    After bought Domain, you'll need to have Hosting. If i'm not mistaken goDaddy offering hosting too but i'm not using it so i'm not sure.
    If you buying hosting from goDaddy, you should be able to directly 'bind' that to your domain ( check on goDaddy's help or menus ).What to do after that is to upload your website to that Host ( usually via FTP ). Make sure you make your homepage as index.html, and when someone type your domain on the url, your web would be displayed.

    - The next step is to find a good hosting provider and signup.
    - Then assign your hosting provider's nameservers to your domain name.
    - Finally, upload your files to your hosting account and your website will be online :)

    Good luck.

    As others have pointed out, you will need some kind of hosting account to upload your files to.

    The easiest way to upload your files to your web server is via FTP. This is very easy and there are plenty of tutorials out there on how to do this, but PM me if you need any help.

    Buy a hosting plan configure your domain account from the godaddy domain account control panel. name your home as index, default. that should be it.
