I recently bought a domain name www.example.com from <snip>, My question is can i now host the page with <snip> without having to buy another domain name from them? Also if this is possible will lunarpages.com take care of linking the domain to my webpage and so on?
Thanks in advance

That is fine. I bought my domain name from one company then hosted it with another company. All you have to do is change the Domain Name Server Addresses in your Domain company's account to your hosting company's DNS.

yes it should be listed when you sign up. Actually I can even find mine from my hosts support page without signing in or anything.

You can always do a WHOIS lookup on the hosts own domain name, this is usally the same DNS settings (but not always)
