    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.

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

    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.
