Hostgator Is Extorting Me, Help !!!! by Nobody: 8:21am On Jun 14, 2018
Every month hosgator is deducting over N4000 from my account linked with papal. I wanted to buy SSL certificate and they're demanding $20 meanwhile there are many host providers give it to for free to their clients. I want to move my site to another host this month so this extortion will just stop. Please webmasters suggest a good and affordable webhost company for me. Thanks

First and foremost, you need o deactivate auto-billing. That should be the reason why they are charging you that much.

Hostgator is a decent host but a bit on the expensive side. You can try Namecheap or Hawkhost.

Hi,

1) deactivate auto billing for your purchased services.

2) purchase services only on a yearly basis instead of Bi/quaterly....meaning, renew your domains for a year minimum / multiple years. Purchase your hosting for a year / multiple years. Its even cheaper that way. Else, your bank will begin to use your account for sara, they will be deducting service charges everytime you make purchases.

3) for each service you buy, request for an invoice, instead of automatic deductions.

I maintain servers for some customers on Hostgator and no issues with them.

If you need help with hosting/payments on hostgator, I can purchase the servers for you for much cheaper costs. I have credit with them.

Hi,

depending on the Hostgator package, you calculate the 12-months span.

You can order SSL certificates directly from within your HG control panel.

If you need some help, msg me on whatsapp, details in my signature.
