Godaddy.com is primarily a website in which you buy a URL link from. For example, Dar bought

www.potterforums.com from some URL website, like Godaddy.com. Or at least that's all it was when I last used it.

To make a REAL website, you need to know HTML for starters, and then the more advanced stuff. For forums, I used www.corecoding.com. It's a great, free place with a lot of support.

geocities is annoying, but it's a good starting point for practice.

freehomepages.com

is where i had my website, you can choose from a list of names like oddworldz.com which is what mine was on and you can practice from there. and its a free site with decent bandwidth.

if you want to learn html google a website called draacs yes 2 a's not a typo

he teaches html for free. most sites now are made from java script and other graphic languages. html is considered old. but it is a good starting point.
