Please correct the question so that it describes the specific problem with sufficient detail to determine the appropriate answer. Do not ask a few questions at once.

  • Use github pages as a free hosting. and fasten your name to it: isizov.ru/kak-dobavit-domen-k-github-pages - spectre_it
  • Maybe. To answer the question "how" you should contact the hosting support. - user194374
  • free hosting usually provide a third (or fourth) level domain. At the registrar (who will register your dns for the domain) you need to register a CNAME record with an indication of the domain of free hosting. As a result, it will be possible to reach your site by two names simultaneously. - KoVadim

DNS should be registered in the domain control panel

When buying / ordering hosting hosting usually sends the addresses of NS-servers along with your data for hosting.

They usually look like this (or as IP addresses):

ns1.hostersite.com ns2.hostersite.com

These addresses should be specified in the DNS settings for the domain in the domain control panel (where the domain was registered)

After saving the DNS settings, it should take up to 48 hours until the DNS is updated globally, after that your website will be available (the domain will be attached to the hosting)

Accordingly, on the hosting you should have created a site with the name of your domain
