Once you've gotten a host and your domain name you now need to get to work. The first thing to do is

to link the domain name to your host. There are two things involved; nameservers and webspace. Nameservers are DNS pointer provided by the host to direct the domain name to the host and there are usually two of them but may vary depending on host (the more there are the better). The domain name provider always asks for this (in domain panel). Once you enter your nameservers on domain panel, you check to see if a webspace has been created for your domain name. Click on addon domain to add as much domain names as possible to just one hosting account (there may be a limit).

This video was made several years ago and the host/domain provider may be unreliable:

It takes a maximum of 48 hours to go around the internet but rarely does it take that long - few minutes to hours is usually the ideal time it takes. Once it's linked there may be a welcome page on your homepage or just a blank page with something like index of.... For beginners it advisable they use a easy to use tool to called softaculous to install a web software (script) of their choice. It has been a long time since I last used softaculous so I'm not sure of the current software composition. I do know however that it has some very useful tools such as Joomla (used for Uvervid) and Clipbucket (which you can use to create a site like Youtube).
