Well I'm considering starting a website, and I would like to know a few things. I know a bit of html and the basics to making a site having done it a lot in my early days using free hosts such as angelfire and tripod.

Now I would like something a bit more profession with a .com address. My first question is, do you register a provider first, or the domain name? I really dont know how this sort of thing works. If someone could lay it out for me that'd be great.

Also, is GoDaddy.com worth checking into? They have a 1 month plan for like 3.95 which gives me 200 GB Transfer and 4 Gigs of diskspace. Both of which I believe to be far more than I need.

Thanks in advance guys!
