   "HostGator's pages disagree on renewal timing: the cancel and domain articles and the Terms say renewals are charged 15 days early (5 for monthly plans), while a July 2025 billing article says the charge is attempted on the renewal date",
   "Whether the site stays online until the renewal date after auto-renew is turned off, and how the Renewal Center confirms the change, aren't stated",
   "HostGator's cancel and billing articles don't link a step-by-step backup download guide, and no downgrade or pause option is documented on them"

    "Added the source for refunds going to the original payment method (hg43) and a PayPal tip that applies to every route (hg18)",
