Thanks so much!!! I will definatly have to check with the ISP about the bandwidth, im not sure he (my dad) checked that. (Although, im not sure what our set-up is. He does a LOT of work from home (for SAIC) sending encripted stuff back and forth and reciving huge files that take all day. I will look into it.) About the cash issue: I will look over the plans for sure, i must have miss-read the prises (i was thinking hundreds). I do a lot of paintball with my school band (nothing official, just recriational) and that, in addition to the XBox and XBox Live (which is where i got xXAlmightyBobXx, if anyone has Live) drains almost all of may cash. I also take periodic trips to Germany, and i must pay 1/2 my way (yay mom being nice). Thanks again, i think im about as green as they come as far as inter-web... net... things... IP's... whatever... go. Thanks again!!! PS- this is the only place i could find that actually gives you the domain you buy!!! all the others just say "we will keep rights of the name to... uuu... help with many things... uuu... you can't understand."

My question is simple: Can i buy a domain name from this site (or any other) but not host it on this site? I need to own the name (which is why im here, correct if wrong) but i will host the web-page on a dedicated computer at my house. Can i only buy or do i have to host it here too? Or, can i buy, host, and then quit and take my name with me??? Please help... im new at this !!! Thanks (not to be meen, i love the site!!! it's just my dad is going to buy a dedicated computer and it is hard for a High School student to get the $$$ needed to host it on any kind of good, helpfull server.)
