Quick Tip: Domain and Hosting providers can be different for one site

Once you’ve registered a domain name for example with Godaddy.com, you’re not obligated to purchase their hosting services for your website.

You are free to choose another hosting provider for your website and all you would need to do is change the DNS (Domain Name System) settings on your domain name to direct to your hosting provider. Find out more about DNS.
