The exact details of how you either add or transfer a domain to a host
depends somewhat on the host. Hopefully they have some documentation.
To give you an example of how one host tells you to do it, see
http://www.hostexcellence.com/documentation.php . Go to control panel
basics, and you will find a section concerning domains which leads to
detailed instructions for adding, transfering, buying, or parking a
domain. Note that this host is highly automated, and others may require
you to handle a lot of the details yourself. It can take a few days
after a transfer before the domain is repointed to your new host.
Usually you can get in at first just using numbers before the domain
name goes into effect everywhere. I can not comment on who would be a
good host for your friend, because I do not know the nature of their
web site.
