Help! Big time!

[Yoeri]

Okay guys...

I've just started out with this, I bought a domain off somebody here, and it's registered with www.name.com now, though it doesnt have any hosting there...
What i've figured out:
I want to get it hosted, and be able to use a
HTML/Visual editor, and an FTP (web)client.

How the HELL do i do this?

Probably the saddest question ever posted on the forums, so no flaming mk? I suck at this...

Hope i can get something useful out of this

1. Buy Hosting
2. Retreive nameservers.
3. Install nameservers @ domainname.
4. Have fun.

Or am I wrong?

1. Log into your Name.com account.
2. Click on the 'Account' icon at the top of your page.
3. At your 'Account' page, click on the domain name you wish to modify.
4. Be sure that your domain is unlocked; to unlock, click on the padlock icon.
5. On the 'Manage Domain Name' screen, click 'Edit Name Servers' in the 'Control Panel' on the right of the screen.
6. 'Remove' the old name servers, and 'Add' the new.

That's it! In roughly 24 hours, your name server propagation will be complete.
