Your welcome for the help. I'm glad that I finally can assist someone on this forum. Usually I'm the one needing all the help!
Just a note about entering DNS information. You need to enter the server name, like NS1.HOSTING.COM and NS2.HOSTING.COM, in the GoDaddy registration process. Then continue the purchase proceedure. Remember they have great tech support. If run into trouble give them a call. I sure called them a lot a few years ago when I first started.

GoDaddy is great and for the price, they have amazing support and easy to use domain name admin features.

Ok thanks ill try that cBLUe!!

thanks to upsadz too!!

ill try that now and then come back to you if it doesnt
work. yes i was given a tempory url, but it looked like a folder or something, when i install xooops into the public_html folder then i should be able to go into my temporary URL and then click on publick html and the XOOPS installation should come up?
after that it seems pretty easy.

thanks
