Yes, domain names are symbolic names associated with ip-addresses.

No, domain names are not assigned by web hosts, they are assigned by
domain name registrars (terminology).

GoDaddy coincidentally happens to provide both services, but hosting
services need not also be registrars.

Most people feel it unwise to have hosting provided by the same
company that is your registrar. The real issue (imo) is that you be
able to trust your domain name registrar, not that they necessarily be
different companies; you can always move your hosting.

We're well out of the PHP topic area here, for discussions about
hosting and suchlike I suggest alt.www.webmaster
