Okay, first of all I don't know squat about setting up a webpage. I have set up a free hosting account at http://iamaelephant.bluemonday.org and registered the domain http://www.iamaelephant.net . I have set up the name server on www.iamaelephant.net correctly and I want that address to redirect to my hosting account. How exactly do I go about this? I'm not sure what the address it is currently directing to (the name servers I was given were ns6.atotchat.org and ns7.atotchat.org ).

I just tried using the Parked Domains feature in the control panel of my hosting server and that seems to have worked - is that the correct way of doing it?

Each service has it own "Shticks" ask, or find their faq support, do not mess with it. If you make mistakes it would take extra hours (or days) to propagate over the Internet DNS, and it would point to the wrong address.
