This is mostly for Scrub. A few others may know what im talking about.
So say I have a website hosted on free hosting. I purchased a Domain name through GoDaddy. I want to apply my Domain name to my free hosted site. I dont want to control my Domain through my free hosting. I want Total DNS control through GoDaddy.
Ive tried the applying the nameservers method. While it did work... any time I clicked a link, it showed my old URL.
Just as an exmaple:
I purchased Mileyissexy.com. My old sites URL was Mileyissexy.freehost.com.
The home page shows up right as Mileyissexy.com. However when i go to a page on the site it will show up as Mileyissexy.freehost.com/pics, instead of Mileyissexy.com/pics.
I just tried adding an A record with it pointing @ ip address of my free hosted site.
Im awaiting on the DNS to propogate. In the meantime, I just wanted to see if I am doing this right?

Think you are correct in waiting for the DNS to propagate. 72 or more hours.
