If I have a domain name, can I use it for my website with a website hosting service?
I was just wondering if it was possible to use a domain name that I may have (need to find out if I still have it.) for a website, of which I was thinking about using GoDaddy to make and host it (Ive heard good things about them, if you have heard otherwie, please post it!).
Thanks and have a nice day!

Yes you can. You might have to transfer the domain name, but as long as you have access to the domain, you CAN forward it to a website.
Yes, you can use the existing domain name with any new host. You just need to log in to your domain’s control panel and enter your new host’s name servers.
For hosting I recommend one of these: http://www.hosttell.com/
Powweb is on a 50% sale – $3.88/month ($46.56/year), and you get a free domain from them.
Godaddy doesn’t offer a free domain, but you can get one for $2.19 if you’re buying hosting from them, plus they also have a 20% discount coupon at the moment.
Also try PapaTiger.com. They are GoDaddy business partner with the same products, customer support, but lower prices.

I personally use GoDaddy, I absolutely love them, they have excellent customer support, who I have called a few times and emailed several times, as the whole web hosing and domain thing was new to me at the time, go straight to them here http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3323054-10386908 and look again, because to me they are by far the best of the best.
Have you ever thought about just opening up your own webhosting company?
