No, a GoDaddy domain does not automatically include hosting. A domain name and web hosting are two separate services.

Domain name: This is the web address (like www.yourwebsite.com) that users type into a browser to access your site. When you register a domain through GoDaddy, you're simply purchasing the right to use that web address.

Web hosting: This is the service that stores your website files and makes them accessible on the internet. GoDaddy offers web hosting plans, but you need to purchase hosting separately from the domain registration.

Key Differences:
Domain registration: Just gives you the name, no website files are included.

Web hosting: Provides the server space for your website files, so people can access your website.

If you want both domain and hosting, GoDaddy offers bundled plans that include both a domain and hosting, but they are still separate services. You can register a domain with GoDaddy and choose a hosting plan from them, or you can use a third-party hosting provider.
