What do you do to get ideas and inspiration for your songs? For example, taking a walk when you get writer's block.

You can run them on your own machine if you're just testing for functionality and not planning to publish publicly on the Internet.

If you do want to publish publicly, you have the option of using free web hosting services (e.g. Heroku and more) or purchasing web hosting. If you're playing around with code, I would generally stick to free hosting - paid services are more appropriate if you have a lot of code running, or planning to have a lot of traffic going to your site.

Free web hosting will generally mean the URL will look like customname.hostingservice.com. To have your own web domain (e.g. customname.com) you would need to purchase a domain name from a domain name registrar. Buying hosting is separate from buying a domain name (although some companies will sell both services).
