hi guys love the forum. i dont know alot about websites so please excuse me.

basically i have a window cleaning website (in my profile)
what i want to do is is add about 5 domain names to this website, is this possable??? if i can do i need web hosting for all the domains???

You should always buy the .com and other useful variants. For multi-word domains, get those both with, and without, hyphens.

Point them all at the same server, for sure.

Finally, set up the .htaccess file so that all but one of them issues a site-wide 301 redirect to the one that you have chosen as the canonical domain.
