Someone in the US can buy it for you. I just went in chat and asked. Names taken out but everything else is left in.
Question: Hi. I have a question. Can I buy a hosting package for my friend who lives in another country and then transfer it to him? Say I buy the first month and then he takes over the account and I put it in his name?
(11:50:18pm)System:Customer has entered chat and is waiting for an agent.
(11:51:21pm).:Hi welcome to HostGator live chat.
(11:51:54pm).:Yes, you can do that. You would just need to sign up and then give them all the log in information so they can log into billing and update the account information.
(11:52:08pm)Is there a reason that they cannot sign up?
(11:52:31pm)He is just starting out and doesn't have much. I want to do it as a gift to him
(11:53:05pm)Yes, you can do that. You would just need to be sure to give them all the billing information so they can update it to their information.
(11:53:39pm):Ah, I see. Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it. Have a wonderful night
