The major global TLDs have lost their strict denotations of what kind
of organization may have them, but they still have connotations:
.org: non-profits
.com: commercial
.net: network service providers (ISPs, hosting, etc.)
.info: never had connotations in the first place

$10/yr for a domain (godaddy.com) and $36/yr for hosting
(virtualcobalts.com) should be a good enough deal, getting you
50 MB of web space and lots of transfer.
