You made the first right step in setting up a web site: having as registrar and as host two different companies. Well done!

Next, you will need to look for the DNS (= Domain Name servers or simply Nameservers) info at your hosting company. Usually, it is in the first email you got from them when signing up. Or read their FAQ/Help/Support.

When you have the correct DNS info, you must login to your registrar (godaddy) and change the DNS values in your account for that domain.

As far as I remember, both Godaddy and Hostgator have detailed instructions and video tutorials about how to do it. It would be also worth to search Youtube... there is a video for (almost) everything

  It could take up to 24 hours to get your domain and hosting activated.
  than you have to put a website on your server (Directory: public_html) or you can use a cms like wordpress from the cpanel.
