Answer 2

Ok, so now you've bought your domains (you can add "domain privacy" if you don't want to be listed in the whois database), you'll also need to arrange hosting. Go Daddy offer this or you could find a different company to do it for you.



Once you've got hosting setup you'll need to input the DNS details in the GoDaddy interface, so you'll need to know the IP address of your host plus the nameserver.



If you get stuck, it might be worth giving GoDaddy support a call, as they should be able to talk you through the process.



Good luck.

Answer 3

Godaddy is terrible, be ready to receive tonnes of spam, they also give out all your information to anyone that knows how to use WHOIS.



You now have to get hosting, 000webhost is a good option, then you set the namer servers at the go daddy options menu, and use 000webhost's builder to build your site, 000webhost has a great customer service, they will help you start off for free, or build it for you for a fee(not sure how much)
