It varies from host to host, but here is the answer from their FAQ

Q: What are your nameservers and how do I use them?
ns1.frihost.net and ns2.frihost.net for server 1. ns1.frih.net and ns2.frih.net for server 2. You only need them if you want to host your domain(s) with us. To do this, simply go to your domain registrar(where you registered the domain). Search for a page where you can enter nameservers for your new domain. Most of the time it is called "Nameserver setup", "DNS management" or "DNS registration".
After that, you will have to park that domain in cPanel (server 1) or add it as an additional domain (domain setup) in DirectAdmin (server 2).
After doing this and waiting for the domain to propagate on the internet, you will be able to use your brand new domain.

After that just install a blog script, like WordPress on your hosting... and you will have a blog :)

That is what. Where exactly to upload the wordpress folder? In the root or the folder cgi.....??

[TcM]

root folder. then just type in the url and it will take you to the installation. But before just setup a database.

You are more than welcome :)

If you will need some more help I can always provide some help.

[Xav]

Um, Chinmoy, it's "Xav", not "XAV". It's not an acronym, it's my name. ;)

[Sionofdarkness]

And if it was an acronym, I can't imagine what it would stand for.

[Chinmoy]

ok, sorry, Xav!

[TcM]

XAV, Xav, xav, XaV, xAv and all the other possibilities.... it's still referring to you. Name or not.

[Chinmoy]

Exactly. As long as you get its' you, name doesnt' matter i guess.
