Get a free domain and free hosting
(not just a subdomain) from Microsoft.
http://officelive.microsoft.com/
The least expensive place to buy a domain is
1&1. ($6/year - includes 5 page website and e-mail!)
http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=8292866.
Advanced hosting from $3/month.
They provide the sitebuilder,etc.
With the larger hosting packages, they'll give you
Adobe's GoLive (WYSIWYG and HTML editor),
which is second only to Dreamweaver.

Why a free host? Are you just playing around with something, maybe building a personal site? Then myspace is probably better than most free hosts are and easy enough to use. Or you could try freewebs which has a pretty easy builder, and just had an overhaul themselves...BUT (and this is important)...
Any free host is a waste of time unless you just want a site to show off to family and friends as noone will find your website at all! (except when you tell them your address).
BUT If you could stretch to say $5 then it's worth looking at a host like http://hostmonster.site-builder-solution.com because you can host any numebr of domains at very little cost, AND they will at least be REAL websites , and YOURS (i.e. you won't just be building a site to promote a free hosts company). It's worth a look because your own domian name is included in the deal and they have a simple website builder too. Check it out before you plump for a complete freebie - after all it costs peanuts and you'll have a site/s you can be proud of.
I can only say I wasted enough time looking for the best deal myself so I know what it is like - but after plenty of false starts in the past - I wouldn't be able to say it is really worth using a free host in the long term. The efforts I put in on free hosts sites are all 'lost in the void'!

..and then just upload the stuff you made to your site..
