Few days back I talked about Namecheap domain hosting coupon code, and I started hosting my domain name with Namecheap.

I also bought a hostgator hosting, I have already an unlimited domain account with dreamhost , though I wanted to try other hosting and I went with Hostgator..(Read my review of Hostgator) .This post is for all those who register domain using namecheap and hosting through Hostgator.
