The costs are the same as anything. You need storage, bandwith, etc. If you buy that from someone else, great, but you have to buy it and make sure that you get enough. We can host our websites easily on a $5/mo plan, but our storage needs make us use a $20/mo plan. We storage a lot of stuff on our web servers.
If you are running your own web server the costs are what you would expect... storage, bandwidth, etc.

Sounds like you have a bit of ground to cover. Are you looking to learn about web hosting or just want to get something up and running? If you want to learn, set up an Apache web server and built some HTML. Lots of "Learning HTML" resources online. Once you understand that, install Wordpress and learn how that creates HTML on the fly.
If you just want to get something up and running, look for a server that doesn't just do web hosting but runs the Wordpress site for you too, so you just add content.

Not sure if it is the best, but it is definitely the most famous.

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.
