Chances are you won't be renting or buying a dedicated server anytime soon, the cost of that would be rather extensive. (80+ a month for low end servers). You are going to want to find a shared hosting enviroment that supports php 4.3.11 or better and MySQL 4.0.17 or better. And you would want at least 100MB of storage and to start at least 5-10gb of bandwidth.
Once you have a host, they will tell you their DNS (Domain Name Servers) servers (yes thats redundant, like nic cards ), when you buy a domain, the domain provider will ask you for your DNS servers, or allow you to enter them at another time. Once you put the DNS info into your domain providers database, everything is just a matter of time.
ahh thank you. I understand now. So how could I get a shared hosting enviroment? 100MB of storage that is all? That is a small hard drive but I guess i'll be paying by the megabyte or something like that.
