Getting Domain Names from Host Gator

Question: Is Host Gator just a hosting service or does it provide domain names also?

Answer:  Domain names at HostGator cost $15, but they are not an accredited domain registrar.  They have to go through another company and then pad the price and sell them to you.  Cut out the middle man and get your domain directly from an accredited registrar like NameCheap.  Use the NameCheap coupon code on that page to get them for hella cheap, including free privacy protection.
