The company was founded in October of 2002 by Brent Oxley. Oxley was a student at Florida Atlantic University then.

In 2008, HostGator was ranked 21 in the Inc. Magazine’s fastest-growing companies. The company also reached 100,000 customers in the middle of 2008, with the second hundred thousand occurring in September of 2009.
In 2012, HostGator was acquired by Endurance International Group (EIG) for $300 million. After the acquisition, the company accelerated its global expansion. EIG launched local HostGator sites in various countries, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, Turkey, and Mexico.
