Answer 1

You'll need a web server running a HTTP distribution such as Apache or NGINX. If you're learning and looking to test things as they develop you can use a local solution, such as XAMPP.

Even simpler, if you're writing your html to a .html file, then you could just open it with your browser.

However, getting your website online will take some looking around for what suits you. Some services offer free web hosting (albiet very limited ability). Most will cost. Currently I use Digitalocean. Cheapest options are about $5/month.

I recommend taking a look at the CSS course too if you're building it from scratch - to make your HTML look pretty.

Answer 2

Use githubs hosting for your first website. They allow one free website on their servers per account and you can practice deployments, versioning, and git while also building a public repository of your code for a portfolio.

GitHub is your friend

Answer 4

if am writing an html to a .html file and then open it with my browser, will other people be able to view it online?

Answer 5

only if you deploy it to a server.

If your website isn't indexed and crawled by a search engine, then it won't be discoverable, but people with the url will be able to view the deployed files.
