    You need buy hosting plan. This is the place where you'll store files where others can access them. You'll also get bandwidth, addon domains, email addresses and databases.

    There are many hosting services available like HostGator, Dreamhost, BlueHost, etc. HostGator offers 24/7 live chat, email and phone support. You can buy shared hosting plan and attach your domain name there.

    Shared hosting plan is where your website is hosted on single server. So, you don't need to buy server and spend your resources in maintaining it. You can use coupon code 'zombiedays' to get first month for $0.01 for the first month. Just buy shared hosting plan - http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml and attach it with your domain using nameservers.

    You'll receive nameservers settings like ns521.hostgator.com and ns522.hostgator.com. Just enter these settings at your domain settings at 123reg.

    Bigger sites like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc have large datacenters and they spend billions to maintain them. Yours is small site and can be hosted by buying shared hosting plans. Most shared plans includes 1GB space and bandwidth which is enough for your site.

    After you buy hosting plan, install Wordpress and you can design website without coding.

    Don't buy a paid hosting. There are various free hosts. Start with them. See how it works. Get accustomed to the process. Once you are familiar you can anytime upgrade to a better host.

    If you want to start a blog. Go with blogspot.com its free. I have been using them for years.

    You can use your domain with them.

    Let me know if you face any problem. I will help you setup a website.
