The following addresses ARE AVAILABLE.
SWEET-DREAMZ.COM
SWEET-DREAMZ.ORG
SWEET-DREAMZ.INFO
SWEET-DREAMZ.BIZ
SWEET-DREAMZ.US
SWEET-DREAMZ.WS
What you need to first do is get a "registrar" who will order the domain name for you....I use www.godaddy.com for mine as I have full control over my domain names and they have a nice and easy interface inwhich to handle my domain names I currently own.
Next you need a HOST as host can be YOURSELF or a 3rd party such as your ISP or comanys such as godaddy. A HOST is someone who will be "hosting the website" ie a service provider (someone with a internet connection and servers)
Hope that answered your question. If you have others feel free to ask

You can also try stargate to rigister you domain,
After you register your domain with your resgistar you need to inform them where your nameservers are. when you signup with a webhost which provides you webspace, bandwith and so on. The webhost will inform you where to point your domian to. That Ip address will be the name servers. i
the host will provide you an ftp acccount which you can then use to transfer your files to the webhost
It's pretty simple
