It rather depends on WHY you feel the need for a domain, and 
one assumes (b/c of the mention of hosting, and the subject 
line) website

blog sites are free with a google account at blogspot.com. 
email handling in a custom domain is free for up to ten users 
with google apps (down a rather had to find link).  mimimal 
websites are free thru google sites, as well.  domain 
registrations are $10 a year at google apps [they hand off the 
registration to emon or go-daddy, which is a hard price to 
get under for a low volume domain registrant

But all this is self support and has no learning opportunity; 
if you want to have a live person at the other end of the 
phone to ask questions of, you may want more

Not enough info to really frame a good answer
