Smart.
Hi Welcome to Sitepoint!
Seems like you are fairly new to this web world.
First of all, you’ll need not only the domain name from the hosting server, but also you need to buy some space from the hosting server. If you have all that. Now we move onto the next step.
Not sure if you know about ftp. If you don’t, what you need to do is, find out three things from your hosting server: ftp host url, ftp user, and ftp password. Using these three parameters and a ftp client (i prefer FileZilla, just google and download for free) you will be able to remotely connect to your web server and upload all your files onto the server to make your site live.
P.S. One thing you need to make sure is that the server supports your version of languages used, e.g. your php and mysql version. But most servers these days should be good with almost the latest, so you should just be able to ftp your files up and be good.
