About HostGator – Quick Overview
HostGator is a well-established and well-known hosting company.
The company was established in 2002 by Brent Oxley. HostGator quickly went mainstream, becoming one of the fastest growing hosting providers in the US, and has been featured on INC500 as well on other business magazines.
The company’s headquarter is located in Houston, Texas, but they have offices in Austin, TX, and multiple offices around the world: India, Canada, Mexico, China, Russia and Brazil.
By 2006 HostGator had over 200k domains under their management. By 2013 they reached 9 million domains and over 400k customers.
In 2012, HostGator was asquired by EIG (Endurance International Group) for $225 million, who helped growing the company even bigger. EIG is a publicly traded company on NASDAQ (EIGI), who owns a handful of other popular hosting companies such as BlueHost, iPage, JustHost and HostMonster.
In 2014 HostGator expanded their service to Chinese and Russian customers, and in 2015 to Mexican customers, expanding their support with Spanish, Russian and Chinese speaking employees.

If you are want to find more details about the company, I highly suggest reading our full HostGator review, which is based on our tests and includes uptime records and website performance stats.
If none of the above coupons are working, I recommend checking out HostingFlow as an alternative HostGator coupon source.
Conclusion – Is HostGator a Good Host?
HostGator is for sure one of the best hosting companies, but the real question is that if HostGator is for you. Our experience and research shows that there are cheaper options on the market, so this might be a downside to pick HostGator. However if you are looking for a reliable, feature-rich hosting, where you can start and grow one or multiple websites, HostGator is definitely a good option to consider.

Wow great alot coupons and all updated thanx for help in getting the discount.
HostGator is a quality service I have used and found to like.
Thanks for this great list of HostGator coupons. All coupon codes I’ve tried out were working perfectly and gave me the promissed discounts.
I really love your page and your effort you put into it to keep all coupons updated all the time.
Keep up the good work! Thanks, Gabriele.
Hostgator is my favourite web hosting services provider! Also I love the coupon codes they offers. Very useful for me.
I’ve used HostGator in the past for my blog, but I cancelled my account, because had no more interest in running my blog.
Today I’ve decided to create a new blog and start over my blogging career. Because I had very good experience in the past with HostGator, this was on the top of my list for web hosting.
I’m glad I found this page, where you provide with so many HostGator coupon codes. I was able to get 45% discount on my hosting purchase. Thanks a lot for keeping this page updated!
thanks for sharing this i always prefer hostgator for hosting as it is the best hosting provider company
Great Coupons. What are the Black Friday 2017 deals from Hostgator?
Thank you so much for the HostGator hosting.
It really helped me in writing a good coupon article about HostGator.
It’s worth appreciating.
Regards,
Alex
The coupon for HostGator 1CENT Business plan worked just in the nick-of-time! Thank you for your excellent website content! I had some trouble with losing my hosting package and 25 domains were in jeopardy. I was able to utilize your coupon code and purchase a hosting package on top of my already paid for package. Basically your website saved me a lot of money and hassle when I was in a business crisis! Thank you for your excellent resource and good work! 5 stars
I want to make a website for my dad. He has a plumbing company and he wants to have a website. I though Hostgator would be a good option to make the website, but I don’t know which plan to choose and how to build the website.
Should I use WordPress or Hostgator’s website builder? I have no clue on how to make a website, so I’m just learning by doing it. Do you think I can make him a website for his birthday or should I hire someone?
Hi Sathish! If you are a complete beginner in website building I would recommend making your first website with a website builder. The Gator Builder is a really intuitive software, which does not require any prior experience or coding skills in order to create a professional website:
1. You just sign up at HostGator and choose to purchase the Gator Builder plan. (use our coupon code to get a discount)
2. Register a domain name (now you can get a free domain at Hostgator).
3. Choose a template that you like and suitable for your dad’s business
4. Edit the template, add your images, text, contact info, create pages, etc…
5. When you are done, press the publish button and you are done!
It is that simple!
With WordPress there are more steps to achieve the same result, though you have more flexibility. As mentioned before, I think you will be more than OK with the website builder.
Good luck and show us your website when you are done. Get in touch with me via the contact form!
I own a niche website, which I’ve built about 1 year ago. The traffic just kicked in about 2 months ago. Now the website is getting around 2,000 page views a day. My current host can’t keep up with the traffic and my website is often unavailable due to server overload.
While I have international traffic as well, I thought that one of the Cloud hosting plans from Hostgator could suit my needs. I have a WordPress site.
I would appreciate any help or suggestion.
In my opinion the Baby Cloud plan from Hostgator would be good for your website. If your site will grow even further, you can easily upgrade your plan later on.
If your website is already making money, it is a good idea to invest in a better and faster web host, because a fast loading website provides a good user experience, which is crucial for Google rankings.
If you need help with migrating your website, you can also ask Hostgator for assistance. I’m not sure if they do this for free (they did it in a past for a while), but they are really good in migrating your site to their server with no or minimal downtime.
I saw the promotion at Hostgator, that now they are offering a free domain name for one year. What happens after one year? Will I lose my domain name and website?
Hey Jack! Yes, Hostgator is offering a free domain name for new customers for a limited time. After one year, you will not lose your domain or your website if you renew it. You will need to renew your domain name, which will cost you around $15 depending on the domain extension you choose. Please check with Hostgator about domain renewal fees.
Please be aware that the free domain is only included with the subscriptions of 12, 24 and 36 months on shared, WordPress and cloud hosting plans. Also note, that if you cancel your subscription within your first year, you will have to pay $17.99 for the domain.
We want to expand our web design business by offering our clients web hosting service. Was looking at Hostgator, because their reseller hosting packages are really interesting.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a new account for each client? Some clients want to have access to their website through FTP and we can’t allow them to see or touch the files of other clients.
Do you have any coupon codes for reseller plans?
Offering web hosting for your clients is a great way to make extra money. I think it is a great idea to resell hosting.
With HostGator’s reseller plans you can create as many accounts as you need for each client separately. I think, it is even possible to brand the backend of the control panel – upload your logo and add your company name.
Unfortunately, we didn’t found any promo code that would work with reseller plans. Sometimes HostGator offers huge discounts on Black Friday, which also applies to reseller plans, though currently we have no coupons for these plans.
I saw a website where there was a 99% off coupon code for HostGator, but it didn’t worked. I don’t if that page is a scam or what, or just the coupon has expired or what’s the deal. I need a good host urgently but I don’t want to pay the full price. What is the best coupon code for Hostgator shared plans? Can you help me with that?
Please scroll through our list of coupon codes, because there is a discount code which will technically give you 99% discount on the shared plan. Here is the proof:
Please note though, that this coupon only works on monthly plans for the first month. After the first month, you will be charged full price.
If you can afford paying extra, I suggest you choose an annual plan because in the long run is more affordable.
I want to move my sites to Hostgator because my current host can’t keep them online. I’m sick of them so I want to move. As far as I understand, Hostgator offers website transfer if you buy a package from them. Does website transfer costs extra? Do I need to use a special coupon code to get a free website transfer? How this works?
Hostgator will help you to transfer a limited amount of websites from your old host to their server for free. All you need to do is to contact their support within the first 30 days after signup and file a request for website transfer. You will need to provide them with login details to your current host and Hostgator’s team will do the rest.
After your website is transferred, always check if it works properly. Good luck!
I was looking to build my website using a website builder. I’ve tried out the free version of Weebly and Wix. They are fine, however upgrading to a premium plan with a real domain name is really expensive. I was looking at Hostgator’s website builder and I’ve read lots of positive feedback about it. I also found out that Hostgator is one of the biggest web hosting companies and they have been around for a long time. Your coupon code makes their website builder plans more affordable, however I would like to ask you if you recommend the Gator builder? They are good at web hosting, but is their website builder good enough?
Thank you!
Hey John! Indeed, HostGator is one of the biggest hosting providers out there and they have been in business since 2002. They are a highly reputed web hosting company.
We have tested many website builder, including Wix, Weebly and the Gator builder. I can say that the Gator builder is at least at the same level as the others but cheaper. So you will make a good decision if you choose to build your website with the Gator builder. On top of that, HostGator’s support is also top notch! Good luck with your website!
Do you have any coupon code for their Windows plan? I want to purchase a windows hosting plan and Hostgator seems very reasonable, but I don’t find any coupon code for Windows.
Hi Eric! Yes, you can get a 20% discount on both Hostgator windows hosting plans (Personal and Enterprise). All you need to do is click this link and the coupon will be activated at checkout. This coupon works with monthly as well with yearly billing cycles.
Is there any promo code for account renewal? I just found out how much I need to pay for the next 36 months and it is ridiculous! I need a coupon code to lower the price. Please help me!
I’m sorry, but we don’t have any coupon code for account renewals for Hostgator plans. You didn’t knew from the beginning how much you will need to pay? Hostgator is very clear about their prices on account renewals. If you still find it very expensive, you might want to try out iPage. Though they also charge more on renewal.
How do you use a coupon code? Where do you need to add the coupon code? I don’t find the place where to insert it. Please help!
The use of the coupon codes is pretty easy. Once you find the coupon code you need, you can use it on the checkout page.
In the 5th section on the checkout page, just before reviewing your purchase you can add the coupon code. Here is a screenshot:
This code works just like I wanted! Thanks for the quick response. Just saved me $150 on web hosting 🙂
You should avoid Hostgator because they only want your money. I had an account with them for one year but I was struggling to get any help to setup my website. The support is very slow and renewal fees are a joke too!!
I wanted to get a discount on renewal, but didn’t find any coupon. So I need to move my site to another host, because I will not pay the “premium” price!
Most likely I will try Hostinger. Any feedback on this company?
We have very good experience with Hostgator and we highly recommend their service. Can you tell us exactly what was your problem with their support and what happen?
As I mentioned in one of my above replies, Hostgator does not offer promo codes for account or domain renewal. I my opinion it worth the extra money, because their server are high speed and also reliable and includes free SSL.
Hostinger is also good, but you can only setup Let’s Encrypt SSL manually or you can pay them to set it up for you. If you don’t care about these small extras and the money matters the most when choosing a hosting service, then I can recommend Hostinger, otherwise I would stay with Hostgator.
Where can I find a Hostgator coupon for 90% discount? I found on some websites that Hostgator offers 90% discount, but none of their codes are working. Is there any code that offers more than 60% discount?
Sorry, but I don’t know of any Hostgator coupon code which will give you such a huge discount. On Black Friday, you can get up to 70% discounts, but I’ve never found a coupon to give you more than that.
I want to setup a WordPress site and I don’t know which should I choose: Hostgator or Godaddy? I’ve found good and bad opinion about both companies and both offer discounts on first purchase. The problem is that I can’t decide which to choose. Which is the best?
Both Godaddy and Hostgator are really popular. This is the reason why you will find positive and negative reviews on both. Here at WebHostingMedia, we test web hosting providers considering different aspects such as: performance, support, features, pricing and uptime. From our tests we found that Hostgator is more reliable, so I would recommend Hostgator over Godaddy.
You can setup a WordPress site at Hostgator in just a few minutes and you can use one of our coupon codes to get a discounts on sigunp. If you want to find out more about Hostgator’s WordPress hosting, please read the linked article.
So, I was looking to buy a shared hosting plant at Hostgator to setup a website for my iPhone repair shop. From what I’ve found online, it looks like WordPress sites are slow on Hostgator. Is this true? I don’t want a slow website. By the way, how can you measure the speed of your website? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I’m still new into website building. Please help me decide what to do.
Thanks!
Hey Imran! From our tests, I can say with confidence, that Hostgator speed is very good and WordPress sites are running very smooth on their servers. For a local iPhone repair website, a shared account will be a great option. If you have national or international traffic, you might want to choose one of their cloud hosting plans. From what I understand, you want to get local customers through your website. So, I would not be concerned about website speed.
You can measure website speed with different online tool such as GT Metrix, Pingdom or LoadImpact. All these tools are free to use and some of them allows you to test speed from different locations.
Your hosting provider plays a huge part in the speed of your website, but there are many other things that influence the speed, especially in case of a WordPress site. Such things are number of used plugins, types of plugins, the theme, traffic, size of images, number of uploaded articles, etc.
If you want a really fast loading website, choose a minimal WordPress theme, install only the necessary plugins and make sure you resize and optimize the images. Hosgator is for sure a great choice for WordPress sites, so I highly recommend this company!
I’m from India and I want to make a blog in English. Should I choose Hostgator.com or Hostgator India? Which one you recommend for an Indian blogger?
Hi Cato, thank you for your question!
HostGator USA and HostGator India have different server locations. HostGator India has servers in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Hyderabad and in Singapore. On the other hand HostGator USA has data centers in Houston, Texas and Provo, Utah.
You should choose whichever is closer to your audience. I understand that your blog will be in English, but your readers will be from the US or from India?
The good thing about HostGator is that you can switch data center. For instance, if you build a blog for Indian audience, but the blog goes international, you can switch to the US data canter if that makes more sense in the future.
Good luck with your blog! Also, I you decide to buy hosting from HostGator, don’t forget to use a promo code to get a discount.
I have a domain name at Godaddy and I was wondering if I can move it to Hostgator. Actually I want to build a website and host it at Hostgator, but I’m not sure which plan should I buy, or how this works at all. I heard that WordPress is very trendy to build a website, but I’m completely new to it and can’t figure out how to get it going. Don’t have the budget to hire a web designer. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Hi John! Yes, you can buy a domain name at GoDaddy and host it on HostGator. At NameCheap you can buy domain names for cheaper price. In fact, this is what I recommend! Here is what I recommend, if you already have a domain registered at GoDaddy:
1. Signup for a HostGator account (HostGator baby plan would be a good choice for you)
2. Add your domain name to your HostGator hosting account
3. Login to your GoDaddy account and change the name servers of your domain (you will get all the instructions from HostGator, once you have an account)
4. In HostGator’s control panel install WordPress to your domain – this is a few clicks process and you only need to setup the login information to your site – it is not complicated at all, even if you do it for the first time
5. Customize your WordPress site as you wish – install a theme, plugins, add content.
You can find lots of WordPress tutorials on our website, or around the web. Use the HostGator coupon provided at the beginning of this article to get up to 60% on your first purchase.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me here or you can also send me an email using the contact form.
I want to publish my site to the internet. Is Hosgtator good for this purpose? Where should I start if I’m totally new website building? Should I hire someone instead or should I try myself first making a website? Sorry for all these newbie questions.
Hello Keith! I’m happy to answer all your questions. So, from what you’ve described, you are completely new to website building, and probably you’ve never registered a domain or signed up for hosting. In this case, I recommend you the following:
1. Sign up with HostGator’s Website Builder – and choose the Starter plan.
2. Register a domain name that you like – for a limited time, you can get a free domain at Hostgator. If you don’t know how to pick a good domain, please read our guide here.
3. Once you have a good domain name and you’ve completed the registration, you start building your website.
The Website Builder at HostGator is very easy to use, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is just starting out. It is the best choice to setup a professional looking website quickly. You don’t need web design or coding skill to publish your website to the internet.
The website builder allows you to choose from a large number of templates. These designs can be modified as you want. Once everything is set, with a press of the button you can have your site published.
If you are stuck, HostGator offers lots of tutorials that can be very helpful. Also, you can contact their online support anytime you need help. They are very friendly and helpful.
Hi! What is the best Hostgator voucher for free web hosting? I want to get a free hosting account at Hostgator. How you can do this?
Hello Martin! Hostgator does not offer free hosting service. They offer a 45-day money back guarantee. If you don’t like their service, you can ask for a refund in the first 45 days. There is no coupon at Hostgator, which will enable you to sign up for free.
Though, if you want to try out their hosting service for a very low price, you can use the “1CENT” promo code. This coupon will give you 99% Off first month on all shared plans. For one month you will get almost free hosting from Hostgator.
I think everyone should get a website, whether you are an individual or a small business owner. If you own a business it is obvious why you should have a website, but if you are an individual, you can also make money from a website or a blog.
About two years ago I’ve started my first blog just for fun. Just only after 6 months I realized that my blog was getting over 100 visitors on daily basis. I didn’t know about this, because at the time I had no intention to measure the traffic. My hosting provider emailed me about resource over-usage on my hosting account. I was like WHAAAT? I had no clue what does that mean.
I’ve done some quick research and found out that my blog was ranking on Google for various keywords. Then I decided to try monetizing my blog’s traffic, but my host was awful in keeping my website online. So I’ve decided to switch hosting company. I found Hostgator.
It was one of my best decisions to move my website to Hostgator, because they gave me so much more: really helpful support to transfer my website, amazing improvement in website speed, free SSL certificate which is a standard in the industry already (unlike at my other host), and option to upgrade my account when time comes.
I stumbled upon this page while looking for a coupon code for account renewal. I came to realize that this is not an option. I don’t mind paying the higher price, because Hostgator is worth all the money, but still I wanted to save few bucks.
Hey Louis! Thank you for your input. I’m glad you had a good experience with Hostgator. Unfortunately Hostgator does not offer a discount for returning customers and account renewals.
First of all, thanks for all the great info you provide here about Hostgator. I actually used your coupon code earlier this week. After some struggle I was able to setup my website and also created an email address. However I don’t know how to access my business email and how to send an email through Hostgator. Can’t figure it out. Would you be kind to help me out with this?
Hello Jin! I’m glad you found this page useful and thanks for using our coupon code. If you have created an email account for your domain name at Hosgtator, you should be able to access it in 3 ways:
1. Access yourwebsite.com/webmail link; insert your email address and password and your set. Here you can check your incoming emails and you can also send out emails.
2. You can access your email through cPanel too. Login to cPanel and go to “Email Accounts” – next to your email address click on the “Check Email” button. This will take you WebMail login page – choose Horde webmail application and access your email.
3. You can setup your email through an email client such as Thunderbird, Outlook, BlueMail or other. Choose any email client you like. You can find all the setup instructions for your email in cPanel. Go to “Email Accounts” and next to your email address click on “Connect Devices” button. On the next page you will find all the setting you need to enter in the email client. If you choose to manage your emails through an email client, I recommend setting up your email through IMAP and NOT POP3. With IMAP you can synchronize multiple devices, while with POP3 you will be able to see the email from on device only.
Hope, you can figure it out!
Hi there! I run a small web design company and this year I was able to get a lot more clients. While I work with small local businesses, often they don’t have any technical skills to purchase a domain and setup hosting. The fee of setting up the website on their server is included in my service.
Somehow this is not an ideal situation for multiple reasons. Any time a client’s website is down, I’m the person who is contacted, while the hosting company experience problems. I’m the person who always contact the hosting provider on my clients behalf, which is frustrating a time consuming.
I was wondering, if I do this support anyways, why not resell web hosting to my clients directly. Hostgator seems a really good choice for my needs, but I have no idea how to run a hosting reseller business.
Do you think that it would be a good idea to use Hostgator to resell hosting for my clients? Can you eventually give me a good Hostgator coupon code for reseller plans? Thank you in advance for your response!
Hello Kadence. If you are running a web design company, sooner or later you will want to offer full service for your clients. So reselling web hosting is a good idea, not only to make some extra money, but for the reasons you wrote. Most clients have no clue how to choose a hosting provider or how to register a domain. Some of them will forget to renew their hosting plan, so it can get worst.
I think HostGator is a very good choice when it comes to resell web hosting. They offer multiple reseller hosting plans so you can upgrade as your company grows. If you purchase a reseller hosting plant at Hostgator, you will also get a free Reseller Club Account, where you can register, manage and sell domain names to your clients. It can be easily integrated with WHMCS, one of the best client management and billing software.
The really good think about reseller hosting is, that your clients will have access to their own control panels, but you can manage all control panels. So if they mess up something, you have full control over their website and can fix it quickly.

What is the best Hostgator coupon code for VPS plans? I need to move my websites from shared account, because the traffic went up a lot. In the last 3 months I was receiving about 20k visits a month to my websites and they’ve started slowing down. I talked with Hostgator and they said that I definitely need a more powerful plan and they recommended at least a VPS hosting plan. Which VPS plan do you recommend for such amount of traffic?
Hey Emily! With so much traffic, you definetly need a VPS hosting plan. In my opinion the Snappy 2000 VPS plan is enought at the moment for your needs. However, if you think that the traffic will double in the next 2-3 months, you should consider going strait for the Snappy 4000 plan. You might pay a little more at the moment, but you will not need upgrade again in a few months. I’m amazed how you were able to run these websites on shared plan, because 20k / month traffic eats up a lot of resources. HostGator is pretty good 🙂 Right?

Hi! What is the best hostgator coupon for renewal? After 3 years I need to renew the Baby plan, but can’t find any working coupon code. Please help me because the account will be suspended in a few days if I don’t renew it… I don’t have the money right now to pay as much as they are asking and want to reduce the renewal fee… any idea?
Hey Aleks! As I mentioned in some of my previous comments, HostGator does not offer any coupon code for account renewal. At least we did not find any working coupon code for this purpose. If you don’t have the money just yet, try to talk with their support and find a solution to not get your account suspended, especially if your source of money is your website. I can’t promise you that you will be able to work out anything with them, but you can try. You have nothing to lose in this case. So good luck!
Hostgator or Namecheap? Which is best? I’ve registered a domain name at Namecheap few months ago. Now I want to setup a WordPress site and don’t know if I should choose their hosting service or should I purchase Hostgator. This will be a simple website, more like a blog where different authors will write and publish content. I have no idea how many people will visit the website, but I hope it will get popular. Which hosting would be the best option for me and what coupon code you recommend?
I use both hosting providers and I can’t say anything bad about neither of them. Namecheap is not as popular as Hostgator, though they are cheaper. Domain registration is also cheaper at Namecheap. If you need performance, I would recommend choosing Hostgator. From my tests and experience, Hostgator performs better when it comes to website speed. Don’t get me wrong here, Namecheap is a really good hosting provider too, but Hostgator is a bit better in my opinion. Above on this page you can find the best Hostgator coupons, depending on what hosting plan you want to purchase. So I invite you to browse through these coupon codes.
Hey David! Thanks for the quick response. But, why would you use both hosting providers if Hostgator is better than Namecheap? I’m confused…
Good question Ginger! Sorry if my response caused some confusion. The answer is pretty simple:
I use both HostGator and NameCheap, because my team and I run multiple websites. As we want to be on the safe side, and don’t want to “put all our eggs in the same basket”, we use different hosting providers. We also test the performance of multiple hosting companies we review on this website. So there are multiple reasons why we use the services from various hosting firms.
