Back to the original question:

Creating a website in Outlook Express seems impossible, maybe daft but here goes...

get the correct URL of your hosting space from your ISP...
using a program like Cute or Dreamweaver or other FTP software - upload the saved HTML file/s of your webpage or site to that URL space

Others can advise differently but that is how I've done it for decades...

IMHO use a proper website design software - avoid M$ Frontpage - it's crazy file handling system is stupid and pointless. Using Dreamweaver or Adobe products are favourable.
Some hosting companies provide website templates which are very easy to use but obviously restrictive as they are to THEIR taste not yours IYSWIM.

Good luck and let us know when you've done it!
