The experience you need to deliver
Define what information stays public and where member or student data is processed. Consider who will actually look after the site six months from now. The right plan should be understandable to that person as well as technically adequate.
Where this choice goes wrong
Assuming a basic hosting package provides a compliant student-record system. Support, permissions and recoverability are often the differentiators when features look similar.
For the decision in front of you, check the exact product terms and any dependencies before you commit.
What I would check before choosing
Keep sensitive records in appropriate specialist systems and seek the right compliance advice. This is the kind of choice that's easiest to revisit before the site depends on it.
Considering HostGator for this?
Check the current terms for the specific plan you need. A good fit on paper still needs to fit the real workload and total cost.
