Hostgator Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Based on previous years, HostGator typically extends its Black Friday event through Cyber Monday, wrapping up its biggest discounts of the year at that point. Still, if you missed the early deals, Cyber Monday is usually your last chance to grab those savings before prices return to normal.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

If HostGator sticks to its usual schedule, the sale will start on Saturday, November 22, 2025, and run through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. So you can expect roughly ten days of discounts, exclusively at hostgator.com, on hosting and related services before things reset to regular pricing.

Typically, How Deep Are the Discounts?

HostGator’s holiday pricing is known for being some of its lowest of the year. In 2024, discounts reached up to 79% off select hosting plans, and similar numbers are expected for 2025, likely between 75% and 79% off.

The discounts generally apply to the first billing term, whether that’s 12, 24, or 36 months. The longer the commitment, the lower your monthly rate will be. When the initial period ends, renewal pricing returns to standard rates, but the upfront savings can still be substantial if you’re just getting started or running a short-term project.

What Plans Are Likely to Be Discounted?

Cyber Monday 2025 should feature the same plans that appeared in HostGator’s Black Friday lineup. Based on last year’s pricing, here’s what you can expect:

  • Hatchling Plan: The entry-level plan, perfect for one website. In 2024, it dropped to $2.75 per month (renewing at $10.99). It included a free SSL certificate and unmetered bandwidth.
  • Baby Plan: Great for multiple sites. Priced at $3.50 per month last year, renewing at $16.49.
  • Business Plan: Built for heavier use, with added perks like a dedicated IP and SEO tools. Last year’s sale brought it down to $5.25 per month, renewing at $21.99.

All of these rates were available for the maximum 36-month term. Shorter terms usually cost more per month, even during the sale.

Extra Products and Add-ons

HostGator often goes beyond just shared hosting during its big seasonal promotion. Past events have included markdowns on:

  • WordPress Hosting
  • VPS Hosting
  • Dedicated Servers
  • Website Builder Packages
  • Domain Names

Some plans even included a free domain for the first year, provided you chose a 12-month plan or longer. Keep in mind that add-ons like email hosting, site security, or automated backups may also be discounted but aren’t always bundled automatically.

Important Details Before You Buy

A few extra things to keep in mind if you’re planning to buy during the Cyber Monday extension:

  • Refund Policy: HostGator typically includes a 45-day money-back guarantee for shared hosting.
  • Add-ons: Certain features like professional email, backups, and extra security may need to be purchased separately.
  • Billing Cycles: The largest discounts usually apply when you pay for multiple years upfront.
  • Reliability: HostGator advertises a 99.9% uptime guarantee and offers 24/7 support via chat and phone.

Hollister Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Hollister’s upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale will likely once again roll straight through Cyber Monday. Here’s everything we’re predicting to see this year.

Will Hollister Have a Separate Cyber Monday 2025 Sale?

Hollister generally doesn’t launch a completely new sale just for Cyber Monday. Instead, the brand typically keeps its Black Friday offers active through the end of Cyber Monday itself, which this year falls on Monday, December 1, 2025.

Hollister tends to kick off its big holiday event on the weekend before Thanksgiving. For 2025, that would mean the event should kick off on or around Saturday, November 22, 2025.

Once it begins, you’ll be able ot shop in-stores and at hollisterco.com. Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister’s sister brand, usually follows the same sales schedule.

What Kind of Discounts to Expect

The main promotion is expected to be 30% off nearly everything, a familiar deal that Hollister has stuck with for several Black Fridays in a row. The discount usually applies both online and in stores.

While Cyber Monday doesn’t always bring additional markdowns, Hollister occasionally spices things up. In 2024, they added an extra 20% off select items for online shoppers on Cyber Monday. If that trend continues, expect a few special online-only offers, though the base 30% off will likely remain the main attraction.

Typical Rules and Restrictions

One thing Hollister shoppers should remember: promo codes don’t work during this sale period. That includes welcome discounts from the Club Cali loyalty program, email sign-up coupons, or influencer codes shared on social media.

As soon as the Black Friday sale goes live, all standard codes are disabled, and that policy stays in effect through Cyber Monday. Hollister is consistent about this each year, so plan your purchases around the automatic markdowns instead of trying to stack discounts.

Free Gift Possibilities

Some years, Hollister has added a free gift promotion during its sale, though this isn’t guaranteed. If it appears again in 2025, expect something small but fun (i.e. mini fragrances, tote bags, or socks). These extras usually come while supplies last and are limited to one per customer.

Item Limits and Exclusions

Hollister sometimes enforces quantity restrictions during the Black Friday–Cyber Monday stretch to prevent bulk buying or reselling. Everyday shoppers won’t likely notice this, but orders containing multiples of the same product might be flagged.

Certain items and fees also won’t qualify for the discount, including:

  • Gift cards
  • Clearance merchandise
  • Gift wrapping
  • Shipping and taxes

Here’s What Went on Sale Last Year

To get an idea of what might return in 2025, here are some examples from last year’s event:

  • Ultra High-Rise Super Skinny Jeans: $59.95 → $41.96
  • Icon Mockneck Sweater: $49.95 → $34.96
  • Faux Fur-Lined Puffer Jacket: $99.95 → $69.96
  • Hollister Wave Body Spray: $14.95 → $10.46
  • Men’s Flannel Shirts: $39.95 → $27.96

Harry & David Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Harry & David’s Cyber Monday sale is typically one of the brand’s biggest events of the year, and 2025 will likely follow the same pattern. If you’re planning to order some of their signature gourmet gifts or fruit baskets this holiday season, then here’s a look at what’s coming and when.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

The Cyber Monday 2025 event will likely start on Monday, December 1, 2025, and run through Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Based on how Harry & David handled it last year, the sale should last two full days and take place entirely online at harryanddavid.com. Some of the best offers usually go live at the very start of the event and remain available only while supplies last, so it’s smart to shop early.

Typical Discounts and Promo Codes

You can expect discounts of up to 50% off on select items, similar to what Harry & David usually offers during Black Friday weekend. In addition to markdowns, a sitewide promo code will probably be available again. Last year, the deal was $75 off any order of $200 or more with the code VIP75HD.

Shipping fees are typically based on regular prices, not sale prices, and taxes are calculated separately. Discounts usually can’t be combined with other promotions, applied to past purchases, or used on gift cards, clearance items, or alcohol products. Everything is available only while supplies last.

What to Expect on Sale

Harry & David is best known for gourmet gifts, fruit boxes, and bakery items, and those are the categories that typically get the best discounts. You’ll likely see deals on:

  • The Favorite Royal Riviera Pears, which were $29.99 last year (normally $39.99) and advertised as their “Best Price of the Year.”

  • Gift towers and baskets, including snack assortments, nuts, and chocolate combinations, often 30–50% off.

  • Bakery and dessert gifts, such as cakes, cookies, and truffles, with prices cut by up to 40%.

  • Charcuterie and cheese collections, sometimes bundled with fruit or sweets.

  • Gourmet pantry items like jams, sauces, and spreads, which usually see smaller markdowns around 20–30%.

Most of the deeper discounts tend to be on their most popular items (i.e. pear gifts, chocolate assortments, and tower sets) while seasonal or specialty items may only get modest price drops.
