After you purchase your domain, you need to change the DNS settings to point to the Wealthy Affiliate servers. This is easily done within your control panel by selecting the desired domain name and clicking the DNS drop-down box and selecting Edit DNS Setting
When you open the DNS settings window, you will be presented with the current DNS settings for that domain. You will need to change the name server to 'my name server' and then enter the Wealthy Affiliate name servers in the primary and secondary name server boxes below.
when you click the OK button, you will go to a screen telling you that the process was successful. They can take 2 to 24 hours for the updates to take effect, the most of the time it is done long before that.
Now that the DNS has been updated to point to the WA servers, you can get to work to setting up your new website by installing WordPress express through the create website function within WA.

I have purchased a domain using 1& 1, It said that that your domain registration has begun, but thus far, I haven't received info regarding my domain... has this happened with anyone before?

I have used 1&1 and they seem to be the easiest and the cheapest to work with, although because it was my first domain it has taken a couple of days for them to approve my purchase because I had to send them photo ID and business registration documents before they would confirm the purchase. Hopefully now that I am registered with them I won't need to go through this process again.
Going in and changing the DNS settings is also easy, but now it tells me I have to wait up to 24hours for the settings to take effect in WA so I am currently here twiddling my thumbs waiting for that to happen so I can start building my webpage :)
