only to redirect to your own URL, you can do after you bought Domain name. In the control panel, it has an option to let you do redirect. no hosting required. At GoDaddy.com I am doing this with my domain.

NO, you will not have to pay for hosting. Only the domain name for each year you want to hold onto the name. Right now if you want to register any new domain for $1.19 just go to http://www.holtis.com and navigate to the bottom where you see resources. Click it and then go to the godaddy banner that will display a 7 day only sale. Click on that to go to the site and use coupon code love99 and you’ll drop the price all the way down to $.99 (20 cents of the icann).

You don’t need to pay for web hosting service. Just register a domain name.
Don’t trust any cheap service, many of them don’t allow you to have full control on your domain name. If you’re going to buy domain names, http://www.goldpuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($9.99 /year). They offer free extras with every domain name:
Quick Blogcast
Hosting with Web site builder
Personalized Email Account
Starter Web Page For Sale/ Parked Page
Domain Forwarding
Domain Masking
100-Pack Email Forwarding
Total DNS Control
Change of Registration
Status Alerts
Domain Locking
…
Good Luck!
