Greetings,
We have some exciting news and updates for you this month about our new domain registry service, a sneak peek at our new upcoming domain management control panel, our billing system migration and a tour of our new HostGator Austin Office (now fully loaded, HostGator style).
Our billing system migration is nearly complete! With over 99% of our existing customer base having already been transferred, we expect to be fully migrated to our own GatorBill very shortly. This switch brings a faster and more efficient billing experience for our customers (as we’re sure you’ve already experienced). GatorBill is just one of the many new programs we have developed over the last few years to make your experience here at HostGator better than any other hosting company.
What about that registrar thing?

As many of you are aware, we announced that we would be coming out with our very own, integrated domain registration service. It’s taken us a little bit longer than we anticipated, but that’s because we’re wanting to make it right! We are working incredibly hard to bring this to you as soon as we can and we anticipate this being available within the next several weeks (beginning of 2011). This new domain registry service is going to allow you to register, transfer and manage your domain names AND your hosting all from within one control panel.
We are also working around the clock to bring out our own domain registrar, LaunchPad (Watch out GoDaddy!)! We are anticipating LaunchPad’s release within the first quarter of 2011. LaunchPad will provide all of the same support and reliability that HostGator customers have come to expect, as well as allowing clients the convenience of registering and managing all of their domains right along side their hosting. We know this is going to be great for us as well as our customers, and we simply can’t wait. Here’s an exclusive, sneak peek at our new upcoming domain management control panel:
