Hatchling Plan

The Hatchling plan is the go-to option if you are at the beginning of your journey of running a website. It supports hosting for one website name instead of unlimited websites. Like the Baby and Business plans, this is empowered with several features anyone needs to get a website up and running.

The following is a list of what is available with the Hatchling plan.

For more information about our Shared Hosting plan's features and current introductory rates, please check the HostGator Shared Hosting front-of-site.

If you are on an introductory or discounted hosting plan rate, you will remain at that price until the hosting plan renews. The hosting plan will then renew at the regular rate. For more information about the Shared hosting price list, check out this article: Shared Web Hosting Price Chart.

Free Domain

HostGator offers free domain registration for newly purchased Shared Hosting plans. You can choose 1 free domain on a 12-month or longer billing cycle. After the first year, the domain will renew at the regular annual rate.

 


Free SSL Certificate

All Shared Hosting packages include a free SSL certificate that provides security for your website domains and subdomains by encrypting communications between the server and visitors to your website and flags your site secure by displaying a padlock icon in your address bar. You can also upgrade to your SSL to one of our Premium SSL offerings, that can provide additional enhanced features.  To order your Premium SSL Certificate, please follow the directions in the article below.

You may keep the SSL as long as you are hosting with HostGator; however, like all SSL certificates, the SSL must be renewed every year from your Customer Portal's SSL Certificates section.

WordPress/Website Migration

HostGator offers WordPress/website migration. You can request website migration via your Customer Portal and get updates from our fantastic migration team. For more information regarding our website migration, please refer to this article: HostGator Website Migrations.

 


Unmetered Bandwidth

There are no hard limits on a Hatchling Plan, which is great for account owners. This means you won't be charged based on the amount of disk space or bandwidth you use. The Terms of Service only require you to use disk space and bandwidth for the regular operation of a personal or small business website.
