    Default Is buying a .com like hosting?

    Ok, I'm seriously thinking of getting a .com, but by doing that, I dunno if it actually HOSTS my site (like .com is actually a redirection thing).

    A .com service is similar to the cjb.net one... it's just redirection...

    It's basically to make it more convinient for ur visotors to remember the address,rather than a "www.angelfire.com/sumthin/username/index.html" or sum crap like tht.

    no it's not the same.

    you need a server or a hosting company to host your files. (a house.)

    and you need a domain to direct ppl to the server. (your street address)

    in lamens terms.
