5GB Hosting space for a website
5Gb = 5 Gigabytes = 5000 Megabytes = 5000000 Kilobytes
5Gb webspace is ALOT for a newbie, even for experienced unless they are offering downlaods that are bulky.
5Gb bandwidth is still understandeable.

My own domain name, and is this a one off payment or required annually?
Domain is a way to have your identity or address using which people can reach your website.
Like when you want to come to this forum, you type freewebspace.net/forums , so freewebspace.net is a domain.
Domains are licensed on payment. Now it depends on you, if you pay for one year, then you renew license after one year and if you pay for 10 years, then you renew license after 10 years. But its not less than one year.
You don't necessarily need domain to run a website. If you are novice as appears from your querries, try having some site using SUBDOMAIN of place you get hosting from. If it is successful, you can purchase domain and use it or as you wish.

Into your account is when you put material there time and again and out of your account is everytime someone visits you or downloads from your account.

Backup, can be for accounts as whole or just databse and some host provide it on daily basis or weekly or few may not do it, and you shall have to take care of it.
I guess once you are hosted, you'll know more about it then.
