+bazillion on hurry up and get your domain name - google does 'em cheap ($12/yr for .com).

I could actually host your stuff, or configure your own VPS to do it, but I don't do CMSes (content management system - this is what you want) so while I could get one installed I'm not up on the fine details of secure configuration, etc. or doing much with them once they are installed.

I would recommend looking at using a hosted WordPress install. As to who to host I'm not really current with who is out there ... but ionos.com (formerly 1and1) used to have a great reputation for doing it right and doing it cheap. And I would avoid godaddy (prices on DNS registration just kept going up). A quick check shows ionos/1and1 offers hosted wordpress and other CMS packages but they also offer plain old hosting (you create and upload html/php/whatever files) and a "website builder" which is probably a in-house CMS with a builder wizzard to pick themes and such.

I would be certain to purchase your domain elsewhere and then point it to 1and1 or whoever you end up choosing to host your stuff, this way you aren't stuck being unable to move your domain elsewhere at your whim.
