Does my site address change if I change host?

[nath]

Hi there,

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm absolutely new to the topic ...

If I go to a free host to start develop and test my site and after a while want to switch to a more performant host, would I need to change the address of my site?

Thx for your help,

Nath

domain name = No! (unless it's something like brinkster then I'm not sure on the brinkster. thing)
IP = Yes!

the DNS will need to be transfered. usually the services will provide the needed instructions to what and who to contact for you to have this done. _________________________________________________________

and if you are using a sub-domain of the service provider the easiest thing to do (although some companies dont like you doing it) just put a forwarding page on the old site, to redirect to the new one ----------------------------------------
