Customer Portal - How to Log In
When you first signed up for your HostGator hosting account, you received a Welcome Email containing your Customer Portal login details and cPanel login information. For security, the login credentials for your billing area and hosting control panel are different. Although your cPanel and billing dashboard can still be accessed individually, HostGator has now introduced Single Sign‑On (SSO) to make account access easier.
How to Log in to the Customer Portal
With HostGator Single Sign‑On, you can review invoices, manage your hosting settings, and access both your cPanel and Billing Portal using just one login.
Access SSO here: https://www.hostgator.com/my-account/login
More details about HostGator's Single Sign‑On can be found here: Single Sign-On.
