I got a host for my website and I want to register a free DNS to use it. The host has only a nameserver, there isn't an IP address that points to my host, since it isnt a dedicated server. I've searched, but couldnt find any free DNS services that can point to a name server (ie, host address is something.onlinehome.us)
Does anyone know of a free DNS service that I can use for such host?

And that makes sense because it wants an IP address and not a nameserver address. Do you know if I can configure dyndns with a nameserver? how?

Not sure since it's Dynamic DNS and I haven't used it for static address.

Can't u just live with IP Address if it's not that important...?

again, my problem is that I dont have a dedicated server, and thus they dont give me an ip address. Instead, they give me the address to a name server. So instead of the ip, I have to type something like SOME_RANDOM_UGLY_TEXT.TheirDomain.Com

I found out that www.tk supports this, but unfortunatly it seems like the .tk DNS is made by a bunch of dumb chlidren. It doesn't really work correctly.
