I registered my domain on Namecheap and I got WhoisGuard at no additional cost, maybe it's only for the first year though? I made sure it was actually no additional cost by removing it to see the total and it was still the same price, $11/year. I say "no additional cost" but it might actually be more like "bundled cost."

Namecheap is free for first year but you have to pay for any additional years.
