One of Hostgator’s newer offer is managed WordPress hosting, designed to compete with WP Engine and the various other providers. However, it’s still Hostgator.

Awesome video, I learn a lot from your resources. In the video, you recommended getting recommendations from real people, so I want your thoughts on a few things.
Currently, I have the Hostgator Baby Plan, and I´ve been with them since September 2014. My only issue with them is site speed. Old PHP versions (version 5.6 on new WP installs), so a manual upgrade is required through .htaccess file. I am up for renewal in October this year. By then, I will like to get another hosting company.
I need unlimited websites as I test plugins and themes before I implement those on production sites. I would love to have server-side caching. I reside in Norway, Europe, do any of the hosting companies have servers in Europe or are they US-based only, or can I solve this using a CDN-service.
Should I go with a shared plan of a managed plan?
You should consider getting off of Hostgator and on to a better host. If you still like shared hosting, you can check out NameHero or GreenGeeks. IF you want something better, check out SiteGround.
