If i buy a domain name from godaddy without a web hosting plan, then what?

I just want to know what would happen if i bought a certain domain name from godaddy.com without choosing one of their web hosting plans. I want to do this to save money but will it still work? Can I host it from my home computer with a basic internet connection? are there any safety concerns associated with this?

Your better off using a server farm. Meaning maybe use the services of GoDaddy for the hosting. Usually you get 1 or 2 free domains with a hosting plan. They are pretty cheap if it is a linux hosting plan. A windows hosting plan would be a little more.


Basically, about 6$ a month if your just doing a basic site with out all the bells and whistles (secure server/shopping cart).
Reply:Noooot really. You need a server. It would be VERY complicated and I'd hazzard a guess more expencive.





You don't have to get your hosting plan from the same place you get your domain name (although it makes it much more simple), but overall you should get a web hosting plan unless you're VERY tech savvy.





Go for the hosting plan.

Hosting is only 4$/month. If you can't afford it, buy your domain


name from them for $6/year. It stills gives you a 5 page website,


your own email address, etc.
Reply:Don't buy from them unless you plan on using them as your host. The savings will be less than $5 and you will spend more than $5 worth of time configuring the domain to your new host.











Try companies such as Bluehost or Startlogic.

Reply:Well the this question is like..... i just want to buy a car and i dont want to buy Gas for it...so if u dont buy Gas for the car u cant run it...therefore if u dont buy hosting space then u cant have ur website up...u will just have the domain name and u can keep it as long as u like till u r paying the yearly fees....just as it doesnt matter where u buy gas from to put in your car...it doesnt matter where u host your web site....u can host it with godaddy or someone else which u find better....

Reply:That's exactly what I do. Godaddys hosting is way too expensive.

They have hosting plans listed on there from about $4/month to $8/month.





It's pretty easy to tell GoDaddy where your hosting your files too. Shouldn't cause you any problems at all!
Reply:If you follow the trend of answers, you can host with any hosting company out there, and its best to host with another web hosting company because godaddy is too expensive. You can try http://www.gibsale.com/robb there hosting plan begins a USD 1.99/mo up to USD 9.99/mo depending on your needs.
