Here's the quick and easy explanation;
A domain name, is simply the internet address people will use to find your site online. My domain name for my online hosting company is http://www.mxdwebservice.com. With this information a person can simply type the name into a browser window and find my site. :)
A web hosting company is a company that owns and maintains servers where they store all the files of a persons web site. For everything you read and/or hear about web hosting, it's really just a large self storage company for electronic data. You pay them a fee and they will house your web site files and point your new, shiny domain name to the files residing on their servers for you, so all the happy, shiny surfers can find you. Unfortunately, you still have to actually provide the webpages they will store and display to the public for you....
Thats where a web designer comes in. This one is an easy one, web designers are exactly what they sound like...they design web pages and web sites for a fee.
It is the combonation of all three services that make up your average web page or site.
My own company, MXD Web Services, offers all three services for very reasonable pricing. Domain names are free with the purchase of any hosting plan and plans start at only $5.77/mo...thats less than $70 for the year! We also offer professional web design, with basic rates starting at only $100/page...of course this is negotiable depending on what your site needs are. :)
For more information about Domain Names, Web Hosting or Web Design go to http://www.mxdwebservice.com where you will find tons of free information about running a successful site!
I hope I was of some help!
Good Luck!

Obviously you have just created a basic website. A domain name is like Yahoo.com or Microsoft.com. You can register your own domain name like YourName.com at GoDaddy or many other registrars. Do a search for register domain and take your choice of registrars. They charge varying prices so choose the cheapest and easiest for you to understand how to use.
A web host is the computer where your website files are stored. Web hosts offer accounts for domains as explaines above, or subdomains like yoursite.yahoo.com. You can often get free hosting for a small personal website. These hosts offer a variety of options to build and upload your website so others can see it. Search for free hosting and choose the one you feel the most comfortable using.

To publish a web site you have to buy two things one is Domain Name e.g. www.yahoo.com this you can buy from www.networksolutions.com and other thing is web space where your web pages will be kept. once you have purchaged the domain name it will be pointed to your web space and when anyone will hit on your domain a web page index.html kept at your web space will be called and served to the user.
