but you can get good service for little money

I use 123-reg.co.uk

both at home and at work - they are cheap reliable - and moist 
importantly allow you to easily transfer domains in and out of thier 
control.

They don't offer much by way of DNS - but allow you to take control of 
that easily.

no email or webspace - but you do get email and web forwarding.
