You'll get a better deal if you get hosting seperately.

Nearly, but not always

I have all my domains with http://www.register1.net and are hosted with http://www.todhost.net (Todhosts OcHostreview) Excellant value for money.

First domain I got from 123 Reg, second one came with hosting from Vidahost.

Both have been great so far.

Have a look at www.vidahost.com, i think youll find their prices very reasonable and ive always been highly satisfied with the service, customer service even more so.

When you sign up for hosting your host will tell you what you should set the Nameservers to - this is an option in the Godaddy control panel which in English means "where should computers look to find out where this domain is hosted"
