Hi,

I purchased new domain www.warriorforumnow.com and hosted also on hostgator.com
It would be really appreciative if anybody can tell me if I want this site made on drupal then what to proceed now?

Regards,
Prashant

Download Drupal (you can even try Drupal 7 if you are just practicing... it will come out by the time you're ready!). Download a good theme (or use a standard theme that comes with Drupal, or create your own -- there are docs on how to do that). Download any modules you need (try different ones). Install Drupal, theme, and modules. Configure Drupal (go through administration section one by one), and write some content!

If you don't know how to install Drupal, then after downloading it from this website, you need to unzip it (except it's not zip -- so if you're using Windows, get 7Zip to do that). Actually installation is described in http://drupal.org/node/628292 :)

You need to read handbook's available on drupal.org http://drupal.org/handbook
or optionally you can buy few drupal related books to get started http://drupal.org/books
