Need to register a domain for business and get a simple website up and running in the USA - tips? (self.asklemmy)

Other than "dont' use Godaddy", what do I need to know? I've never owned a domain or had a website of my own before.

Domain registration/host recommendations?
Web hosting recommendations? Should I mix #1 and #2?
Website template creation suggestions? Have fairly simple needs like service offerings and contact forms but want something without rotating construction cones.
What else should I consider? Security? e-mail?
Am open to all-in-one for the above, just would like to understand tradeoffs, what to look for/avoid.

TIA

You should als mention the country. Helps if you're a business and not just looking for the cheapest. And maybe get a all-in-one solution if you don't want to set up and maintain mail yourself.

hetzner.de uberspace.de all-inkl.com netcup.de inwx.de are some I use or used.

Thanks, added US to title and clarified that I'm open to all-in-one solutions if those may fit my need.
