All, I posted as a happy HostGator user a bit ago. Here is a heads up on something I did not know.
When I signed up, I started with a pay by month – thinking I could switch later for a cheaper rate (they offer cheaper rates for 6 months, a year, 3 years, etc). I had a bad experience with my prior host and was reluctant to lock in.
Well, today I tried to switch to a longer payment period, thinking I would get a cheaper rate per month.
It turns out that the cheaper rates for longer periods are only offered on NEW accounts. Once your first period is up, I was told you go to the higher rates. This is something I hadn't realized and I wanted to give a heads up to anyone considering switching….
I am paying 8.95 a month for one domain.
