May be a daft question but I've got to ask it anyway. I want to create a basic web page for a direct marketing business, just some basic sales text and maybe a couple of photo's. I'm going to use a website generator type software with preset templates to do this. Once done how do I publish it to the WWW and how do I give the site a domain name? Told you it was a daft question but I need to get up and running quickly and have no desire to learn website design and HTML etc.

You need to purchase a domain name and hosting, then you upload your site files with an FTP application like FileZilla.

Domains are typically $7-10/year for a standard .com if they are not included in the hosting package. Good hosting can range anywhere from $6-$15/month, depending on the features, space, and bandwidth that you want (I would personally recommend Bluehost at $7/month, with a free domain name).

Once you have paid for a host and you have a domain name, you just design your site, then upload it via FTP with the FTP login details that your host will give you.
