I need to have a site for my web design class, and for some odd reason, I've gotten my heat set on having my own domain name too. Now, I'm in college, and as such, I don't have a lot of money to work with. I found one called iPower... um... something, and it was like $6.XX/mo for 24 months, and a free domain name, but I think it might've been only business oriented. Eh... tell me what you all think...

The cheap and flexible way is to have a web server on your own PC. Install Apache (www.apache.org) and sign up for a dynamic DNS service such as www.no-ip.com. There are only so many domain names you can choose from but it's free

PowWeb is the one that always advertises for $7.77 per month.

As Ironchef said, it's easy enough to set up Apache on your own computer to host a site. A lot of domain registrars nowadays (I know of at least Verio and Register.com) provide domain name pointing services, so you give them an IP address (your cable/dsl modem's IP) and it will point the domain for you.

I currently host my domain with Express Networks and I've been pretty satisfied with them for the last 3+ years.
