You are correct Carol. Cost varies by feature and just by host (there are 
various "brands" of the same basic product. Looks like Godaddy hosts sites from 
$1.99 a month now so there are some cheap alternatives to host privately for a 
reasonably small site.

The other fee is for the URL, basically the name (like nopbc.org) which is paid 
for once a year. That's around $10 per year. The catch there is you have to find 
a name that works that nobody else on the planet already has and register it. 
Godaddy.com is a good place to do that cheaply as well. Be certain to auto-renew 
or risk loosing the name once you're established. You can also pre-pay for up to 
around 10 years to reduce the risk with that...
