Hostgator Rip!
It appears that this host has taken 'divine inspiration' from the hostgator design.
Home page is different enough, but the similarities throughout are numerous.

Looks like they got a little lazy with their features listing. Probably not enough for what you're saying.

At least everything isn't unlimited.

I feel few guys don't have any other topic to make comments, so, they are wasting their valuable time to get some publicity/attention of visitors
Guys, this is not a very new thread about this topic, if you search you'll find one more thread about the same topic where we had mentioned everything about this.
I believe someone will be also available here from Hostgator so I think they should have come to us if they had found something wrong, isn't it?
I believe, we are not unknown to Hostgator since we were nominated in best 25 webhost along with Hostgator and we had same layout that time as well, please visit http://www.hostreview.com/awards/201...ng?page=browse
Let us know if you may have any other problems/issues or questions.

Sorry, it's a blatant rip with some modifications. HostGator has had the same design with a few minor changes here & there for pretty much the entire life of the company.

I have no idea why anyone would want to rip HG's website. But taking a look at the current website, there are some similarities, but I would not call this a rip. I did not look at the code though..

Most websites look like they use the same template to me, especially ones that put their main features in rounded div with a fake money off time limit.

Right, how about you look a little closer.
Sorry, but designs do NOT get that close out of the blue. The site was & has been ripped no matter which way you cut it. Yes, some of the content & colors have been changed, however, it's almost a spitting image of the HG site.
AND, according to them the last time, it took:
Give me a break. If the naysayers really can't tell the site is STILL ripped then you should have your eyes checked.Last edited by VeeroTech Hosting; 09-07-2013 at 06:39 PM.

I don't see anything which you can claim exclusive ownership toward.
We can argue inspired, but other than we'll have to agree to disagree.

What's hostgators service quality have to do with another company essentially stealing from them.
There are certainly some differences but to me it's a clear rip with certain pages and layouts. If it's inspired, their designer pretty much made it identical whether the company wants to admit it or not.

So if I steal your website it's alright you don't care? Confused by some of the posts here.
Ron has just said people can steal their website design. Hope people have no problem editing it to their needs. Good luck to the ones that take your companies design too I presume? Or is it good luck to gator who got their design stolen but they shouldn't care that people are ripping them off?

It looks similar due to the typography and the overall layout of the design. However, I can't say that this is a 100% blatant rip because very different color schemes are being used and there are some differences on certain pages.

They copied everything off host gator. I dont know how people dont see it. Sure its a different design somewhat but its still a rip.
