Default Address, Catchall

What is the default address?

It is a catchall mailbox that receives all emails written to a non-existing name @ your domain.

Why is this disabled?

We disable Default Address because if you don't know how to use it, it can cause your account to flood with email.

How do I enable it?

Please contact HostGator via phone or live chat and ask for your "catchall email to be enabled."

Once enabled, what do I do?

Set every catchall to :fail: no such address here. This will prevent your account from filling up with unnoticed spam.

If you have read our knowledge base and still have questions or need more information, please contact us via phone or live chat for immediate assistance.
