DON'T go to Network Solution or InterNic to register your domain, they charge $70 for two years, which is a rip off.

Try http://www.000domains.com , which is $13.50USD per year, which is less than half price then Network Solution or InterNic, it's a name, paying twice as much isn't gonna make the service twice as good - if any at all.

For a ever cheaper place, go to http://www.joker.com , quoting from their site "EURO 9 - EURO 12 (~ 8 USD - 11 USD Depending on the amount of registrations per month"

I signed up for 000domains and it's going as smooth as it can be, haven't tried Joker yet.

As for hosting, try http://www.mydomain.com , it doesn't host the site, but has a number of tools for hosting for free. You can use it so when people type in your domain, it goes to your free hosted site like F2S, Xenox, Spaceports, etc. They can also forward all emails to one inbox, suggest you give it a try.
