Who controls them and how do you get one? Are they free?

I registered mine with godaddy.com
It's pretty cheap nowadays.
You can just register with them, but you can also have them host your website.

Names are controlled by ICANN, which is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. There are ways to get a domain name for free, but most can be had for as little as $5/year.

You can go to InterNIC, which is run by the US Department of Commerce, to get started.

+1 Cheap and decent. I run about a dozen sites belonging to me and friends. I always go through godaddy and host the sites myself then.

OK, cool. How much does that cost? I can't seem to find an answer on their website.

How about their free ad websites?

I register all of my domain names through www.godaddy.com. I'd highly suggest looking at www.totalchoicehosting.com for hosting. I've been with them for years, they're very inexpensive, have a great deal, and excellent customer service.

OK, I've been looking around and have read about sub-domains.

Is that like jobrelatedstuff.com? Another address that goes to the same place? Like cptpooby and captainpooby.com?

Subdomains are within the parent domain.  This is like archives.ar15.com.  Addresses like jobrelatedstuff.com have to be bought separately but then they can be set up to point at the same server address as ar15.com.
