DOH! Sorry pokeydots, I misread the last part of your quote as being from you :) No Bam, you don't have to tell them where you are being hosted to buy a domain. You don't even have to have a site to buy a domain. They will point the DNS (domain name server) to their server for now, and it will just give a not found error if someone types it into the addy bar (because its not really pointing anywhere, its just a "holder"). When you get a host, they will tell you what their name servers are, then you just edit your registry account and in a couple of days the update will take and you domain will resolve to your new host. I'm not familiar with godaddy.com, but I'm sure they work the same way. When you sign up with a host, you tell them the domain you've already registered, usually indicating it is a "transfer domain" instead of a "new" one. Sometimes they will have options on the sign up form to specify you will change the DNS yourself, sometimes not. If not, specify it in comments, or email them to verify that you will do it yourself. Its not a problem at all. Determining how much bandwidth you need can be hard for a new site. Large images can use up bandwidth quickly - Renderosity's bandwidth usage must be truly astronomical! 2MB is fairly small. If your site is even fairly popular and graphics heavy you can use that up pretty fast. The best thing to do is find a host with multiple plans and who makes upgrading to the next one as easy as one email. That way, when you need the extra bandwidth you don't have to change hosts to get it. The link is to my host, and they have been very good to me. Their $10/mo plan comes with 6GB of transfer, which is quite high for that price range. Their top (no reseller) plan goes up to 15GB. That's about the top end for bandwidth on a virtual hosting account. If you're using more than that, you probably need some kind of dedicated server. A good place to get fair info on hosts is in the forums at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ Finally, I definitely recommend Unix based hosting and not the security hole ridden, worm target darling of all the script kiddies, Windows the wonder sieve. Hope that's helpful.
