I'm just started as a graduate in a web applications company even though I have zero web-related experience (I studied C# web forms in college but no internet stuff). Specifically my new company uses ASP.NET MVC 3.

Since I have a lot to learn I'm planning get a website up and running in my free time so as to learn from the very start and build up from there. I want to start off with a static html site with some css for styling.

Later on I'd like to make the site dynamic by putting in some javascript and finally I'd like to build some applications.

If I choose an ASP.NET 4.0 hosting service site from the very beginning can I deploy basic .html files or would they be looking for some sort of deployment package (whatever Visual Studio produces)?

Would I be better off choosing a more basic hosting service initially and migrating when I want to start building applications?

(I already have a domain registered if that makes any difference)

any asp.net hosting would serve up html files just fine.
