When you get a domain at GoDaddy they will provide a minimum webspace at least for a webpage.
Then if you go into the DNS file it creates for your domain (called a Zone File) it will be quite clear. Lets say you got example.com
There will be example.com and an IP
http://www.example.com and an IP
mailservers to handle the mail for example.com with their IPs
possible some others such as http://ftp.example.com and gallery.example.com
You can just go ahead and change any of those you want to your IP number and save it. Anywhere from 1 day to a week it will wash all thru the caches on the net to make it official for everyone
But remember, DNS is just Domain NAME server. It translates the name, to an address. Lets say that your IP is 127.0.0.1 and you tell GoDaddy to send all http://www.example.com and emails for @example.com to that IP. You still will have to have something set to receive and handle www and email requests. Just pointing it at your home computer wont do much without server software.

DNS is a concept that has multiple types of ‘translation’ records. There records are continuously exchanged between DNS servers, so if GoDaddys server has it, your ISP will also have it in up to 48 hours.
The record for translating a domain name to an IP is called an ‘A record’, godaddy has support for adding this.
