Buy a domain, and hosting.
With your hosting you will get a ftp login and pass, use a program like smart ftp to connect to it and you will be able to upload you webpage files there.

To create a basic page you can use frontpage or better yet dreamweaver, or find a template online then edit that.

thanks but can you give me a good place to get hosting or are they all the same? thank you

Doesn't anyone look around before asking nowadays? Sheesh.
