Default I wanna host my own web page, but how?

6. You mean like "www.123.123.1.2.com", or "http://123.123.1.2/" ?

7a. What does this do exactly? I thought half of the advantages of hosting my own page is that I dont have to "buy" the domain name?
(even though I might be wrong with what I am about to say, just hear me out...) I understand that if someone owns a domain name that I want to use/have/own, I must purchase it from them. On the other hand, if I want to use a domain name that I know nobody owns, why should somebody like goddaddy.com get my money?
