As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: http://www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

They also offer “Free Site Builder” that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get) You can use this service optionally. You can also create the pages offline with your favorite program (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Microsoft Publisher, etc.), and then upload them to your web host. This is another easy way to get your website online.

You purchase a domain name from a domain name registrar. There are several such registrars like you’ve already found from your search. The minimum tenure for registration of a domain name is one year after which you would have to renew your registration by paying another fee. Most of the rates you see quoted prominently on registrar websites are (usually) yearly rates. Some of them do provide you with an option to register your domain name for more than one year up to a maximum of five years. For hosting your files you need to purchase webhosting with a hosting provider. Many of the domain name registrars also offer several additional benefits along with the domain name registration like web-hosting for free. Yet some others may provide those services for a small fee (usually a monthly recurring expenditure). You don’t have to register your domain and purchase hosting from the same company. You could choose to go with different companies.
I have personal experience with GoDaddy and wouldn’t recommend them, because I found their domain management interface to be quite slow. It was a real pain to update anything using their clunky web interface. I recently switched to another registrar called NameCheap and have been quite satisfied with their services. They also have a lighter and faster interface that’s a joy to work with.
Here’s their website:http://www.namecheap.com/?aff=3343

You need the domain name, web hosting and a website. Since it sounds like you can make your own website I focus on the other two.
You can register a domain name for about $10/yr at http://www.domaincityhosting.com
Now you have two options for hosting
1) Free hosting with the domain name but it’s ad supported
2) Upgrade to their Economy Plan for $3.99/mo
It comes with 10 GB Space, 300 GB Transfer, 100 Email Accounts and tons of other features witch is probably more than enough space and bandwidth for your needs
Then you just upload your website to the server.
Its real easy if you already know html and css.

It all depends on the traffic (bandwidth use) I currently have a economy hosting plan with hostingmommy.com. I pay less then $40 a year. I also use drupal , great CMS software that they install for free.
They have cheap domain name registration, cheap hosting, over plans for specific time periods and has a bunch of free features such as domain parking, and free hosting and email with every domain name registration. Basically you can have you site up and running and then once customer approves upgrade the plan. They have site builder tools.( WYSIWYG editor)
They also have free ad-don tools such as CMS ( Drupal, joomla!, MediaWiki etc) These are all beneficial as it allows your customers to manage their own content via web page once you have it all setup.

As for hosting you wont get any definite response, but you likely will get lots of opinions.
There however is a website called http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ where you are more likely to find the answers that you are looking for, this site specializes in the hosting area.
The hosting companies often just show you the the monthly price for the hosting, (around $1,84) which adds up to about $22,08 / year. You usually need to pay a small fee when registering as well, and you need to pay yearly to renew the domain. Domain renewal prices is around $10 to $35 / year or so.
You should expect to pay between $32 to $52 / year, depending on which hosting company you chose etc. So i would recommend that you read about the various hosts on webhostingtalk.com, and then chose one which suits your needs.
