Domain and web hosting are two different concepts. Domain is like the address of your home, and hosting is your physical house. You need a physical place to live, and an address for people to find you.
Reply:Yes. You need to both own a domain and have somewhere to host the site. Here is a guide to getting started: http://www.richkahmer.com/build-a-websit...

I would suggest following webhosting , they are quite good.

They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 200000 MB (200 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.
