The domain name will point a domain to your real hosting server (where your web pages physically located). And you can use a web design tool (e.g. dreamweaver) to design your web pages.
After design your web pages, these pages are located on your own computer (desktop or laptop), then you can use a FTP (or web based file transfer tool) to transfer these web pages from your own local computer to remote hosting server.
You dnt need a program (unless ur a Mac user).
You can access FTP from Internet Explorer.
An example would be (if the website was www.firefirefire.com
ftp://firefirefire.com
that should bring up a box for you to enter your P.w and U.name.
Hope this helps.
