This step will vary depending on where you registered your domain name, but we will provide a full explanation with examples for those who registered with 1and1, or Go daddy

In order for your domain name to point to your web space, you need to tell it where the web space is. To do this, we use something called "Name servers". A name server is simply an address that you need to point your domain to in order for it to connect with your web space.

The name servers for Wealthy Affiliate Hosting are:

Primary: NS1.MYWAHOSTING.COM
Secondary: NS2.MYWAHOSTING.COM

This guide and the links have made the process much clearer. Since I'm very new to IM it is still daunting. I'll persevere.

Need a "review page" with more info on .com vs .net vs .org vs .info etc
For a brand new person going thorugh the process the first time logging onto that domain page is overwhelming.
