HEY! I got some web hosting today! That's exciting. I got an account with Ipowerweb. Don't tell me they suck because it's too late now, so far they seem nice.
Ok so, my domain name is registered at Yahoo. I am trying to figure out how to...
How do I get my domain name to conect with my Host?
I just feel like an idiot.
The wait for live tech is long. So I thought maybe some of you experts could help. If not, thanks anyway.

Ipowerweb should have told you the DNS information for your web location. If you have a domain, you have to tell the registrar, in this case Yahoo, where to point that name. This is done with the DNS system. You can register your own name servers like dns1.yourdomain.com and dns2.yourdomain.com if Ipowerweb gives you two IPs. Otherwise just point your domain to the ipowerweb dns servers!.
If you check the ipowerweb help section you will see they use
ns1.ipower.com and ns2.ipower.com so you can just go to Yahoo and point your domain to those two servers. It takes anywhere from a few hours to 72 hours for that information to "propagate" across the web.
Thats all you have to do.

you have to configure a dynamic update software..which will update your dynamic IP maped with your domain..see www.dyndns.org .or noip.com.download the software and install it on the hosting pc ..if you have static ip assign IP with your domain.contact your domain provider for this .
if you want to test it from from your pc (behind modem/router) go to..www.vtunnel.com and type your domain in the url field it will open your page everything is configured properly.

Check out the link below. You tell them your domain name and they arrange for the updating of DNS services to reflect that your domain is on 'their' IP address.
