Can I build an eCommerce site with the builder?
Absolutely, but you’ll need to get a topmost plan that would be slightly above the price of the base plan. The top plan allows you to include a shopping cart, eCommerce layout and a product inventory for the admin.
Can I use an existing domain that i purchased from another registrar and point it to the website builder?
Sure, you can do that. The steps remain the same. All you have to do is, point the IP and name server mentioned on the Hostgator site for the site to work.
