any help is greatly appreciated i know its alot, but i will be very gratefull for anyone that is able to help me !! thank you.

 

yes you need the password, you ned an ftp program up upload the files..
you need to edit the html to have it say what you want, change the images in the images folder to what you want.

for a into, you will need to make it, .index.html , wich means thats the first page that everyone will see when they go to www.yourdomain.com

google html school, i think its called w3 or something, teaches you basic, and advanced stuff.
