How Do I Downgrade My Hosting Account?
You may downgrade your account at any time (move from your current HostGator plan to a cheaper HostGator plan). There is no contract to keep you in your plan, though we do require you to move your own data to your new account when you downgrade.
Important Note about Downgrading
Shared to Shared or Reseller to Reseller
To request a downgrade of your Shared Hosting Plan, please contact us via phone or Live Chat so that we can further assist! There may be a $10 downgrade fee
Reseller to Shared
Because Shared and Reseller plans are hosted on different servers, you do not need to use the online form. Since a server move is required, you will need to purchase a new Shared account, move your data over, propagate your name servers and then cancel the old Reseller account.
VPS to VPS
To request a downgrade of your VPS Hosting, please contact us via phone or Live Chat so that we can further assist!
Please contact us via phone or Live Chat to modify settings, but stay on the same VPS level.
VPS to non-VPS
Because VPS, Reseller and Shared plans are hosted on different servers, when you downgrade from VPS to Reseller or Shared, you cannot use the downgrade form on our website. Since a server move is required, you must purchase the new plan, move your data over, propagate your name servers and then cancel the old plan.
Dedicated to Any Type of Account
When you downgrade from (or to) a Dedicated Server, you cannot use the downgrade form on our website. Since this process will require a server move, you must purchase the new server or plan, move your data over, propagate your name servers and then cancel the old plan.
