For security purposes, all new purchases with HostGator.com are screened for fraudulent orders.
After you pay for the hosting:
- Shared and Reseller accounts take less than 1 hour to set up.
- Dedicated servers take 24-48 hours to set up.
Upon signing up, you will receive an email stating that HostGator.com has received your order and is processing it. If you still need to pay, you will receive an email which guides you to pay the balance (must be done prior to account activation). After your order has been paid for and confirmed, you shall receive your welcome email and will be ready to publish your website online with HostGator.com.
Please note that if you wish to pay with eCheck, a regular check, money order, cash, Western Union, or EFT, it may take longer to activate your account while we wait to receive payment.

If you signup online and choose PayPal, you will notice that you are not required to pay, immediately.
This means, you must sign into your billing account and make a PayPal payment before we can activate your hosting.
You will get an email, either telling you to pay, or telling you we need more information.
