Host Gator introduces a free, easy-to-install tool, which brings value to customers and allows them to evaluate their Web hosting provider

January 10, 2007 – Host Gator, a leading provider of shared, dedicated and reseller web hosting, announced today the availability of a new widget that enables web site and blog owners to have visitors rate how fast their site is loading.

The widget is available free of charge. All site owners have to do is cut and paste a short snippet of HTML code into their web sites.

“This simple tool gives our hosting customers valuable insight into their web site’s performance,” said Brent Oxley, President and Founder of Host Gator. “We are always looking for ways to add value to each and every hosting account we sell and this is just another example of how we do that.”
With the widget installed, site owners can see the rating results, as voted on by their site visitors, and view a map indicating where all its visitors are logging on to the site from.

“This tool also enables our hosting customers to evaluate the performance of Host Gator, their web hosting provider,” said Oxley. “We are absolutely confident in our track record and welcome the chance for our customers to put us to the test.”
