Little confused here. If you are putting up a web site for your boss, you need to get a hosting site to host your web pages, graphics, etc.. If you plan on using scripting languages and databases, then you need a paid hosting site.

Once you have the hosting site, there are two ways (maybe more) of getting your pages online. One is to use the hosting site's Control Panel given you to upload or copy/paste your pages into the correct folders. Second, you could use FTP, which is much faster and allows for multiple files/folder uploads.

If you have your own FQDN then you could host the site yourself. Your options for hosting basically consist of Apache or IIS since they cover 90% of the market share. The other 10% are most likely server such as WEbrick and Mongrel used for hosting ruby apps.

Just curious, what book are you reading?

Does this website include active content such as php or javascript?
