Web hosting requires an extensive amount of power. For companies to provide stable, reliable service, they are forced to get this power from the normal power grid. However, some companies compensate for this by purchasing credit or certificates with green energy projects or companies. The most popular form of green energy seems to be wind energy. HostGator is one of these green web hosting companies. It is also one of the reasons they are one of the top web hosting companies in the industry. Coupled with this green hosting, they also offer their services for less than many of their competitors. In fact, their basic package for shared hosting comes with a monthly fee of only $3.96. This is one of the lowest prices on the Internet.

However, this low cost comes with a three-year subscription to HostGator. Thus, if you are unsatisfied with the company for some reason, or you choose to take down your website before three years have passed, you’re forced to pay. To offset this, you can find HostGator coupon codes across the Internet.
