How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Hostgator names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Hosting. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Hostgator also lists Bluehost, SiteGround, DreamHost, Kinsta, WP Engine as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
