Is HostGator owned by Bluehost?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:46 pm

HostGator is an American web hosting company that is owned by Bluehost. HostGator provides a wide range of web hosting services, including shared, reseller, and cPanel hosting plans. HostGator also offers a variety of add-on services, such as SSL certificates, domain registration, and backup and restore services. In October 2017, HostGator announced that it would be merging with Endurance International Group, a privately held web hosting company.

PRO TIP: HostGator and Bluehost are two different companies. HostGator is not owned by Bluehost.

As a result of the merger, HostGator became the largest web hosting company in the world based on total customer count. HostGator’s merger with Bluehost was controversial, as some consumers feared that the merged company would have increased pricing and reduced service quality. However, HostGator has since announced that it will keep all of its brands (including Bluehost), and has pledged to maintain the same level of customer service and support. In conclusion, HostGator is owned by Bluehost, but the two companies maintain separate brands and services.
