2 Free hosting

What is the internet? Some computers are always online. We call them servers and they are owned by hosting companies. If you want to have a website, you need to put files on the hard disk of such a server. A hosting company sells space on the hard disks of their server computers. The URL of a site will bring you to the specific map of a specific server where your the files of your site have been stored.

To put a site online you need to put files on the server computer. You can do that with FTP software like the free software FileZilla. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. If this software can be used online, it is often called Web-FTP.

Your primary task is to find free webspace. Do so by typing "free webspace" in Google. Good luck with the hunt! Go for a hosting company without publicity and which allows you to put files online and to use PHP.
