Domain Name Information

The part of the domain name located to the left of the dot . "discountserverhosting," in this case . is called the second-level domain (SLD) name. The second-level domain name is the "readable" part of the address and refers to the organization or entity behind the Internet address.

How do I check if the domain I want is available?

Many webhosting services and all domain registries have a free search function where you can research what domains are available and what isn't. If the domain you are searching for turns out to not be available, many search functions off you alternative domains, since in many instances the .com domain you are searching for is already taken, but the .net or .biz may still be available.

Using domain search functions is free, so don't be afraid to dive in and get your hands dirty. 

You don't have to. Most webhosts have an automatic site builder where all you have to do is choose the color scheme, and move things (like pictures and videos) around. It's about as easy as decorating your bedroom. The only language you need to know is your own. No computer-ese required. While most webhosts carry this feature, not all do. Make sure it is specifically included in the package you are looking at.
