    You can open up the html file in notepad. Probably the easiest way.

    Where is your website? Is it geocites, or have you actually bought hosting?

    How did you upload your website in the first place? Is there some webpage you can go to provided by your hosting provider that lets you upload, or do you FTP in, or SCP up for that matter?

    It sounds like you will, I was under the impression that you had made and uploaded the site yourself.

    Websites are (usually) hosted from servers in a data centre somewhere with a good connection to the internet. Because it is on a computer you don't have physical access to, you need to have a way of moving the files to this computer, so it can show your website to the world. There are a number of methods of doing this, some of which I outlined above. If you didn't move the files to the server in the first place, and don't have any login details for an FTP server to access your files, then you're going to have to ask the web design people to do it for you.

    Also, if I were you, I would get those details myself from the web design people so you can make minor changes when necessary, and so that you have access yourself if the relationship with the company ever becomes sour.
