Default Considering joining HostGator, but a few questions first...

OK, everyone. A few questions about HostGator, but first, let me tell you what I am planning...

I am looking to set up a website, obviously, but with 2 different sections (maybe more). One section will be public, while the other will be private, requiring a password to access.

My main question is, does HostGator have an app which will allow me to automatically sell passwords for the private section? If so, what is the name? Is it included in the price? If it is, which plan is it included in? Also, will it allow my members to cancel through the same app? Does it allow recurring payments?

Thanks in advance, everyone!

You can use the hosting for business purposes as long as it is legal. There is some CMS software in Fantastico and Quickinstall that may have this functionality but I am not familiar with it. If you can provide a URL for a site that is doing what you are wanting and that may give us more info to see if we have it or something similar. Of course with software as long as you have the proper license if needed you can install it yourself also.

Hostgator is basically a Host offering PHP/MySQL hosting and you will need to find the script yourself. There are tons of membership scripts available for free or otherwise in PHP, some of which may be available in Fantastico script installer itself. HG offer great hosting, but finding a script, installing and customizing it is basically your responsibility. You might want to hire a freelancer (checkout elance.com) in case you have no technical skills.
