To register your domain name you will have to visit some domain registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap and actually register it. Once registered you need to sign up for a free account with us using your domain name (if not done already) and change the name server entries for your domain to our name servers (ns01.000webhost.com and ns02.000webhost.com) which is done at your domain registrar.. DNS propagation will take a while (24-48 hours) and when propagated you will see our default page.

From there on it is uploading your website files to the public_html directory of your 000webhost.com account which will result in your website being displayed instead of our default.php file. To add your site to search engines you have to submit it to them. For exampe Google -> https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url

Ok thank you for your help much apperciated

I have one question though once I am done. How does uploading the files to public_html so that way I can make my domain official?

You can upload your files using the file manager in members area/cpanel or by using an ftp client such as filezilla. A tutorial on how to use filezilla is here - [TUTORIAL] How to FTP to the 000Webhost Servers
