Okay, it sounds daunting, but this is the way I learned. I made a site, I used my ISP Email Hosting , AOL, and a free FTP program, Aracnophelia,wsFTP Lite,CuteFTP, and Uploaded the Files, (site) to the .index/HTML.
It was like Upload to Myname@aol.com/myhomepage.html
Today is more Numerical, like your Host or your Domain has a 14 Digit number, 111.111.11.11 that is the DNS# that you publish to.
Trick is today, there is a hidden server inside EVERY windows box, and a free one in allmost every Linux Distro.
But shhhh,,cause Daddy Microsoft wants all that money.

The point is, you'll need somewhere to put your website so that people can see it. Otherwise, it's just sitting on your own computer which does no-one any good apart from you. This means signing up with a web hosting company, or finding some free web space somewhere.
Once you have an account, you'll need to upload your website code to the server - this is usually done via a program called FTP. You'll get the full instructions when you sign up though.
If you're just starting out, somewhere like Geocities (www.geocities.com) is free and might give you what you need - it uses your existing Yahoo username.
