LOL ... Reply from Hostgator guy
Yo, I'm actually an employee of hostgator.. Tonight was pretty fun, thanks guys. The coupon was actually meant to be for customers of some other hosting company that we worked out a deal with, now they're all SOL. Moral of the story, don't give out an easily replicable coupon code when you're trying to work out a deal under the table...
The coupon was actually limited use from the get-go, and no coupons of ours will cover domain registration. So bad news guys, even if the invoice showed $0 after the order went through, you'll still be getting an invoice for $15 for the domain registration tomorrow..
Just for what it's worth, the coupon had, I believe, around 1800 uses, and it was gone in just over an hour. Go team internet! The coolest part about this is that I didn't even know about this coupon until a customer came in to our chat and sent me a link to this post, im just sad i didnt get home in time to use it.. Check back tho on Black Friday cuz last year we offered a coupon for 75% off the initial purchase, which can be used on hosting for up to 36 months paid-ahead

Ahhhh fcuk! I didn't notice that
I only got 1month free then rebills @ $8.95/mo. I'm so fcukin stuuuuuupiddddddddddddd!Btw, where do I login cpanel? I can still login here: https://secure.hostgator.com/~billing/ I doubt that's cpanel though.
And if I don't pay hosting after the 1st month. Do I still keep my domain? Just in case they don't cancel all those that got the promo whether a 2ip customer or not?
