2 Factor Authentication is a security feature that everyone should be using on their primary email. What it means is that even if your password is compromised, an attacker still can not access your email. Since most banks/etc let you use an email address to gain access to your account, you need to protect your email even better then you protect other accounts. It is the hub from which you can rebuild from in the event of the major breaches we hear about.
Here is some information:

As for cost... not sure, I sign up years ago so I do not know their current price mode. Perhaps this page will help:

I suggest you keep ownership of your domain completely separate from any other service. So if you buy web/email from company A, buy your domain from company B. That just protects you in the event that your relationship sours with company A. For example I have my email with Google, my web servers with Amazon and my domain names with Direct Nic.
