hi everybody
i am using communityarchitect.com to offer free hosting to the users of my website. but when i subscribed for the service they asked me to change my existing name servers to there servers name. after i did my domain name was not pointing to my existing website any more, as i was using web forwarding to the space provided by my ISP. when i contacted community architect they said i should give them an IP address so that they can point the domain name to it. but i am not very familiar with all these things. and i do not have an IP address because i am using free webspace provided by my ISP.
so i started thinking to host my website somewhere else, but when i checked some hosting companies they asked me to change my DNS to there servers, if i do so i will not be able to offer free hosting at my website any more.
i hope my story is not very confusing.
do anyone know what i should do, so that i can use communityarchitect.com service and in the same time point my domain name to my website.
thanks for help.

I've never used Community Architect, so I don't know how they work, but most hosting companies give you a static IP address, which CA could forward people to. That way you wouldn't have to switch nameservers.

i'm sure that freeservers.com used to use and and I'm pretty sure they still do.
