Dreamweaver/Hosting/IIS, I'm so lost... Options

[psychoteddy]

Ok, so I'm using Dreamweaver 8 and I went through the tutorials and what not, but once it came to publishing my website, I became completely lost.

I tried to install IIS on my computer, but i'm not sure if that's all I need for other people to view my website on the internet, and even then, the IIS doesn't work correctly.

I've searched for various tutorials, but none of them were very user-friendly. =/

I also get confused whent it comes to FTP, so if someone could help me out or point me to a good user-friendly tutorial, that would be awesome.

Thank you.
