I get that you want to try stuff out and learn as much as you can before you buy a domain and hosting, but from one relative newbie to another I think you're making things more difficult for yourself.
I was forced by circumstance to start my own site this summer and going in I didn't know ish about anything. Literally every single aspect of building and running my site was brand new to me. w3schools is an amazing resource, but your hosting cpanel will come with a 'start-up wizard' that walks you through things like setting up FTP as well.
Also, if you go with a hosting company that offers live support (like hostgator-no affiliate link, they're just amazing) they can offer tips if you set it up and end up making a mistake.
Practise is a good thing but sometimes you just have to go for it, kwim? Either way, good luck
