Get an ISP and get them to arrange getting the domain name for them and delegating it. Then they dont have to worry about anything complicated. Eg for Jills parents that have a small business they just went to an ISP (http://www.triode.net.au and lists of their customers here http://www.triode.net.au/homepage.html) and got a domain (rowlingstock.com.au), and a web site up and running easy. Jill did the web pages for them. (http://www.rowlingstock.com.au) Let the ISP do the technical stuff for them. > 2.

When we were helping Jills parents get a site up we spoke to the person who runs triode on the phone and they were easy to deal with so we later went with triode for our own dialup and web site hosting although we had our own domain name that we arranged ourselves. (Triode run on RedHat Linux and its a small ISP.
