Having created your website you'll need a domain to register it under and a server to host it with. A registered domain is a unique and individual name which your site and your site alone will possess. A host server is the actual, physical location at which your website will reside. The cost for these services can vary greatly depending on which company you choose. Selecting a suitable host can be confusing and there are several considerations you need to think about. Many ISP's (Internet Service Providers) provide their users with a certain amount of webspace (usually 5 to 10 megabytes) which can be used completely free of charge. If your website is going to be personal in nature and you don't plan on including hundreds of photographs, this free webspace might be entirely sufficient for your needs. A business website wanting to publish its entire product catalogue online would probably require more than this though, and in this case you'd need the services of a professional website host.
