website

I found this site:

www.discountasp.net

They seem cheap enough and have a track record. I decided to host my site with them. Here's where I'm confused.

I host the application (my website) with them and they give me an IP address, right? Users can visit my site by typing in that IP address right? (Of course once I move the index file and create a defauly web folder, etc.)

Next step is buying a domain name right? Like www.mysite.com, right?

Is this the way it's done, or am I doing it wrong?
