When you buy a domain name from a company is your website automatically hosted by that site as well?

I%26#039;m new to the whole creating a real website thing, so any information and suggested companies will be great. Also once I decide to start a website is it best to go on and buy the .com,.org, and .net at the same time or just stick with the .com first?

No, you%26#039;ll need hosting as well (somewhere to store your web files for accessing via the web)

i would stick with .com its alot easier to remember, unless its unavailable

No. Your hosting and domain registration are completely separate functions. The largest domain registrars all sell hosting, but they don%26#039;t seem to be very good at it, and you find lots of complaints (not ALL justified, of course) about them across the net.

I%26#039;m not sure that it makes sense to buy multiple domain names with different extensions. When%26#039;s the last time you wanted a book and went to Amazon.net, or Amazon.org? Mind you, it%26#039;s not very expensive to buy those three, but if you do that, maybe you should get the US extension, and the BIZ extensions as well? And then there are the other geographical extensions, such as CA for Canada, UK for Great Britain, and MS for Monteserrat. At some point, it gets absurd. Maybe the smart thing would be to let someone else get the NET website, and build traffic up there - because he is *forever* going to be having his users go to your COM website instead.
