Well, Hostgator domains are few bucks more expensive. But Hostgator really kicks as so it's worth it.
If ou do set up a clothing site lemme know as we could trade links! www.buy-tees.net os my domain - take a look - yes it's new too so we can build pr together lol
$5000? That's quite a lot for web design. Shop around - you can get a good e-commerce website built for far less than that...
yeah $5000 is over budget especially if youre just starting out. seriously try volusion.com they have some nice templates that you can just redesign to fit your style.
