I do precisely this, using GoDaddy. I don't see why using a service like that |
| 28 |
wouldn't be possible to get into what you want. You'd have to make sure, when |
| 29 |
you set it up, that you didn't ask GoDaddy to supply any other services, but |
| 30 |
it's certainly possible. I run my own server, I get the name from GoDaddy, but |
| 31 |
they provide no nameserver services, nor web pages. I used to get it from a |
| 32 |
different vendor, but their service turned out to stink, so I learned that it |
| 33 |
takes about a week or two to transfer the name (from X to GoDaddy), because all |
| 34 |
services (like GoDaddy) need to go to reasonable lengths to make sure that they |
| 35 |
aren't faked out by frauds. You probably wouldn't really want less. |
