Are you trying to use your own domain that you own, or are you just sticking with the provided sub domain?

the provided sub-domain

In that case, you should be able to immediately start uploading the website's files through FTP or SFTP (instructions are on the "File manager" page). If the website requires a database, you can create one through the Databases page; you'll also need to edit the configuration of the site to use the new database login information, also on that page.

If you don't already have a site, I usually recommend starting with a phpBB forums install, and going from there -- the forum is usually the core component to a community. Branching out to a full site, Wordpress is probably the easiest option, but Drupal could also be a good choice.
