I want to get my own website up and running, so I went to look at prices around the place… I found a good site which has domain names at $11/year, but I’m confusing myself because I’m not sure of the difference between a domain name and web hosting - I want quite a lot of space, and I will use Frontpage to make my site because that also has an upload facility attached, so I just need the domain name right?

However, I cant see anything about how much space I get when I buy a domain name, so this makes me think I need to get web hosting…. please help!!
Thanks 
I’m still confused - so if it says Domain Names $11 and then Web Hosting $164.50, do I need both? Or can I just buy a Domain Name and use Frontpage to upload my pages to that name? Sorry… I can be a bit thick sometimes…
