You probably need to give us more information, but here is a stab at this.
Presumably you have designed your site on-line and therefore you have a URL for you site ?
Your domain you purchase will have some admin settings, one of which will be forwarding. You need to forward the domain to the URL of your site. If they is an option for Masking or something like that then choose it as this will enure that your domain name carries forward onto the site.
e.g.
your domain = www.abcdiscos.com
your site = abcdiscos.mynicesite.com
forward to abcdiscos.mynicesite.com
when visitors come to your site they will always see.....
www.abcdiscos.com/....<pages>.
Hope this makes sense and is of some help
Cheers

You need to FTP the site you created onto your webspace then you need to log in to the site where you bought your domain name and edit the name servers to the servers of your webspace. You webspace provide should be able to tell you the name of their servers if you don't already know.
