I am very sorry if this has already been answered but I looked and couldn't find the answer.

I just registered a .COM domain for $33 dollars a year, but I don't know how to link it to my website which is here http://www.crossspot.net/rpgplanner/index.html
(this website is free and only like 2 megs because I can't afford anything else right now.)

When I go into my .COM domain it shows this:

Primary Host Name: and for example they have abc2.bizwebspace.com

and just beside that it has IP Address which shows this for eg
123.456.789.111

I contacted the website host and he said this:

You will need to contact your current web host & ask them what nameservers you need to use with your domain name. You can change the nameservers from within the domain management control panel.

I got no idea what that meens, please help me is there something I can use to get the ip address or the server name, i'm sorry I am not the smartest cookie in the jar when it comes to this sort of stuff, please help me in a step by step way.

You should do Domain Redirection.

First I am interested why you registered domain name for $33/year, when average price is $8/year?

Second, which Registrar did you use?

Third, You should have default Registrar nameservers added in order to use URL Forwarding.

I just paid the $33 dollars (most of them are around that price in Australia I think) doesn't really matter

I registered with www.bizwebspace.com.au

The only thing I can see close to url forwading is something that sais:

Primary Host Name: and for example they have abc2.bizwebspace.com

and just beside that it has IP Address which shows this for eg
123.456.789.111

do you know what to do?

You can enter your Hostname you want it to be forwarded to in there.

If you are not sure, I would suggest contacting their Customer Support regarding that.

shinjuji,

Most of the registrar provide the URL Forwarding feature.
Some of them are free, but some of them cost you a little amount of money.

You should ask your domain registration provider about this feature.

What you said about Primary Host is like the Primary Name Server to me, not the Domain URL Forwarding feature.
