A domain name is something like: mycompany.com so people can access your website at: http://mycompany.com

Domain names can be bought for < $10/year at sites like
http://namesilo.com
http://namecheap.com
http://porkbun.com

Then you need somewhere to host your website.
What type of website do you need. Do you just want to host a blog? Do you have a company? Do you need to sell things
via the Internet?
