I have a few more questions.
Ok, I went to GoDaddy and set up my account which is now in a pending status. It says that:
"After your account is set up, you can log back in to your Hosting Control Center to upload files to your Web site, create sub domains, customize your 404 pages, set up databases for your hosting account, and more."
Does this mean I can start building the site? See, I also have a domain through Website Tonight because of the ability to set up forums. Can I use templates through GoDaddy as well or will I need to use myWebsite Tonight domain name for the web building. This is where I'm confused.
I purshased my domain through GoDaddy thinking I could then use Website Tonight as my host and thus use the templates I saw there to build the site. I like my GoDaddy domain name much better than the one I bought through Website Tonight - I only bought it because it was so cheap. I don't need 2 sites.
Could you explain to me where I'm at now? And again -- Thank You!

Website Tonight is just another hosting option and you don't have to associate your domain with it. The templates that come with Website Tonight are best used for that hosting option. If you want to use your own custom templates or templates you've found online then you should use one of GoDaddy's regular hosting options.
I just want to clarify because you write as if your domain was bought through Website Tonight. Your domain is registered through GoDaddy and you chose Website Tonight for hosting. You don't have to use Website Tonight but it's the easiest to setup.
Did you buy two hosting accounts? Why do you say you have two sites? You only need 1 domain and then choose a host. Either Website Tonight or a regular host that allows you the most flexibility.
