If you have your own server built you can have a webspace for free, and a dyndns for free, but I'm pretty sure you have to pay for any name hosting because of it's nature. I don't really know much more than that, or how web hosting companies procure domain names.

True XD
People have trouble remembering Moosader.com, for some reason. You'd have to have a pretty sweet site for someone to memorize that spelling.

Your site name has actually stuck in my head, mainly because of your avatar having a moose in it

You have to register the domain somewhere so that the internet traffic compys can route hits on that domain to your server. And that costs money (not much). Free would be hosting it off some IP address and then having your users type like
http://123.456.78.90 in the address bar.
There are free domains from places like dyndns.org where they offer certain subdomains (so limited choices == free, unlimited choices == $.)
