Free Domain Registration
In order to qualify for (1) one free domain name registration, you must sign up for a 12, 24 or 36 month HostGator Shared, WordPress or Cloud hosting plan. Offer only applies to domains available at the time of hosting signup, and on their initial purchase term. This offer is NOT available under any other hosting plans, nor can it be combined with any other offers. After the first year, your domain will renew at the regular rate.
If your hosting plan includes a free domain and you cancel your hosting within the first year, a non-refundable $17.99 USD domain fee (+ any applicable taxes) for the domain name will apply. Please note that newly registered domains cannot be transferred to another registrar during the first 60 days of the registration period.

Unmetered Web Hosting
How much bandwidth will my plan include?
Bandwidth is "Unmetered" which means you are not charged according to the amount of bandwidth you typically use in the normal operation of a personal or small business website.
However, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and to not exceed 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds.
What happens if I exceed usage?
If we have concerns about your account's bandwidth utilization, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage.
It is rare for a customer who is managing a personal or small business website to exceed our usage policies.

Got questions?
Well, we've got answers.
What is web hosting and do I need it?
Every website takes up space on a physical server somewhere. Web hosting stores those files and makes your site’s content accessible to people online.
Learn more about what web hosting is, why you need it, and what options may be right for you.
What type of web hosting do I need?
It all depends on the needs of your site. For beginners and smaller sites, shared hosting is probably just right. For those who need more control, VPS or dedicated hosting is likely a better option.
Learn about the different hosting options available, and see which one is a good fit.
What’s the difference between web hosting and a website builder?
While web hosting is providing and maintaining servers, a website builder is a software tool that makes creating your website easy and effective.
Get more info on the differences, and see if you need a builder to create your site.
What is WordPress?
As the most popular tool to create websites, it’s a content management system (CMS) that develops various types of websites.
