Is it possible to get a domain name from a company that does not offer hosting (like Yahoo) and later move to a hosting company like godaddy.com?
Right now, I do not know if I need hosting, but I would like to have the option for future.
Thank you!

Godaddy gives you the opportunity to purchase domain names without hosting. If you purchase a name from them you can later register and host the domain with them. Some hosts require that the domain name be registered within 90 of purchase. For example if you buy the domain from godaddy and host the domain with another. If you are ready to get started on your website, many hosts will register your domain as part of the package. I personally enjoy the services of http://www.tobuildyour.com They have all the tools and assistance to build a successful website.
I’m not sure if I understand your question correctly…
You may register your domain name wherever you want and you don’t have to host it with the same company from which you registered the domain name…
So yes you can register your domain name http://www.example.com on Yahoo and then move it to GoDaddy anytime you want.
But if you have something like myspace.com/something you won’t be able to move that to another company as that is not legaly YOUR domain name…
Hi, I think that is possible. You just have to do some research and find the conditions for doing that. I know I was offered the chance to change my hosting from my old web host to a completely new one. However, here’s a link that might help you with your problems related to hosting. I know it helped me: http://www.hostmee.com . Good luck with your website and hope to hear from you soon!
Start with a free site and free hosting until you get your site built just the way you want it. Move up accordingly as you expand slowly to the next level.
