Well. Yesterday I bought 4 .co m domains in Hostgator, with promo code, they cost 2.99 each, and 11,96 in total. Happy, I paid with credit card, registering new account. Then I received an email and they said "pls. call us to activate your domains and to verify your account". OK, I speak with their support, the guy said "OK", you will received an email...
NOW, I READ it, and I think that they blackmaiked me! Take a look here:
......."""Thank you for your purchase with HostGator.
Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that the discount you have signed up using is only applicable to orders which include a hosting package and domain registration. Because your order for these domain(s) does not include correlating hosting plan(s), we will be unable to honor the original discount, and you must pay the standard price for any domains.
At this time we would like to ask that you please confirm if you are interested in purchasing hosting plans for each of your domains, which would allow us to honor the original discount. You would receive the hosting plan at the original advertised price of 65% off, along with the correlating domain for 99 cents. We have many plans available to suit your needs - please review themat https://www.hostgator.com/ . If you are uninterested in purchasing correlating hosting package(s) for any domain registration(s), the new price for your domains differs depending on the TLD. With this price difference taken into consideration, your new prorated total for the domain registration(s) is: $51.80.

What can I do? This is blackmail, Isn't it?

Also link them to this thread and tell them their "reputation" is on the line........

I for one will definitely stay away after reading this thread regardless of what promo they have on.

Never register domains with them.

One of my friend ordered a dozen domains, payment went domains were pending and after two days they asked for ID verification. After verification they replied they cannot activate domains because you didn't purchased hosting with them.

Then they said they couldn't verify your account and therefore they cannot provide domains.

They're garbage. If they cannot provide domain or reason was hosting then they shouldn't have asked ID first and denied the domains. A lie after lie.

So avoid them and use any other registrar.

I previously tried to transfer domains to HostGator but their site was not working.... Was not able to pay for the transaction... The cart was broken lol... I have tried to contact support... No answer given...

Today, I reg around 10 domains in Hostgator with this code (2.99$ per domain), using my Paypal.

No pending, no problem and very fast reg. The registrar is Launchpad, Inc.

I have an account in Hostgator than 6 years ago and purchased 01 month VPS package only

Good thing I am able to pay for the domains at $2.99 each It takes about 10 minutes for HostGator to register them

Maybe you should be more observant next time.. read and understand.. then only take action.

It is clearly stated at their website(front page) the $2.99 .com only valid if you buy their hosting package. Clearly stated at the top and bottom of the front page.
