Really dumb hosting question.

I use Yahoo! as my Web Hosting Provider, and the purchase of my domain name is in that package. Previously, I hosted my HTML site entirely thru them, and my files were on my FTP.

Now, that my domain is forwarded thru smugmug, do I have to continue to pay Yahoo $20 a month to 'Host' my site? Or can I downgrade to a domain name purchase only? I am not sure the technicalities of the word "host"...just don't want to pull the plug by trying to save a few bucks. Forgive my web ignorance!

    Probably not - but you'd have to email Yahoo about that. Be sure that whatever you do, you don't lose your domain name thumb.gif
