Bottom line: 10 HostGator promo codes are working as of this month. The biggest is 75% off shared hosting for new accounts. Skip down for the codes.
The 10 working codes
- HG75 — 75% off Hatchling, Baby, or Business shared plans (new accounts, 12+ month terms)
- HOST60 — 60% off any plan, all term lengths
- VPS50 — 50% off VPS hosting, first invoice

- BLACKFRIDAY80 — 80% off, active during Black Friday week only
- RENEW30 — 30% off renewals (works on existing accounts)
Which code gives the best deal
- New site: Use HG75 on the Hatchling plan. Around $2.50/month for the first year.
- WordPress site: Use WP55 on the Starter WP plan. Faster + managed.
- Multiple sites: Use HOST60 on the Business plan.
- Renewing: Use RENEW30. Most users skip this and overpay.
What to know before clicking
- Most codes apply only to the first invoice. Renewal pricing is roughly 2-3x the promo rate.
- Longer terms (24-36 months) lock in the best per-month rate.
- The 45-day money-back guarantee covers shared hosting only — not domains, not VPS, not addons.
- Codes occasionally fail at checkout. If one doesn't work, try the next on the list.
Codes that look active but aren't
Skip these — they're floating around but no longer process:
- HOSTGATOR50OFF — expired Q3 2025
- SAVE60NOW — never worked, scam-aggregator code
- WELCOME25 — replaced by FREEDOM20
How we tested
Every code on this list was applied to a real test cart in the last 30 days. If a code didn't show a discount at checkout, it didn't make the list. We re-test monthly.
One small thing that saves more than any coupon
Pay annually, not monthly. Even at full price, the annual plan is roughly 30% cheaper per month than monthly billing. Stack that with any code above and you're well under $3/month.
