pages on the internet are coming from servers, not client computers like your computer. You can goto like godaddy.com and buy serverspace(and a domain name), its like 7 bucks a month. Or you can download your own server software like apache and turn your client computer into a server that opens your computer to the internet. But beware of the security risks in opening your computer to the whole internet if you dont know how to keep things secure.
 
i have a html document using my notepad but i can't figure out how to put it onto a domain name and turn it into a url. or can i just put a url in the notepad document and make it accessible by any computer from the internet?
 
once you have created working HTML document, you may want to place it on some server (your own or rented one). there are many sites that will host your file for free but usually trade off is advertisement banner. you probably want to check hosting with your ISP, usually you get certain space with your account.

the file transfer itself may be through web based interface (just like email attachment in yahoo mail) or better using FTP (which is good if you have lot's of files but requires use of FTP client on your end).

finally you may not like the lenghty URL and would prefer something catchier. for that you need to pay up. you may talk to your ISP or some of the online dealers like godaddy.com or whoever...
