Domain Name Services
If you want to support another Black Girl who Rocks, you can purchase your domain name through Websitepalace.com. Ms. Lisa Irby of 2createawebsite will get a commission if you do.
The other popular option to get your domain name is of course GoDaddy.com. Either of these will work and are reputable places I recommend.
Hosting Options
Your web host is where your site is housed on the web and can be free or paid. I highly recommend to pay for your own hosting if you are serious about your side hustle or passion project.
