Holey Moley That Was Fast

Me too, but you got me wrong... I don't host anything at godaddy either...

For example: just now I have thisdomain.com. There is a feature that godaddy has that allows me to say even though this domain is parked on your servers at godaddy, I want people to be redirected to anotherdomain.com. I can even take it one step further for a couple bucks and mask thisdomain.com, so even though you get redirected to anotherdomain.com, you still see thisdomain.com in your browser's address bar. You can even redirect to directories on anotherdomain.com, so you could have several unique websites with unique domains hosted on the same server under the same domain.

Same with email, even though the domain is parked on go daddy servers, I can have email sent to thisdomain.com get redirected to a different address for free.

It just makes it easier if you don't want to set up a webserver for every domain you want to place a little content on.

of course the DNS changing and all the usual stuff is there as well.
