Jump to PostI wouldnt use freewebspace.com if i was you, their customer service is terrible. If something goes wrong they dont reply to your emails, and they dont have a UK call centre.

Jump to Postwell if you want to see them yourself you can view it on your computer only (provided u haven't use any server side scripts) or if you want others to see it you really have to push them in webspace to to do that you need a web hosting service.

As I've seen so far, a web host with forced banners or ads usually has a good customer service. The bigger the ads, the better the service =)
I've used a web host without ads and it didn't go well. Actually it was SO bad. I couldn't even log in.
If you also use CSS, I suggest you take the one without ads because I've tried CSS with ads from web host and it ruined the layout.

I'm not saying free hosting is bad, but if you're going to take this all seriously then it makes sense to consider all the options.

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Whoever you pay to let you connect to the Internet usually (not always) allows you some space to upload your files to.
Who is your ISP?

OK. According to their website you get 5MB of webspace (assuming you are on high-speed/DSL and not plain old dialup).
That is more than enough for you at this stage.
