The answer to all your questions is http://www.directnic.com which is fast
and affordable.  By default they will set you up with a free WebPages on
their site.  When you are ready to put the site online,  get the DNS info
from your host company and log into your directnic account and change the
DNS.

 If you want to temporarily house your site there for free they do add
banners, but you can just build the site so that all anyone sees is a
"coming soon" page until you are ready to make your move.  I have been using
them for quite some time and I am very pleased with them.
