I have my domain and site through GoDaddy. Costs me a whopping $75/2years
As far as building/managing, knowing html code is helpful.
But I have a "cheat sheet"....
Cuties tools (escorts.biz) has a "blank page" template that operates a lot like Word with a tool bar much like what I see above where I am typing now.
So I go into one of those templates, create the wording that I want - size, page orientation, color, etc.- and then click a little <> button and TA DA! I have the HTML code for that page to copy and paste over to my GoDaddy site editor.
Easy Peasy!
