I am very new to web dev, so I apologize if this question is a bit daft. If I make a project on VScode with HTML and CSS, where and how would I post it online for others to see?

CodePen

Codepen.io: You can actually do your coding here, provides an automatic view update if you want, and you can do html, css, and JS all on one page. It’s all public though, but you can share a link and people can see your work. No need to add script or link tags, it’s setup to work right away.

GitHub Pages

In order of simplest to most complex: Neocities, Github Pages, Netlify. None of those require you to buy a domain. Neocities is my top recommendation if you just want to upload some HTML/CSS files and post it online because that's all it does. Don't jump to Netlify as your first step because you will get lost.

GitHub

Well you could post it a number of places, github.com is a good option, you could also post it on publically accessible sandboxes like codepen.io which has a fantastic vibrant community.

localhost.run

If you just want to show it to someone your site and then turn it off there's services like localhost.run (which I wrote so it's my favs) or ngrok that will let you temporarily put your local web server on an internet accessible domain, but neither of these are suited to things you want always on.

Glitch

Glitch.com: free static sites, you can upload the files you created. Ability to edit your code there in the browser as well. You can connect your own domain or use their auto-generated one (usually something like “green-flower-car.glitch.me”).

Firebase Hosting

I really like Firebase Hosting. All you need to do is add a simple configuration file to your code and execute 'firebase deploy'. For beginners they also make it real easy to point a custom domain to what you've deployed.

JSFiddle

If you just want to showcase your work you can use codepen.io or jsfiddle.net and if it's your portfolio you can host it on GitHub. You can even use Heroku or netlify.

Pantheon

Closest thing I've come across is https://pantheon.io/ but you can't hook up your own domain or have large traffic on the free tier so might not be useful.
