Answer 1

There are domains, subdomains, and folders withing a site. Just so everything is clear this url:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question is composed of:

1. answers. <<a subdomain

2. yahoo.com <<the domain name

3. /question <<a folder of the site

Some sites offer a subdomain of their site, normally so that the site editor (i.e. you or me) will market their website. You see this many times with MLM or network marketing.

Answers to your questions:

You want your own domain. There are a variety of services that allow you to purchase "http://www.yourdomain.com" (or .net, org, biz, info, us, etc etc) and manage one or thousands of domain names. I use Godaddy, they have always been good to me.

You can purchase a domain name for about $10/year. You can purchase the domain name many years in advance if you want.

There are no free ways that I know of (I strongly doubt there are too) to own a domain name without purchasing it. Once you purchase your domain it is yours.

If you have your own domain it can be stolen or hijacked. Keep your passwords safe. If you have a subdomain you are not the owner of the site, only an editor of a subdomain.

Hope that helps
