The lowest price I've found is at godaddy.com. Just ignore all the other things they try to sell you when you visit their web page. I believe the price goes as low as $6.95/year per domain if you buy 10 years at a time. Year-by-year price is $8.95/year, with slight differences for other newer domains like .biz and such.

As far as hosting goes, I like my managed virtual server at escapebox.net ($25/month), though I have lately been wanting to cancel it and get an account with linode.com ($20/month) as soon as I have some spare time to set it up. These hosting plans are probably way more than you need though.

My wife and I are making a "real" web-page for the first time (Angelfire, 50megs, web1000, and BYU web-space not included) and we're planning on registering a domain name, and getting hosting. We probably don't need more then 10 megs for the next year or so.

I've tried googling for domain name registration, but most of the pages seem somewhat unprofessional, and like they're trying to scam someone somehow (putting "no-hidden costs" on the page more than 3 times makes me wary). Price ranges for a .com or .net ranged from $10 to $25 - there's not a difference, is there?
