Do I need to do something first and what do i do with the website when I've created it (ftp to NTL server/get it on there another way ?) Is the webspace just my own area of space on there server and once the website is on there how do people find it over the internet - will it automatically be found by search engines ?. I'll be using Internet Explorer. Basically where do I start !!. I've mailed NTL support twice with no reply !.

hiya &
First thing you need to do is ftp an index.htm file into your webspace root folder & then you can connect to it via http. Up to you what the file contains - from "welcome to my homepage" to a full blown website.
Be aware that the functionality of the NTL webspace is limited - it doesn't support server side extensions, for example.
you might like to read the article in the following link for more info on this

<edit> you could also have a look in the following thread I've just noticed on Dreamweaver
