I believe that you must be very familiar with the two major American mainframe brands, Bluehost and HostGator, which are owned by the same company Endurance International (EIG), and have always had a good reputation in the industry. So which is better, BlueHost or HostGator? Today, we will make a comparative analysis from four aspects: seniority, speed, load and running time, for your reference only.

I. seniority comparison

Founded in 1996 and steadily growing into one of the largest web hosting companies in the world, BlueHost now hosts more than 3 million websites from around the world. BlueHost also has a long-term cooperative relationship with WordPress officials and officially became one of the hosting hosts officially recommended by WordPress as early as 2006.

HostGator was established in 2002, but the computer room of its server is located in Boca Raton, Florida. With the advantages of high stability, high speed and high security, it has always been one of the most popular virtual hosting providers.

Second, speed comparison

BlueHost has four big data centers in the United States, Hong Kong, Europe and India to choose from, while HostGator currently has only two data centers in the United States and Hong Kong. Here we will briefly compare and evaluate the speed of the BlueHost and HostGator computer rooms in the United States.

From the figure above, we can see that the speed of BlueHost and HostGator US computer rooms is similar, but BlueHost not only optimizes the lines for Asia to speed up access, but more importantly, BlueHost supports global CDN acceleration technology, which is very good for websites that have visitors all over the world.

Third, load test comparison

We conducted load impact tests on BlueHost and HostGator to determine whether the two host vendors will use a large amount of traffic to keep the page running. Basically, this is a real-time test in which 100 virtual users interact with the page in about five minutes. In the following figure, the green line represents the number of concurrent users, while the blue line represents the response time. The specific test results are as follows:

From the above picture, we can see that the BlueHost infrastructure provides higher stability, whether it is 1, 50 or 100 virtual users, the server response time is stable at about 280ms.

(HostGator load impact Test)

Relatively speaking, the load impact test results of HostGator are not satisfactory. Although the response time is very good for less than 50 users, when the number of requests exceeds that number, the server time soars to 430 milliseconds.

IV. Comparison of uptime

Uptime is an important indicator of our choice of virtual hosts. Since web pages will be stored on physical machines, it is necessary to understand the downtime caused by BlueHost and HostGator server problems. The following figure shows a comparison of BlueHost and HostGator uptime over the past year.

We can see from the figure above that the uptime provided by BlueHost is much better than that provided by HostGator. Whenever the Bluehost fails, the backup system starts almost immediately, so any downtime does not last longer than a while.

The above is the comparative evaluation of BlueHost and HostGator, to sum up, BlueHost and HostGator are good choices.
