Yup, the domain costs money (the @xxx.xxx part).  It is possible to host it on your personal computer, but can be a hassle with some ISPs (or even with your own router if you are a novice).  There would also be better speed and guaranteed uptime if you host it somwhere else (lots of places that will sell you a domain can also charge more to host it if you want).  

You can get a domain and hosting starting around $2-4/month here: http://www.webhostingpad.com/ .

I haven't dealt with any of that stuff before so I am unsure on the exact setup or what places are best to host from.

You've gotta purchase a domain. Once you've done that, I can help you with setting up an email for it. Just message me.
