HostGator Customer Portal Preview

 

HostGator has developed a new Customer Portal with a billing and support system that allows you to manage everything related to your HostGator account. Please visit the Customer Portal Overview for more details.

Note: For your account's security purposes, only one admin user is allowed in your Customer Portal and cPanel. It does not have a feature that enables the creation of another user profile.

The Customer Portal and cPanel systems can be accessed individually. This way, you can give a web developer, friend, or associate access to your hosting control panel to build or update your website without giving them access to your billing information within the Customer Portal. Then you can reset the cPanel password when you no longer want them to have access.

This article will discuss the following topics about your Customer Portal.


Start Live Chat

Here at HostGator, we want you to be successful in your online business and enjoy your web hosting journey with us. If you require assistance, click the Start Live Chat icon at the top-right corner of your Customer Portal. This will launch a chat pop-up window at the bottom right section of your web browser.
