What is the difference between a domain name and web hosting?

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…

I need a good, reliable web hosting service I can use personally and recommend to others. Any ideas?

I am searching for a web hosting service that can give me reliable service, my own domain names, a series of email accounts, PHP capabilities, decent storage space, and not cost much. Does anyone know of any businesses that are particularly good and well-known?

I’m a web developer and I’m looking for a place to host my own site, as well as recommend to potential clients. Reliability, security, and price are particularly important.
