Just a few "silly" questions regarding Websites / Hostings, etc?

[Duncan]

1: You did not buy a domain. You rented a domain name (probably for a year). If you do not renew the rental when it expires you will no longer have access to that domain name.


2: You can usually have multiple domains associated with one hosting account. It depends on the terms and conditions used by the hosting company. With GoDaddy you are limited to just one domain with their economy package but can have an unlimited number of sites with the higher packages.

3: Most hosting companies will offer a free domain registration if you are paying for their hosting. Whatever the GoDaddy terms say is what they do.

4: Yes. See answer 2. You can have several domains that all point back to a single web site or have individual sites for each domain - the visitor being redirected to the appropriate site.

You can buy an email only account or most hosting companies provide email as part of the hosting package.

You just use the domain name you have already purchased....
