I just bought a domain and am trying to find a software that doesn't need html or other coding knowledge. something similar to what is provided by wix. I tried searching for whether or not I could buy the software from wix and upload my website on the domain host i've already bought from. What I found so far is that you can build your website in wix but can only host it through their website. Is there anything similar? I know a little flash and have adobe flash but I need a fast and very very easy software to use alongside... Any recommendations is greatly appreciated!!

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) is the best place for this. You don't need to go through the whole site, you can probably get by with the HTML baics and maybe a little CSS.
As for software, Dreamweaver is a good (but expensive) option. There might be a free version, but if you're serious about doing websites then at some point you'll probably want the full, paid version.
If you don't want Dreamweaver then KompoZer is another good option. It's free, but it's got less features than Dreamweaver so you might end up needing to play with the HTML a bit more.
NEVER NEVER NEVER use Frontpage. Microsoft has stopped updating it, and they did that for a reason. Your web host needs Frontpage extensions enabled for you to use it, and that can cost more. Also, it produces horrible, non standard HTML code that only Internet Explorer can understand properly. It was Microsoft's attempt to force us all to use Internet Explorer and the result was a twisted mess of a web design product. Use anyting, ANYTHING, else.
