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. 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.

I use Site Build It, (SBI)
It is a great hosting company that focuses on SEO optimization as well as eCommerce.
I’ve used it to build my websites. They have a wonderful array of features that are all included in the reasonable fee like a keyword selection tool, a blog, newsletter, forms, polls, option for stores/shopping carts, auto responder, forum, statistics, etc. You can read how I got started on building websites (from a computer illiterate to bona fide webmaster!) and watch a video about SBI here:
They also offer a free website building action guide which you can get here:
No matter which site building program and web host you select, the Action Guide is a wonderful website building resource to refer to as you get started.
SBI also automatically creates a site map and submits your website to all the major search engines after analyzing each web page to be sure that they are properly optimized. (Not only is that’s a huge time saver it will also save you from a severe headache!)
Good luck and Have Fun Building Your Website!
