You have to get it ‘hosted’ somewhere. Sometimes the company you registered the domain from offers hosting services as well. Contact them about hosting plans or if they can direct you to a hosting company. Before you host with anyone, ask if they have an application available that will allow you to build your website from within your hosting account. Most hosting companies have this and it will let you build your site without knowing too much about the technical stuff to build a website.
As far as uploading, some programs like Frontpage, let you upload in a certain way. Other programs like Dreamweaver let you use FTP. You need to find out how your particular program let’s you upload files—most are FTP. If yours is FTP, your hosting account will have a FTP function and most likely instructions on how to set your program up to upload your files. Since this is the most common way of uploading files, just search your application’s help file or ask the host directly for help. They’ll give you all the help you need because they want your site up and running so they can keep billing you
Yes, get an uploading program such as Cute FTP or WS_FTP. Ensure that you have a web domain AND a hosting provider. If you have both of these, you should be able to login to your hosting account, create an FTP login account and use one of those programs to upload files to the destination of your choice.
