Starting a New Website?

And a more advanced HTML one:

While 'hard coding' is still very much used, many forgo that avenue and take the route using CMS - Content Managed Software.
CMS software includes Drupal, JOOMLA!, WordPress, and more that I can't think of right at the moment.
You can set these or any other hosting up in a easy or 'hard' way. There are companies like GoDADDY, HostMonster, BlueHost and so forth that will set you up with a $5.00 month plan, Registry and all. With those you can use the Script Installer to install any number of software. you get the Registration, Hosting and etc all in one package.
You can also go to any company for hosting, managing your registration separately. There are some differences of opinion that this is better way to go. Commercial wise - that may very well be true. But for a personal site (like mine) that isn't dependent on it,... a 'package' is fine.
You can use HTML anywhere as @scottalanmiller stated. I started with FrontPage, and deciphering HTML - While I used FP, I never really liked it as it added dozens of other folders that I felt was pointless.
Today if I needed to build a site I would use either WordPress or JOOMLA! I cut my teeth on JOOMLA! 1.x and was able to get a simple, limited content site online in about 20 minutes.

As a matter of fact,.. even with a CMS system, you can still use HTML codes. Knowing HTML structure is something that continues to carry forward.
