This Web Hosting Stuff Has Me All Confused! Help?

I am pretty much new to this whole web hosting thing. I have decent knowledge of HTML and used CSS for my menu in my website. I have created my website (A Fantasy Football website) out of both. I used the program Notepad++ to do all my coding. Then saved my pages onto my desktop for now. I also used Paint Shop Pro to make my Website Template. That’s just the basic stuff about my site.
Now I thought choosing a web host would not be a big problem but I am more confused then ever. I am not worried about all this Php stuff and all that fancy stuff. I just want to be able to take my pages saved onto my desktop, take the code (html and CSS) and put it into a page. Something simple for me to edit my html and css cause it will always need to be updated.
Also I dont want free hosting. I want something dependable. So anyone who can offer any help on how all this works would be great!!!
If you want simple, shop by 2 things – a hosting company that’s been around for a while and price. You don’t need terabytes of storage, and if you need more bandwidth when you get a large audience, you can buy what you need.
I’ve used GoDaddy for years and have no complaints.
For six years, I wrote everything on my site in WordPad. It can be done.
You can still edit the stuff the same way you have been. The only thing you have to do at the host, beyond initial setup, is to upload the files, generally via FTP. Changed a page? Upload the new one over the old one.
I would recommend SiteSled they give you the most storage with no limitations for music, video clips or pictures site is http://www.sitesled.com and it is simple to use to edit the site from the server you need to use IE firefox or other browsers will only bring up the HTML of the page and not the template
If you spend $5 a month at Godaddy for Economy hosting, it will work more than fine. Simply ignore all the stuff about PHP and whatnot, use its file manager to upload your files, and you’re done.
