RSS feed from HostGator

OH SNAP! This article has been deprecated.
The RSS feed in cPanel is no longer available with the current cPanel theme.

We have added an RSS feed in all Shared Web Hosting account cPanels (not Resellers), which allows us to send server announcements directly to your cPanel. You may also subscribe to these announcements to receive them by e-mail.

RSS Updates

The following email was sent to all shared clients:

Dear Client,

We wanted to inform you of an important new feature in your HostGator control panel. A few months ago, we created an RSS feed to deliver server announcements directly within your cPanel. These announcements will contain important information about your server, such as planned maintenance. In addition, you may also choose to receive these updates by e-mail.

To subscribe, log into your control panel and click on the link titled Receive these updates via email. This link is located below the server announcements in the upper left-hand corner of your cPanel.

Please note, we will NEVER release your e-mail address under any circumstances to any third party.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time via phone or chat.

Thank you,
HostGator Support

HostGator is committed to making it easy to transfer your site to your new hosting account. We can transfer website files, databases, scripts, and one free domain registration transfer.

What qualifies me for a free transfer?

HostGator provides free transfers for new accounts within 30 days of sign-up, and to newly upgraded accounts. For upgraded accounts it must be an inter-server upgrade to qualify. Please note that downgraded accounts do not qualify for free transfers.

Depending on which type of account you sign up for, we offer differing numbers of free transfers. Please refer to the chart below to see what we include for new packages.

Full cPanel Transfers is the number of cPanel to cPanel transfers that are included.

Max. Manual Transfers is the maximum number of Manual Transfers that are included with your account.

Total Free Transfers is the total number websites that we will move for you.

Account Type	Total Free Transfers	Full cPanel Transfers	Max. Manual Transfers
?Shared	1	1²	1
?Reseller	30	30²	30
?VPS	Unlimited¹	Unlimited²	10 per VPS level
?Dedicated (Basic)	Unlimited¹	Unlimited²	75
?Dedicated (Standard, Elite, Pro)	Unlimited¹	Unlimited²	100

¹While we can do unlimited cPanel to cPanel transfers for you, depending on your account, you will have a limited number of Manual Transfers.

²Full cPanel transfers include all domains, Addon Domains, Subdomains, and cPanel settings. This will also include your emails and email accounts. Please note that this does require that your old host's cPanel backup generator to be active.

A few examples: An Aluminium Reseller account includes up to 30 free transfers. Out of this 30, you can have 20 cPanel to cPanel transfers and 10 Manual Transfers, or any combination of the two that totals 30 or less websites. Another example: A Pro Dedicated server includes unlimited cPanel to cPanel transfers, this means you can have 150 sites (or even more) moved. Also since there is an unlimited total number of transfers, you can utilize up to 100 Manual Transfers.
