You have choosen the “right” server (Linux). That’s a first step.
To have your site fitting ALL screen resolutions, you need to design it as a “liquid layout”, that is, a layout that stretches or shrinks following the screen width (or, to be more precise, the “window width”, as the browser may not have been maximized).
To do this, you set all your tables or divisions with a total width of 100%.
Example with tables:
(( total = 100% ! ))
If you want it “centered”, but leaving a margin:
(( total = 100% of the 80%! ))
This one will give you margins of 10% each side. (10% margin, 80% table, 10% margin)

Publisher is not the best program to design web-pages: it is actually designed to make “things” to be printed (”published”), like leaflets or posters. A better solution if you have limited knowledge of coding would be to use something like Dreamweaver. (I hate it, but it is a matter of taste)

To upload your site to your server, you can log-in through Cpanel, and use “file maintenance”: it has a file upload facility that allows you to upload your pages to the server.
If you use and IDE like Dreamweaver, you can set it up to upload the files to your server directly.
Finally, you can download FTPexplorer (I think it is still free), to upload FAST to your server. I have used it for many years.

Publisher is NOT a web page editor. You’re pages are not going to work in all browser windows because Publisher/FrontPage/Word all insert so much Micro$oft schema code other browsers just don’t understand it. Only IE products will.
