Actually thats handled by two things.
GoDaddy handles sending the traffic when someone looks up the domain. So if the domain is example.com and you want it to go to 127.0.0.1 then simply open your account on GoDaddy, open the domain account, then choose “Total DNS Control Panel” and tell it that http://www.example.com is at 127.0.0.1
Then the machine at 127.0.0.1 has to handle the incoming traffic. So if you have a web directory there at /home/example/public_html then it sets its webserver to send incoming traffic hitting the machine and asking for example.com to be sent to /home/example/public_html to get the web page.
Transfer your domain to http://www.JordanSoft.com and register with them from now on, they are cheaper than GoDaddy and you will have everything you need to get started online for FREE:
Free Personalized E-Mail Account: FREE fraud, spam and virus protected email that includes 1GB total storage, and customized to the domain name that you registered
Free Ad-Supported Hosting: Reliable and backed by 24/7 support, includes 10 GB of Disk Space, 150 GB of Transfer, Windows or Linux, FTP Access, and much more.
You just buy a site at another location.
The site will give you their domain DNS to where you are hosted.
Next you go to godaddy.com and enter the DNS information on your domain name.
It takes a few hours sometimes but that is all you need to do.
Good Luck!
I’m registered with Godaddy and have my site on bluehost. They, and most other good site hosts, set up the IPs and put it all together for me. After all that’s part of what you’re paying for.
