Update Your Credit Card

Summary

The most recent credit card used to pay for the account is automatically saved as the default payment method for any future purchase or renewal unless the option to save the credit card has been unchecked during the checkout process. This article will show you how to manually update the default credit card on file.

HostGator accepts Visa, Discover (USD), Master Card and American Express.
