Suppose I wanted to get a webpage. Suppose I know the URL I want and no one else has it. Suppose I also need server space to host the actual webpage. Now what?

Edit: Suppose it is for a professional website.

So another question, if I go with one of the other hosting services people mention, but I want a second domain name pointing to the main one, that's what domain name registry (such as joker.com) would be good for? Or am I misunderstanding.

(For example, let's say I want zandperl.com to be a real webpage, and zandizandperl.com to redirect to zandperl.com)

No, you can either register both domain names through your hosting service, if they offer that, or register them both through a registry like Joker and point them to your hosting service.
