Customer Portal - How to Login

 

When you originally signed up for your account, you received a Welcome Email containing your Customer Portal login and cPanel login information. For security reasons, the login information for the billing area is different from your hosting control panel. While your cPanel and billing area are still accessible individually through their own unique credentials, HostGator has now introduced Single Sign-On.

This article discusses the following topics:

Single Sign-On

Single Sign-On will allow you to review your invoices and navigate through both your cPanel and Billing area with ease, just by logging in at https://portal.hostgator.com/. More information about HostGator's new Single Sign-On option can be found in the following article:

Still not working?

If you're still unable to log in:

  • Ensure you are using the primary email address (the email you gave during signup).
  • Enter your email address in all lowercase.
  • Remember that the password is case-sensitive. Make sure your caps lock is off.
  • Be careful when you copy and paste. It is easy to inadvertently copy extra blank spaces at the beginning or end of your password.
