For Hostgator FAQ or any questions about hostgator webhosting or hostgator sales read this query posted by nsf on 09 August 2006

Had to register with the forum as it wouldn’t let me post otherwise, but I don’t have a Hostgator account yet - hopefully very soon - I hope this is OK. I also hope you realize that it’s impossible to post in the public forum without registering, although it says anyone can post here (Quote: “please feel free to post in our Pre-Sales Questions and Suggestions forums where registration is not required”). That is just not possible, so either you should change how the public forum works (i.e make it so it really doesn’t require registering) or put a notice that you don’t allow people posting in the public forum unless they are already customers - which, considering this is a forum for pre-sales questions, would defy the object.

Anyways, on to the questions….

I’ve been considering Hostgator for a reseller account for quite some time and I had planned on going ahead in the very next future. However at the moment I am considering buying a HG reseller account not from HG directly, but from a guy who is a reseller with Hostgator. So that would basically mean that I would become a Hostgator customer (reseller) by taking over his account, he would sell his reseller account to me. Also, this guy has a handful a clients, so they would become my customers.

If I was to go ahead with this, I’d like to be sure about it and I am not too sure about what’s involved in this transfer process (I couldn’t find much info here), so I thought I’d check with you directly:

1. First of all, can this be done (he said it can)?

2. If this is possible, I was a bit concerned about the other stuff that comes with Hostgator’s reseller accounts - the free billing manager by whmautopilot, and the free eNom domain reseller account as mentioned on the http://www.hostgator.com/resellers.shtml page. Since he is not using WHM Autopilot but another billing solution, I asked him about this - ie. whether it would come with the package that I would get. He said that the hosting account can be transferred, the whmautopilot is licensed to the reseller account as long as it is hosted with Hostgator so this is also transferred. Can you confirm this?

3. I was also a bit concerned about the free eNom domain reseller account, which I would not want to lose. I asked him about it but he wasn’t sure. I think he didn’t use it, so in that case would I be able to?

4. Last questions is about the eNom account: On the eNom Domain Reseller Request Form (http://www.hostgator.com/enom.php) you have a check box with the question “Activate Reseller Status?” and a link “to find out more about this feature before checking this box”. I found this a bit confusing because the link leads to a page saying that I should check the box “If you wish to upgrade to the higher enom reseller level” - ie. it doesn’t say anything about activation as such. Or am I missing something? So if I don’t want to upgrade to the higher eNom reseller level, should I leave the box unchecked and the account will still be activated? It’s not very clear.

I would appreciate your answers to these questions, as I had a look on this forum but most questions are about domain and hosting transfers, not account ownership transfer.
