How to fully use my (bought) domain with my hosted website...?

Wolverine

Hi!
I have a .org.uk domain with 1&1.
I have hosting with pluck 0lx (it's free, but it's fully functional).
What I want to do is use the .org.uk domain properly.

As in, rather than just redirect to the true location, I want to be able to see https://www.fmuk.pluck.0lx.net/feedback.html (for example) through https://www.fmuk.org.uk/feedback.html

I'm looking at both control panels (domain and hosting) but I'm having trouble understanding them! With the domain control panel, do I "edit DNS settings"? If so, do I set it to DNS or CNAME and how?
With the hosting control panel, do I use "addon domains" or do I use "parked domains"...

Apologies if I'm being a complete noob, but I'm new to all this!

you need to change the DNS settings to the hosts that you are using first so you can pick up the site as normal. For changes to DNS settings, wait a few hours for the changes to take place(maybe 24hrs)

Then when this is done, goto you main control panel(host) and create a sub domain as you want and change the direction of the main site to point to the sub domain.

Hope it helps, and doesn't confuse you anymore as it can be hard to explain the process of domain handling
