1. As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name. If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today. As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. They are a Multi-awarded Web Hosting which offer a Full-featured service only $6.95.

2. I think the best CMS for your purpose is Joomla. This is because it is the best for multimedia publishing. You can create a website with image galleries and downloads with Joomla - probably more easily than any other CMS because it has about 4,500 plugins, and many of them are for rich media (for example it has about 100 just for streaming media). You can find hosting very easily if you search 'joomla hosting'. I advise you to do this instead of using generic hosts, because Joomla can be sensitive to server settings, and you need a host that understands it. Also a Joomla host will allocate you the databases and other things you need to run a successful CMS site. However I have one word of caution - what you want to do is ambitious. Because of that you need a very capable CMS, I don't think a micro-cms like WordPress will be the best choice for this job. But I have to warn you that the first month will be painful, as you will struggle with it. Some people give up because it's too hard. Others find it's OK, after a couple of months. You need to download some PDFs to try and learn it (just search). Your best bet when starting with CMS is to try and find a mentor, someone who can answer all your questions - if you have this, everything will be a hundred times easier, believe me. Anyway, there are some good resources in the links below. Good luck.
