Go for the cheapest one based in the UK.
http://www.123-reg.co.uk tends to be one of the cheapest. Averages out £2-3 for a .co.uk .com for a year.
Once ou buy a domain name you need hosting. Hosting is the space you store your website on, so it's a server housing your website folder with the files in. With 123 reg you get a free domain name with the hosting sometimes.
http://www.one.com is also good.
If you buy a domain name and hosting from different countries, you need to link the host to the domain name. Which makes it easier to sometimes do a host and domain name from the same country, if a little bit more expensive.
FTP is the means of travel for your files to the host. For example the FTP address for apple will most likely be ftpa.apple.com
You'll have your username and password emailed to you by the hosting people.
Once you put in FTP address, username and password click on Test. Connection should be instant, if it takes a while it's not going to work. If put in correctly, it will say Dreamweaver connected safely. This means it's now linked.
Save out and click done.
When you're connected o you have a little icon of two leads connecting together, you can click it and it goes green to show it's connected.
You can literally drag and drop from local files to remote server.
Online content management systems
Able to alte captions and text remotely, good for your clients to be able to manage stuff a little bit themselves or to even work remotely from any web-connected device.
You basically specify editable regions. You can give permission to the user of the website to exactly what you want and don't want them to, so they can't mess up the website.
CushyCMS is very simple and easy to set up, recommended.
