You really need to ask the wordpress.com people how to do that properly:
http://en.support.wordpress.com
000webhost.com has some DNS which should be entered in the DNS of your domain in wordpress.com
You have to make sure u have not set that domain primary domain in wordpress.com
it will take arround 3 hours
then u can add your domain in 000webhost.com as parked domain.
then it will take 24 to 72 hours
and you will be up and running
dont forget to put your domain in wordpress admin panel once its installed.
A Few days back i was asking these things [:D]

excuse me, but im in a bit of confusion. Here is my situation. my domain that I purchased from WordPress.com is Huloji.com. I set my huloji.wodpress.com domain as my primary domain and then I edited the DNS of huloji.com to the ones given to me on 000webhost.com The site that I signed up with was huloji.com, and I cannot park huloji.com onto itself, so was i supposed to make a dummy site or something? is Parking the domain essential in the process?
Here is what I see http://s1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/jugal112/?action=view¤t=Untitled.jpg
As you can see, my original domain IS huloji.com and i have nothing else to park there.
Joogle,
I’ve made this transfer a few times and I’m not sure if you are running into the same bit or not. Disregard this if it doesn’t hit home for you.
Editing your Name Servers and your DNS are done in different places with WordPress.com. This can be confusing if this is the first domain you’ve ever purchased or if you are new to using WordPress.com systems.
You need to edit your Name Servers to get your domain pointed outside of WordPress.com. If you edit DNS (Upgrades->Domains->Edit DNS) you are only controlling what happens once the domain is inside the WordPress.com name server environment. This isn’t the right behavior if you are moving hosts.
To point your domain to your new host, you have to edit your Name Servers, available by going to Upgrades->Domains->Manage Your Domains
You have to go through the process of setting up a pin, etc. but that will give you the ability to use an interface similar to GoDaddy’s domain manager, to point your Name Servers to your new host.
Hope this helps.

oh wow! thank you. i didn’t see where i had to set up a pin, but i did manage to edit the name servers!. thank you so much, your help is greatly appreciated. that was the step i was stuck on for days!
I think this mite be my last question. Sorry for the trouble
In 000webhost, there are IP Addresses for both nameservers. What do i do with those? Do I just disregard them? I ask this because I wonder “How does 000webhost know that huloji.com is MY domain with only nameservers?”
After the nameservers have settled in the 24-48 hour time period, is there anything else I need to do? I know I have to set up the MySQL database which is self explanatory.
Hi Joogle,
I just followed up on this and see that you have a WP site live at your domain. When you get a chance, please share how you got to the finish line on this. Was it by setting your nameservers to ns01.000webhost.com, ns02.000webhost.com ?
