Pretty much what the title says. I purchased a .com domain for my first personal site ever from gandi.net and I purchased shared hosting space from lithium hosting.
I haven't found any specific instructions for how to make the domain name use the hosting space I purchased, so if you guys could advise me on that, it'd be fantastic!
Thanks!
Typically you log in to the place you registered the Domain (gandi.net) and there should be a place to configure the Name servers for that domain. Lithium hosting should have info somewhere on what their nameservers are, so find that and put them on gandi.net. There maybe some additional setup you have to do on the Lithium side as well (like telling them what domain name you are hosting on their services).
You will have to point domain NameServers to your hosting eg NS1.YOURHOSTING.COM NS2.YOURHOSTING.COM, that is in your case pretty much it.
NS1.LITHIUMHOSTING.COM -> 184.82.230.74
NS2.LITHIUMHOSTING.COM -> 184.82.44.168
You have to tell the people from whom you purchased the domain that they should point it to your webspace which is identified by an other name or an ip address. Look for something like "CNAME Resource Record" or "A Resource Record".
If you cannot find a menu on the site to do this just contact the support.

I have a host and my own domain, lets say: www.mysite.com, on this host I have created a site: sub.mysite.com
Another person owns www.domain.com and I need him to point the domain to sub.mysite.com, however I am going away tomorrow and would like to just leave him the details he needs in order to point www.domain.com to sub.mysite.com, what would those details be?
Thanks,

The Name Server addresses, which can be found searching here:
http://who.is
edit:
Bear in mind that in addition to changing the name servers for the domain, you will also need change your [host's] server configuration to manage the traffic redirection.
Name Server addresses point to a server, not a domain. You want the name servers to match for your current domain and the domain you want moving. This means they will both find the same 'computer'. It is down to the 'computer' (server) to then provide the right files; in this situation, it is achieved by configuring the server to forward traffic arriving from 'newdomain.com' to 'sub.olddomain.com'.
If using the CPanel web management control panel, this is done in the 'Addon Domains' section:
Enter the domain to be pointed in the 'new domain name' field, then set the 'Document Root' field to point to the folder hosting the contents of your subdomain. (e.g. /public_html/sub)

Sometimes when I look up the WHOIS information for some domains, I see that their nameservers are forwarded to a service like ZoneEdit or Domain Control. I've never understood what the purpose is for doing this but I have a feeling it has to do with hiding the nameserver so someone who does a WHOIS on the domain can't figure out which service the site is hosted under.
Can someone please explain this to me?
There is all sorts of reasons someone may use a service like this:
Their webhost doesn't provide DNS. Especially true for people running their own VPS (you'd need 2, for backup DNS).
Their webhost provides DNS, but it is bad; it is slow, it drops out, whatever it may be.
They use multiple webhosts and want to keep all the DNS in one place.
I'm sure there's many more, but these are the obvious ones.
On a related note, for many web hosts you can look up the owner of the IP range that the web server is in if you want to know what company is ultimately hosting a website. This will turn up some info, though the company that owns the IP may not be the person that is being paid directly by a site owner for hosting on that IP.

I've searched around and I still can't find anything on how to do this. Ideally I would like to know how to link up multiple domain names as I am now using SDK 1.3.
Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?
Thanks
To elaborate on what Dave has said. When you deploy your app to Azure, it gets an address that looks something like this:
myazureapplication.cloudapp.net
Per the instructions on the page here, http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47610 or any other dozen pages that come up when one googles "CNAME godaddy", you want to point your domain record hosted at GoDaddy to myazureapplication.cloudapp.net (or whatever your app happens to be). You're not pointing to IP, but to domain name, wihch is why its a CNAME record
HTH
Here is a cool work around
http://blog.smarx.com/posts/custom-domain-names-in-windows-azure
There's a service called DNS Azure that updates your A records automatically. See here
Have you tried simply creating a CNAME entry for all of your custom domain names, to point to your .cloudapp.net Windows Azure deployment name?
these links should hopefully help

If someone wants a .LY TLD (top level domain) or .IO TLD, how do I determine which domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Register.com) supports the purchasing of this TLD?
If you are looking for a registrar for a niche domain the best way could be you visit the Registry's web site. These may list authorised registrars. The problem with going to non authorised registrars is that they will in turn have to go via a authorised registrar and that will only put up the price you pay.
The list of .IO registrars can be found here: http://www.nic.io/registrars.html
The list of .LY (Libya) registrars can be found here: http://www.nic.ly/lyregistrars.php
UPDATE 13/3: The best place to find a list of registrars is the Registry's web site which is normally located at http://www.nic.[TLD]. There is a list of ICANN-Accredited Registrars which can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/accredited-list.html
Hope that this helps.

Like bit.ly, goo.gl, is.gd, j.mp, migre.me etc. use their own domain extension .ly, .gl, .gd, .mp, .me etc. How can I create my own personalize domain extension like .gbsif? Please help.
You can't. Only IANA can.
Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-level_domain
Here's a list of available TLDs:
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/
http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
You can run your own nameserver and add a new tld there. But this won't help you much, as the TLD will only be visible to the users who are using your own nameserver.
The "official" TLD like ".ly" are countries, see: official list
The ICANN website does have a Contact page, and one subject category is "New gTLDs", so they probably get requests like this a lot. I don't know if they'd actually create an extension just for you, but if they get a lot of the same requests, I'm sure they'd do something about it.
