I just want to know if a discount coupon released by Hostgator affiliate is available a limited period of time or it expires after few months after it was created by the affiliate?

Also they have a rule in their TOS: "Commissions can be earned per each new client referred through the unique affiliate link. An existing customer, defined by any client who has had an existing account with us at anytime in the past, would not be eligible for a commission with the program." What do they want to say by this - that I, as an affiliate can not have a website hosted by Hostgator, or that the clients referred by me, must have not any present or past hosting account with Hostgator?

Look where you picked up the coupon code - it should tell you if it's ongoing or if there's an expiration date. If you're not sure, shoot an email to the aff. manager.

As for the TOS, what they're saying is that you only get commission for NEW customers. If someone has had an account with them in the past and opens a new one through your aff code you won't get credit for the sale because they're a returning customer.

I asked from an affiliate point of view - can I, as an affiliate to make unlimited in time discount coupons? Or all the coupons I create will expire after one or more months? I asked their affiliate customer support department 3 days ago, but still no answer as they are overloaded I think... That's why I'm asking here.

And a last question. I just created a 25% discount coupon. As far as I can see, Hostgator cheapest hosting plan is Hatchling, where you can buy a 3 years hosting service for a price of $3.96 x 36 = $142.56

The 25% discount will apply to this amount? Or this amount is already discounted (they have an official spring coupon of 20% as I can see on their website...)
It means that my client will pay only 0.75 x $142.56 = $106.92 or not?
