Lots of hosts also will give you a free domain name if you buy space with them :) just a matter of picking a host (there are a lot out there, though I am a little outdated on what the popular ones are now).

The proper terms I'm looking for are "host" and "DNS server" then?

Domain registrar: where you buy the domain name
Host: where you put your files
