Just bought a domain name ... what to do next?

Hi,

I usually post in the UNIX general forum for help on codes and commands but today I decided to post in this forum since my question may be relevant. So I am really new to the webpage/http area so please be patient with this question.

Basically I got a domain name from godaddy.com but I have no clue what to do next. I know that I need to purchase a package for a host to run the webpage but is it also possible to use my own server as a host?

What else do I need to get started?

thanks

Phil
