The $36/yr for web hosting was a GoDaddy special. The normal price is $84/yr. I see they now have a special for $48/yr. That is for the bottom-of-the-line plan. You can always purchase a bigger plan that has more features (more disk space, additional email addresses, etc).
You can also purchase additional services for domains (such as privacy, certified domains, protected registration, premium listing, etc), which will increase the cost.
In regards to Symbiostock, you can also purchase additional themes (such as Amanda's CleanTheme), plugins (Leo has a few and their are 1000s available from WordPress), etc.
It's all up to you. But so far, I have spent about $60 for the year. I don't plan on putting much more into it until I see how sales go.
Ron:
The free symbiostock site I have cost me about 150 dollars including hosting, and with the paid plugin it will cost me another 75 dollar. I also purchased other plugins for 30 dollars.
You will also pay PayPal 3.4% + 35 cent per transaction.
Bascially to set up a pro SYS site it will cost you 250 dollar in the first year, and every year there after only your hosting costs. The free version will cost you nothing except for your hosting cost and plugins you might want to buy.
So far I made 60 dollar on Symbiostock in two months since going live.

Free is not good, you are very unlikely to get the options you need to run Wordpress and Symbiostock, it will be full of adverts and they will spam you to death
Many of us use Justhost or Bluehost. With Justhost you will probably need to edit your php.ini but that is not difficult
Miguel Calo:
I looked on BlueHost offers and I see the minimum per month is 29.99 $. Is it correct? I mean is VPS Web Hosting what I should choose as a minimum from Bluehost, right?
Thanks.
p.s.: if I sound dumb, it's because I really am when it's about websites! ::)
