How to link a free webhosting to a paid domain?

ive subscribed to a paid domain which doesnt have a web hosting plan. However, ive subscribed to a free web hosting plan. how do i use the host for the domain? Thank you!

Chosen Answer:

it depends; most of the free hosting providers give URLs like:

http://freehosting.com/blahblah/sitename

here you can’t change your domain name servers to be pointed to something like this. if your domain registrar company allows you to have a simple HTML page for the domain, one of the ways would be putting a redirection code in this page; however few domain registrars do this for domain names. you’d fine some name servers that also offer forwarding. they can also get a domain name and forward it to a URL.

    Your web hosting provider should give you detailed instructions on how to do this.Usually,this is done by going to your domain registrar and logging in to your domain management/control area and changing the name servers from your registrar’s to your new host’s name servers.
