I want to create a website and I just bought this domain name. What's next after that?

So you bought a domain name with absolutely no idea on how to actually create a website? I don't think that anyone here is going to be able to walk you step by step through the process of building a site. Maybe you need to hire someone that specializes in doing this.

What's next? Create the website and find a web host.

I bought the name to push/motivate myself to create one but any ways I wanted to use word press to create the site. Any ideas?

Lots of info online:
Using Wordpress to create a website (http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&tbo=d&sclient=psy-ab&q=using+wordpress+to+build+a+website&oq=using+wordpress+to+&gs_l=hp.1.0.0l4.1440.10017.0.13167.19.12.0.7.7.3.4 36.2968.0j5j4j1j2.12.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.k28CVnPa ScY&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41524429,bs.1,d.dmQ&fp=b41e51635d659c62&biw=1680&bih=899&safe=active)

After buying domain you also need to buy hosting service , hosting service will provide you space on which you are going to host your website. Once you will buy hosting server you need to upload the name servers of your hosting server to your domain. After that you have to start working on the website like if you want to create website on word press , you have to install wordpress on your domain.

Or did you buy the domain name though a hosting service ( this is more common)

Where did you buy the domain ? Often times they offer hosting too. Call their customer service and let them know what you want to do.

If you created a username and password at wherever you bought the domain from , log in and buy hosting if they offer that.

There are few free online site builder and you don't need lot of technical requirement but possible it will take too much time and every thing will get hitch pooch so just go with web solutions websites, here you can make some research on getting affordable services providers
