Many organizations are willing to sell domain names with web hosting and mail services for reasonable prices, however not all domains come with web hosting and / or mail services and equally, not all hosting comes with a domain name of your own, in fact, some organizations are even selling web hosting to customers and charging them for the hosting but instead of selling them a domain of the customer's own are "lending" them a sub-domain of the hosting company's own (or even charging them EXTRA for the privelidge). Although web hosting doesn't require a domain and domains don't require web hosting if you want to have a web site you require both a domain name AND a web host. Registering a domain name can be VERY cheap depending upon which type of domain you go for and equally, registering for web hosting can be just as easy, but can be MUCH more expensive as there is such a wide range of hosting packages. However, although the actual registration is easy coming up with a GOOD domain name is VERY difficultand even then it's still a case of figuring out which TYPE of domain you want, eg. .com or .co.uk or .ie or .info, etc, etc, etc. and to add to this then what sort and SIZE of hosting package do you require?
