This month we have a new HostGator coupon code that gives 20% off the first order. This winter coupon is “SNOWMAN” and it will expire on 1st of January.

If you want to start an online e-commerce site you should know that you don’t have to sell only physical products, digital products like music, photos or software are also a reliable option. Setting up an online shopping cart is now a lot easier and with a few clicks from the comfort of the HostGator cPanel Fantastico you can install CubeCart, Zen-Cart or osCommerce which are free.

Planning to accept payments from customers through credit cards? No problem, HostGator offers a SSL certificate for $50 per year which is needed to secure the http connection from your site to clients. Also you’ll need a dedicated IP address which is $2 per month. If you’re using the Baby or Hatchling plans you can get both of this free by upgrading to the Business hosting plan.
