Single Sign-On

The Customer Portal is your one-stop-shop for managing your billing and hosting account. In this article, we're going to discuss the Single Sign-On feature, but for a tour of the Customer Portal and all of its other great features, you can view our webinar about The New Portal Experience!


Accessing Your Main Dashboard

Note: If you cannot remember your password, click on the Forgot Password link below the login area, then follow the instructions emailed to the primary email address on file.
  1. Log into your Customer Portal at https://portal.hostgator.com/
  2. While you're provided with separate logins for the Customer Portal and cPanel, so that you can share access to the cPanel without granting access to your billing information, we've simplified the process of accessing the control panel for the account owner so that you don't have to sign in multiple times. Under the Control Panel column are links to different sections of your cPanel.
