Complete Newbie with Really Basic Questions

[4jacks]

Hi,

I currently have a very very basic website on a free webserver
http://three.fsphost.com/4jacks/

It kinda suits all my needs, for now.

But I am interested in purchasing a Domain Name from Mad Dog.com and using that.

1) Can I purchase a domain name from anyplace and use it with my free server?
2) If that is possible, how do I do that?

Thanks so very much, more questions to follow.

Yes, you can do that, but you will need a redirection service to redirect the domain name to your free server. I've used this mob (http://www.redirection.net/) for this, and they seem fine.

I would actually go with a different web host. The problem with your current one is you'll need to redirect the users to the free host url from your main domain name. You need a host that will give you dns servers and will allow you to change them for your domain. I recommend www.freehostia.com
