Have you ever wondered just how well DoRoyal stacks up against the competition? Apparently it’s super cool for other hosting providers to do direct comparisons between one another, as a way to try and one-up themselves. We’ve mostly kept ourselves out of these comparisons, as we never really saw the point.

However, we’re constantly being asked about our capabilities, and how we compare against some of the top hosting providers in the industry. So, we figured we’d do our own little comparison. All information within this article was provided directly from their respective websites, and are for their shared hosting offerings. Renewal rates are being used instead of promotional rates. Additionally, because some hosting providers have a ton of plans, our table comparison could break. Sorry about that!

First up, let’s start with our offering. This is what DoRoyal provides, as of January 10th, 2025.

DoRoyal offers a range of plans with varying levels of storage, bandwidth, and performance, while GoDaddy provides unmetered bandwidth and storage options with their higher-tier plans. Both providers include free SSL certificates and script installers, but DoRoyal specifies more detailed resource allocations like CPU cores and RAM.

And now, onto HostGator.
