Initial period discount
Prepay for as long as possible to get the greatest discount. Be aware that the prices will be higher after your initial period is over. You can see those prices on the billing page, and they depend on how long your billing cycle is. HostGator has huge price differences depending on whether you pay monthly or in advance for 1, 2 or 3 years of hosting.
Included domain name
HostGator include a free .com domain name with shared web hosting plans for billing cycles longer than 12 months. The domain is free for one year and after that I believe it renews at around $15/year. Whois privacy cost $1.25/mo or $14.95/year and you're probably better off just buying a domain with one of the top registrars that includes whois privacy for free. Then you'll get cheap renewals after your first year as well.
Included features
All of the shared web hosting plans by HostGator offers 1-click WordPress installation.
They do also include free website transfer for WordPress/cPanel websites.
Extra features
SiteLock monitoring comes in at $1.67/mo and is recommended by HostGator. If you do not have this you might struggle if your server gets infected with malware or viruses and HostGator may block you if you can't find all the infected files and then fix them. Daily Backups from CodeGuard offers lets you restore your site when needed with 1-click. It costs $2/mo.
Conclusion
Responsive live chat support is one of the benefits of HostGator. It has some drawbacks though. The regular price after your initial billing cycle is pretty high for this kind of web hosting. Lack of SSD disks is another drawback.

Expensive domain names
If you need a new domain name I would suggest using one of the top registrars and save about 50% off the cost compared to what this web hosting company charges. HostGator is charging $14.95 per year for whois privacy for your domain name, which in contrast, is totally free with some of the best domain registrars.
Conclusion
Due to really high prices after your initial billing cycle is over this plan get a substantially lower score than what it would get otherwise. Also, the high prices for domains and whois privacy and the lack of SSD storage are other reasons this plan gets a pretty low score.
