I’d go with the wordpress starter plan – the server they’ll put you on is specifically created for wordpress websites.
I believe that plan will also give you the ability to easily install wordpress through your control panel.
Greetings @derock,
We certainly appreciate your interest in HostGator and @jess is definitely right that as you might guess, our WordPress packages are specially designed for the WordPress platform, however the benefits do not end there.
Our WordPress packages also include increased security through the option of a firewall and daily malware scanning. Additionally these packages also offer off-site daily backups in case of any emergencies. More information can be found here : http://www.hostgator.com/managed-wordpress-hosting#compare-table
We hope this helps but if you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me via [email protected] (Attention : Jonathan H.) and I’ll be more than happy to continue our conversation.
