User Experience:

Webhostingpad

WebHostingPad is a standard cPanel 11 host. There is a little bit of wasted white space in the panel skin, but that is definitely not any major issue.
Only a single concurrent FTP connection is possible. This is annoying if you want to update your site often with large amounts of files. You will not be able to parallelize uploads.

Hostgator

Control panel: cPanel 10 — We would have appreciated cPanel 11.
Fantastico Deluxe - Up to date
PhpMyAdmin is not available through cPanel so if you want to administer your MySQL databases online you will have to install it yourself.

Conclusion:

Webhostingpad & Hostgator, both of them are 2 reliable web hosting service providers, who’s better? Personally recommend “Hostgator” as your first web hosting choice, whatever, both of the 2 hosting companies announced to offer 99.9% uptime guarantee, I felt the hostgator hosting server uptime is more reliable than webhostingpad. So “Hostgator” absolutely will be your first web hosting choice!
