I have only ever run websites out of my own apartment.

Don't use GoDaddy. I personally like Google's domain purchasing service.

On your budget your machine will certainly be virtual.

Hehe yeah I found a lot of domains of interest to me on Google and scooped them up.

Oh man I can host my own email server if I wanted

hypothetically-- if you wanna host it out of your apartment (the best way tbh) you'll need reverse-dns, but most ISPs' (ime) webmasters won't give you a reverse-dns record unless you pay for the "business tier" service.
it's absolutely ridiculous.
sometimes, though, they'll set it up for free on a regular tier, if they're nice.

Hahaaa my ISP is garbage. I doubt they'd let me do that and because I will be moving around often I think I'll just avoid this route.
