Well, technically you don’t need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don’t have your own IP (like a shared host) you’ll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.
Yes. My mistake. What I meant to say is that I didn’t realize you needed something to host the site on. I tried to send my friend the file and expected them to open it…from my computer.
I had a similar problem in the late 90s except I was in my late 20s and a friend of mine got me into web developing. It took me a couple of weeks to realize I didn’t need to spend 30 minutes uploading my work via ftp over a 56K line to see the website. I could have just opened it up with a browser on my own computer. I wasted a lot of time.

I was a bit of a noob back in the day.
Nowadays you can just use notepad and share the link to your Microsoft OneDrive folder…
