The best way to use these coupons is to apply the 25% coupon on a payment cycle of 6+ months as this will save you big or just use the $9.95 coupon if you are paying monthly.

Use your hostgator business coupon to get ready for some serious online business
Many online businesses start out quite modestly. In fact, many ecommerce stores and specialty online retail shops were started by people who made their money doing completely different things online. It is not unusual to see people who used to run free blogs on multiply, blogger.com, wordpress.com, or tumblr take the next step and set up their own store online. After all, people do get tired, and a little bit embarrassed, referring serious business customers to a free host.
While there are many ways business people can dress up their free pages and free blogs to make them look more 'professional,' at the end of the day, the main domain of the free site gives them away and make their business look unprofessional. Put it another way, who would you rather buy from: a person who has his own store or someone who hawks stuff at you from a flea market stall? Regardless, before you use your hostgator business plan coupon to level up and get your own self-hosted business site, you need to consider the following questions before you take the big step. These questions help you if you are ready for your own stand alone website.
How much volume does your business generate?
While it is tempting to rush out and get business class hosting to replace your current free host arrangement, this might not be the solution for all online businesses. It won't make much financial sense if you aren't really selling much off your free hosted site. If this is the case and you have a low volume of sales, it probably makes better sense to use your free site to learn what you need to learn to boost your sales numbers. Once you have mastered the art of online selling, then, and only then, it makes sense to level up to business hosting. Don't rush out to get a Ferrari when you can barely drive.
Are you going to do business to business (B2B) transactions?
Even if you aren't generating much sales, there are some types of online businesses that require a standalone business plan hosting package. For example, if you are offering professional services online, you would look more professional if you actually had your own custom domain and your own hosting. If you were reselling hosting services, you would look more credible if you were using a business hosting package.
How picky is your market demographic?
Similar to the B2B consideration discussed above, your target market can dictate whether you need to be on a hosting package or not. For example, if you were just selling specialty t-shirts to Justin Bieber fans, you might get away with hosting your site on a free store builder type of site. However, if you are charging a lot of money for your services or products, or you are catering to professionals, you might need to take the next step and get a business level hosting package even if you are just starting out. You won't get anywhere with free hosting if your target demographic expects free hosting.

Keep in mind that all hostgator coupons are only valid for the first invoice - they do not offer a recurring discount but once you experience their service quality paying more on your next invoice becomes a non-issue.
