Can I Buy a Domain Name Without Hosting
Yes! You can absolutely buy a domain without hosting. You do not need a hosting plan to register a domain name. If you want to buy a domain name separately or secure a URL before setting up your website, HostGator makes it easy.
You can register your domain directly at hostgator.com/domains or within the Customer Portal.
Purchasing a new domain (or any hosting product) within the Customer Portal depends on your user role permissions. For more details, visit the Customer Portal - Account and User Role Permissions article.
