HostGator is so confident about its services that it offers the first month hosting for almost free. You have to pay just 1 cent to prove that you are not a spammer.

It’s an exclusive offer for [current_date format=Y]. You can also consider this offer as a 1-month free trial. By taking this offer, you can give a test drive on HostGator. If you like the service, then you may continue with them. Otherwise, you can cancel your account at any time.

Follow These Steps To Get 1 Cent Hosting

Step 1: Click this link to visit HostGator Penny Offer Page. And then click on “Start Your Site Now” button.

Step 2: Then you need to enter you domain name. Here’s an important thing you need to know. HostGator offers discount on web hosting only, not on domain name. If you buy a domain from HostGator, you will have to pay around $13.

​I’d recommend you to buy domain name from GoDaddy. Yes, you can buy domain and web hosting separately and connect together later. 

For the sake of this tutorial, I assume that you already own a domain name. Just select “I Already Own This Domain” and enter your domain name.

Step 3: Now you need to choose a hosting plan. HostGator offers 3 plans – Hatchling, Baby, & Business. 

The basic difference between Hatchling Plan and Baby Plan is, Baby Plan offers unlimited domain hosting where Hatchling plan only allows you to host one domain. Business Plan is designed for business and service-oriented site.

If I were you, I’d choose Baby Plan as it offers unlimited websites hosting.

Just select the ‘Package Type’ and keep ‘Billing Cycle’ as 1 month. And enter username and security PIN.​

Step 4: Then enter you billing information and select a payment type (Credit Card or Paypal) from the right-side. If you select Paypal as a payment method, you will be taken to the Paypal payment page.

Step 5: HostGator offers some additional services like SiteLock Monitoring, Professional Email, Site Backup, SSL Certificate, etc with extra cost. Uncheck all the boxes and save some money.

Step 6: You don’t have to change the coupon code. But if you want, you can use our HostGator 1 cent coupon “RTBPENNYHOSTING“. 

Make sure that you are going to pay only 1 cent for hosting. If you don’t buy the domain name from HostGator, then your due will be $0.01.

Step 7: Check the box “I have read and agree to the Terms of Service, Cancellation Policy, and Privacy Policy” and click on “Checkout now” and complete your payment.

That’s it. You are done. You will get your account details at your email box.
