Could somebody recommend to me a good web hosting service? Also, how much will a domain name cost me per year?

A domain name, assuming you aren't trying to get something that is already taken, should cost you maybe $10 a year. As for hosting, it depends on what you want. If you need a lot of bandwidth then it will cost you, but if you are just running a small site that won't have many visitors you can host a site relatively cheap. I used to have a domain name and a host, and I recall it costing about $70 for a year, and was quite reliable. Though I did not have much on my site, and probably less than 10,000 hits throughout that year.

I've heard great things about www.bluehost.com

My friend uses them and their support seems to be quite good...
