Domain Registration Services from Host Gator

I finally registered a domain name for this blog, through Host Gator's new registrar service; Registry Rocket. As with most things economic, I prefer to go local., so it made sense. Host Gator takes care of a few other sites I set up, and I've been more than happy.

The registry isn't that new, this is simply the first time I've had need for a new domain name since then, though I have transferred a few existing ones already. 

Call it a "dot-com name," a URL, or a domain. Whatever you call it, it's the cornerstone of your online presence, and we make getting one easy. Simply enter the name you want in the search field above, and we'll tell you instantly whether the name is available. If it's available, you pay a single fee that is renewable every year, and the name is yours.

Free Services

We don't nickel-and-dime you. All of these value-added services are included in your annual domain name fee.
FREE Domain Name Control Panel - Our simple and powerful control panel puts you in charge, letting you manage your domain name whenever you want, from one place.
FREE Domain Forwarding - Have multiple domain names or another name that is long or confusing? Redirect them to a single, more memorably named site.
FREE Sub-Domains - Get the most out of your domain name by hosting other sites on different sub-domains (called "host records). For example, you can have www.example.com as your main site, and have a different site at sales.example.com
FREE Registrar Lock - Avoid any transfer mistakes and the loss of your domain. If a domain name has "register lock" turned on, transfers won't be able to go through until you turn it off.

Why our domain names are more reliable.

DNS stands for "domain name server." A domain name server is the computer (or one of several) that "serves" requests for your Web site or email address. Think of a DNS as the battery for your domain name. The more powerful the DNS, the more likely people will be able to see your site, send you email, etc. If the DNS isn't strong enough, people may have trouble reaching you.
Most companies offer customers one or two domain servers -- one main server, and one for backup. When you register your domain name with us, your domain name is backed by six servers distributed around the U.S. The result? Superior connectivity and reliability.
