I figured this out about a year ago, the coupon code was orginally “websitemag” then “garfield”, now “cactus”.
Kelvin : Originally it would not renew, you’d cancel it and get a free domain name out of the ordeal.
Lately, HostGator realized they’ve been played badly. So, they got a new billing way where you cannot get anything for free…. it always will be $0.01, and the domain names will be added onto the initial fee. No coupon codes will give you anything for free anymore.
