When I get a domain name, can I use a blog as a website? How does this work?

Do I have to pay for a website to host this domain name?

Getting a domain name gives you nothing but the name. Some sites will sell a package that includes a name, web space, and email for under $4 a month.

If you only get the name it must still be attached to a site and there may be a fee to do that.

    Domain and hosting are two different services. Yes, you have to pay for them both. If you want a blog, here’s what you need to do:
    1. Sign up at an established and reliable web host such as these: http://buywebspacetoday.com/recommended-web-hosts/ These are good web hosts with mid-level plans typically in the $6 to $8/month range, although they can get as low as $3 depending on which plan you choose. For more convenience, register your domain name through the same web host so you don’t have to get the domain separately.
    2. For the blog: Go to your web hosting account’s control panel and look for a tool called Fantastico. You can use it to install WordPress (the most popular blogging platform) in a few clicks.

    Domain registration is the process by which a company or individual can secure a website domain, such as http://www.yoursite.com. Once you have completed domain registration the domain becomes yours for the period of the contract, usually one year. Before registration expires it must be renewed, or the domain reverts back to being available to the general public.

    Yes of course you can use a blog as a website. you can use any free blog hosting service like http://www.blogger.com using your google account and using blogger’s "Publish on a custom domain" option you can use as direct website.

    but you need to pay for the domain name registration.
