Since we have a HostGator account, do we have access to free domain names?
Can someone let me know if we can get free domain names for clients since we have an account with them? Do you have discounts on these domains?
If we are changing domain names for a client, shouldn’t we be responsible for purchasing it too?

We pay hostgator just like they do. On top of that, we add extra services — security monitoring and WP and plugin upgrades.
We are not a registrar. We simply provide add-ons to hosting and package it all in a hosting package that is more affordable and more secure than if they were to obtain those services on their own.
So, no… we don’t get involved in the domain name acquisition game. They can do that on their own.

There is really no such thing as changing domain names. You buy a new one and discard the old. We make a recommendation on what we think is best and they agree or not.
If they don’t want to go to their registrar and purchase a new domain name, we can do it for them in their account with their credit card for our hourly fee.
Domain names are very cheap. We are spending more money talking about than the domain name costs 🙂
