a niche but choose not to.

Yes they are a big host but instead of taking the less imaginative approach of increasing packages why not do something truly outstanding?

If they were to look at Amazon’s S3 service I am sure you would agree that they pushing the envelope on what hosting can be. Why are they not pusing that envelope?

I am sure the have a lot of great talent working for them. I suggest they pull on that talent and find something that will separate themselves in the industry.

I am sure they think you provide fast servers, great support at a competitive price but so does everyone else.

Marketing or not these moves are not helping the hosting industry at all.
