There are 2 options available #1 - Go for professional services provided like GoDaddy etc #2 - As you mentioned, you host it on your own machine. In this case you will require following things: a. Static IP from your ISP b. Make sure your machine never turns off. If it turns of your website gets down. c. You have a web server (IIS, Apache, etc) installed and configured on your machine. These are the basic things needed. Hope this helps.

Yes Mudassar. Ofcourse you can as in that case the website will be deployed on GoDaddy's servers and not your machine.
