Wouldn't it just be easiest to have it all on GoDaddy? Or is it beneficial to host it on my computer. The main reason I don't want to host it on my computer is because eventually I'll change computers, and I don't know how long she'll be using this site; it could be for her lifetime as a photographer or something. So I'll probably just keep it hosted on GoDaddy if that's easier. Also, with my Drupal site, I have just been watching youtube videos of tutorials and stuff on how to do certain things with my site, improving it constantly. I'm also using that learnbythedrop site to help out, so thank you for that too! PS: Thank you guys so much for helping me out with this stuff

Its easier in the short term to host with GoDaddy. To me, though, 50% of drupal development is server administration. You won't get that with GoDaddy, you have to use what they have for you.
You can alwasy use Amazon AWS instead of your local machine. Or Rackspace. Lots to learn there too though.

I, personally, don't really need to administer the site, but if my friend needs to just be able to add photos, delete photos, etc. will that be viable with GoDaddy?

Yeah, probably. I've never used GoDaddy as a host. With Drupal there is a lot of stuff you need to do in terms of file editing and downloading modules and stuff. I'm not sure how they have that set up.
Its more fun to learn how it all works though

Haha it would be more fun, I agree. And I will someday learn all of that, but for this I have a deadline :( So I'm trying to get it all done and then maybe if I have extra time at the end I can try that other stuff out.

Microsoft Surface Pro – Productive for Developers
This is not a comprehensive review of the Microsoft Surface Pro, but instead a little blab about one aspect of the device that makes the iPad seem more like a toy.
It is no secret… I am a professional software developer. I know, right? Shocked? I architect, engineer, test, deploy, and support complex software development projects every day of the week. Because I am a producer I need hardware that accommodates that aspect of my life.
The domain is the name. Like "wibit.net". The name is attributed to an IP address by a name server. So GoDaddy's nameserver tells the internet that your domain is located at a particular IP address. That IP address is your server or host. It can be any machine as long as it has a server application on there to handle web traffic.
When someone says host that usually means the company hosting your web server. Often, to keep things easy, services like GoDaddy act as both name server, registrar (the company that registers your domain name), and host. You are not required to keep all things in one place though. You can buy domains from GoDaddy, use DynDNS as your nameserver, and host your site on your personal machine. You can host your web server on Amazon, Rackspace, etc. Whatever you want to do.
