Code Editors and Previewing Work?

After finishing a track here I was very excited to start working a little on my own projects. Due to various reasons I cannot get an editor downloaded, and even if I could I don't know if it would preview my work. So I'd like to stay with an online editor, but the only one that seems to allow previews of my work is Workspaces, which I won't be able to use forever. Is there any other online editors that show previews? I can't imagine I'm expected to write lines and lines of code without any reference as to what it looks like finished, or be required to buy a domain and server just to see my website.

You can make websites using the notepad of your operating system, save it as .html and you can preview your work by double clicking on it or opening it with your browser.

If you can download a text editor, I recommend you Sublime Text because it let's you preview your work using right click on it's interface

Sorry it took a while to get back on this, but I was having so much fun using Sublime that I forgot I had asked the question. Thank you so much Jesus. Now, how do I mark a comment as best answer?
