i need to know how to make my domain work i bought it from domain.com

Hi!!! im new at domains so can any one help me with this problem. Well i bought a .com from domain.com and i have it all setup and i got a nice controlo pannel but how do i make the domain actually work ? Well hope you guys can reply fast this has been bothering me all day.

Not familiar with that company so I can only make general statements.
All you generally need to do is go where it is registered and set the nameservers to whatever your hosting company provided. 2-48 hours later when the world types in yourdomain*com it will appear.
If you bought your domain and hosting at the same place I imagine they did this for you.
Your files need to be in the correct folder to be seen. On cPanel servers that is public_html. It is named other things on other control panels.
No one is going to mind if you post your site name in the same format as I used above. Only live links are banned.

You have to ask your web host what's their nameservers.
If they tell you ns1.yourwebhost.com and ns2.yourwebhost.com then that's what you put in.

I am really confused about now.
It looks like you have gone with a free host. So your web address is (replace the * with a .
filez101*ucoz*com
I am seeing your site or someone's site at that address.
Now if you purchased the filez101 domain name it is possible to point it to that free hosting but the only people who can tell you how to do that are the people at ucoz*com.
Best wishes.
