InstantPage Server vs GoDaddy Server

InstantPage is on its own server, you see. At least, it's on a different server than the shared server on GoDaddy. I think that many people on many different forums broached this subject: some of them ranting, some of them whining, and some sounding resigned. The problem is, I just didn't "get" what they were saying. I do now. (Nothing like experience...) That's probably of very little importance if you go that route from the beginning: build your site on GoDaddy using InstantPage. That has its own drawbacks, I'm sure, and it would be just as much a problem if you did that and tried to change later. Anyhow, GoDaddy kind of lures you into buying multiple domain names. "Lure" has negative connotations. I mean, they are giving you a bargain, and you do get what you pay for: domain names. It's like buying a handful of sticky file labels with your file names on them. Now you've got to find a place to put them. That's gonna cost ya. It will cost in time, money, and heartache. You have a handful of labels. You don't have a file folder to put them on. You don't even know where the file cabinet is.
