Yes...you are right, you can't have the carrot (Site Central) until you register your domain name and you can't get your domain name (at least through SBI) until you purchase SBI.

In order to build the site you will not need HTML. I know nothing, although I have learned a little so far while building the site to do small things...and I intend to learn more. It is a great way to get your feet wet with HTML without having to really learn it in depth. They walk you through the codes you might need and make it very easy.

As far as Paypal...as I mentioned in the other reply, you will not need this until your site is underway.
