Doesn't TotalChoiceHosting resell domain names through GoDaddy?

Actually, it seems that you do need to give a domain name when signing up for a normal hosting account, so I guess I'll be doing the domain name registration first.

Thanks, Leezard. The company I work for actually signed up for a semi-dedicated plan here a while ago, and I remember being able to access our web space with an IP number and account name, but I wasn't sure if it would be the same for one of the normal plans. In any case, I'll sign up here for web hosting first, and if it ends up being necessary to have a domain name then I'll register one. Thanks everyone.

I'm familiar with registering domain names since I've had to do that at work (along with transfering other domain names from uncooperative registrants... Grrrr!), but I'd prefer to not do that until there's one that I like, that I'd want for a long time, and that's not already taken. If I need to then I'll get one now; I'd just like to make sure that there aren't any other options.

At some point I'd like to have my own web site and domain name, but for now all I need is some space to host a few files. Would I have to have a domain name to use a hosting plan here, or would I be able to access my files with a URL like http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/~jtownzen/ or something similar?
