Domain Name Transfer
People often confuse transferring with changing their domain name server address. Transferring your domain is typically done when you sell your domain name to someone else or you change your registrar company, i.e., from GoDaddy to Namecheap, etc. Going back to the analogy, this would be like selling your house and then you have to register that sale with the county or provincial government body.

Hi Tim, if you are planning on hosting here, you can simply use the provision here to get your domain name.
In the training: How to Setup a Website You can also choose to use a domain registrar company. The big three are:
GoDaddy.com
NameCheap.com
1and1.com
You can still do your hosting here with these registrars if you want to.
For the most part, they will all allow you to register your domain. So, it's a matter of pricing them out and making a choice.
I use GoDaddy.com and haven't had too much trouble with them. I don't use any other of their services.
I wouldn't focus too much attention on who you pick. It will hold you back from developing your business.
Best Regards,
Jim

If a person buys a domain name w/WA but stops subscribing to WA, do they keep the domain name at the same price each year? Or do they lose the domain name, when they quit WA?

Hey Robert, I don't have the answer to that question, and it's a good one. My suggestion would be to reach out to support and ask them directly. When you get your answer, let us know here on this comment thread.

Hey Dori,
The themes that are offered here are really directly from Wordpress.org so you are free to use them on your hostgator website. Hostgator usually gives 45 day money back so that is another option as well.
