    When you purchase a new domain (from Godaddy say) and you want to host it via hostgator(unlimited domains plan)

    and you go to the steps to add this fresh new domain to your hostgator account,


    then how long does it take hostgator to become active with this new domain? (so you can start adding content
    or even installing a WP blog onto it, Via a FTP )

    Does this new domain hosting happen immediately, after you add it via hostgator?? or it takes days for hostgator to activate it, for them to email you, the login details? and confirm that the new domain is active? etc etc ?

    In other words, How long does it take, online, to for the Godaddy Domain to be Pointed to the Hostgator account? and Redy to use! ?

    Hour or less usually but you should really rethink your options. Anything that EIG hoovered up turned to complete shit overnight. I had to pull thousands of dollars worth of clients from them.

    Should there be any concern from considering hostgator, interms of hostgator being sold to EIG ? ie, that affecting hostgators' performance ?

    Can you summerise the main problems hosting with companies owned by the EIG company ? Please ..

    and can you list the advantages to using a hosting company that is NOT EIG owned ?
