The domain name will itself cost you a yearly fee. An option when you get a domain name is to make it private by going through another organization that takes your place in the WHO lookup. That will cost an additional fee. More expensive, but still not that much, is the server itself, which may be Linux or Windows, shared or dedicated, and usually includes email for as many as you like. I have my own domain address and shared server with a dedicated IP address for about $200 per year.

I read recently that some domain providers "rent" the domain name to you, but they own it. They do that to keep you on their site and can increase costs from year to year and not allowing you to move to other domain providers. Read the contract carefully.

Lots of places to get a domain from. While not a fan of Alphabet, I use Google Domains. $12/year with free anonymity.
I've been using Namecheap's email service for a while. I pay by the year and watch for sales. Last sales I was able to add an extra year twice for cheap (would only allow one year per transaction but suspect they may not have thought to prevent repeat orders).

One downside is that you'll get spam. Lots of it, much of it very unpleasant. None of it is personal, so don't take it to heart.
When choosing a domain, think long-term. If it *might* be used for business some time, don't choose a "silly" domain name. Don't choose anything too long (I made that mistake; sometimes my email address doesn't fit in forms - even online ones. My excuse is that I chose my domain in the 1990s when people didn't use email much anyway.
If you do choose a hosting provider in order to put up a website, ideally check that they support unlimited subdomains. Then you can have sites like mywork.mydomain.com, myhobby.mydomain.com, myfamily.mydomain.com I find this invaluable, especially as a freelance developer. Each client gets their own subdomain, entirely independent of everything else, for testing and user acceptance e.g. client1.mydomain.com, client2.mydomain.com etc (the names are a little less predictable than that). I've also got a whole raft of independent subdomains for various hobbies and special interest sites. (No, not that sort of special interest).
As others have said, make sure that SSL is included - many cheap hosting providers integrate support for LetsEncrypt, a free SSL certificate issuer.

I'd trust the fifth column over all others.

There are enough cells around to hold anything that could be in that fifth column. Perhaps SUM careful calculations will help - LOTUS consider the options.

I'd keep my eye on columns D and F also. They are in close proximity and could become subversive also.

Take one from column A and one from Column B. Call it a meal.
Includes eggroll or soup, rice, tea. and call it a meal.

family suitable video
@originalgriff : your cat may enjoy
Quote: Passage, a short animation by the French filmmaker Simon Feat, limns twilight’s sensations with a delicate simplicity that renders the quotidian exquisite. The rhythms of terrestrial life – a boat cruising back to port, a cat settling down in the last rays of the sun, shadows creeping across a village, a cicada emerging from its shell – intertwine, pleasantly meandering through the end of a beautiful, unexceptional day. And then, as the sun dips below the horizon and dusk gives way to night, the music shifts and we launch from this planet out into the great beyond. [^]

Too flickery - giving me a headache so I didn't watch too far.
I'm sure it's great art and all that, but if it supposed to be relaxing, it doesn't work for me.
A pity. I could do with a relaxing video.

I think my brain is now broken.
It looks nice as stills - but the problem seems to be that there is too much movement throughout the whole image, so it's difficult for the brain to know what to filter out and concentrate on as movement.
