Trying to set up a website: namecheap, wix, 1&1. Please help! :)

After reading lots of posts on setting up a website, reading blogs, etc. I set out to build a website. I've put out a few free ones using Yola, and Synthasite back in the day...but I wanted something better than that. All of my research led me to understand that I could either build the website using code or use a drag and drop template. I chose the later. 

My understanding was also that I need to buy the domain, build the site, and pay for hosting. Maybe I'm going to learn something here, but I chose 3 different options for each of those. I bought a couple domains through namecheap.com, I've built a couple sites on Wix, and I bought hosting through 1&1. In my research, it seemed like each of these options were among the best options I could chose. The only thing I might have done differently would be to use WordPress instead of Wix (since I've heard so many people use WordPress), but after Brandon Turner showed us all how to set up the website on Wix I thought that would be sufficient. 

However, I'm now at an impass!! I can't seem to connect them all together....or hopefully I'm missing the spot where I can do that. I can't find a phone number for customer service on Wix...it directs me to a "live chat" section, but all I seem to find in there are FAQs with no option for a real live chat. Can anyone provide any direction to help me put these pieces together??!! I would be grateful for any help! Thank you!!!
