I have 3 websites that I want Hostgator to host and I want the business package for $12.95. Do I have to pay $12.95 for each website or do I pay that amount every month and can I create as many websites as I want for the same price?

Christine,
This depends on what you want, if you want an SSL for each of the sites then you would need to purchase two Business accounts. If you are just needing the free SSL for one of the sites then you can add as many domains as you wish to the account.

Hi, I want to start an e-commerce and I see that yahoo charge something called "transaction fee" on top of paypal charge for each transaction.
Is such fee common and hostgator also charges such fee? If so, how much is it?

So there are no setup fees to add additional (already registered) domains to a business account?

There is no fee to add an extra domain to any hosting type. However, you must already own the domain name or register it.
