purchase hosting, then make your dns settings ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com and then hey presto.. the host will look after all that other crap for you

Well... if you log on to namecheap.com you can go to Modify domain and then change the nameserver there, or use namecheap's server and choose URL-forwarding.

If your hosting your site on your own computer, I think it would be a good idea to use namecheap's nameserver. If not... your host should have info about how to admin your domain.

Until you get a HOST
you can use

URL Forward to
creat a subdomain on your domain and then forward it to another URL ( but new URL will be visible )

URL Frame to
creat a subdomain on your domain and then forward it to another URL ( and new URL will be hidden )
