you need a DNS setup on your system (public IP address). Once you have that, point the godaddy domain DNS to yours. and you will be able to setup the domain on your local linux.
You will need to purchase two separate items: one is the domain name, like mydomain.com, and a hosting plan, which is space on a server that will put your files on the Internet for all to see. You can get both from godaddy.com. Once you have the hosting plan, you will be given an FTP address, username, and password to be able to upload your files to the hosting server. You will also need some kind of FTP client program, either command line or GUI-based, to upload the files to the server.
If you’re looking to host them on your own computer without a hosting plan, you can do that too. In this case you won’t need to buy a domain either, but then you’ll need to set up dynamic DNS and a web server on your home computer, and that’s too complicated to describe here and it’s not a good idea because your ISP probably won’t like it.
You mean you want to run a web site from your linux computer?
You need a DNS server and such
