I'm starting to get my feet wet with web design, and so I've bought a couple of domain names. I intend to set up one so that the primary domain and the www subdomain point to a hosting server, and the blog subdomain points to a blogspot blog. I've successfully pointed the domain to the hosting server by changing the nameservers, but now I can't get the blog subdomain to work. When I set it up at my registrar's website, it does nothing. Am I understanding correctly that my registrar still controls DNS for my domain, or is DNS completely delegated to the hosting nameservers? If that's the case, I may have some trouble, since I'm using a free host that doesn't have full DNS control. Still, It seems illogical to me that I can't tell my registrar that two subdomains on my site are hosted at two different servers...
Edit: Nevermind, I figured this out on my own. Turns out, the free hosts are crazy people who insist that their clients use their nameservers which provide no custom DNS management, and actively block any attempts to redirect to their servers from a third-party DNS. Sigh...  Anyone know of better free hosting? I'm looking for one that will let me use my own DNS (or else offers good DNS configuration options), provides PHP/mySQL, and preferably has no ads.

| I wouldn't worry about ads. Well at least with godaddy it was easy for me to put in a JavaScript comment at the end of my code where godaddy puts their ad and it commented it out and it didn't show up on the page. |

Yeah, I figured that trick out too  but when I finish programming my site, and I tell people about it, I don't want to block any ads, just in case it violates any rules of the host. Also, I do have a free godaddy host account too, but I can't use it, because it has some weird problem with my forms that no other free host seems to have trouble with...
Actually, I've found another pretty good free host with no ads: http://www.000webhost.com/ So far, the only disadvantage I see is that I still can't configure subdomains but I guess I can deal with that, and I have yet to find a single free host that does let me configure subdomains. If anyone knows one, please let me know!
