Please bare with me as my webhosting/setup terminnology isnt very good

I've got an afrihost uncapped account. I signed on for my free domain name this eve. e.g. (www.myfreeacc.co.za)
Q1) how long before this becomes registered at uniforum?

Also, given how fast Afrihost's service is deteriorating, i would not like to be involved with this company come a year's time.
Q2) Can I then manually renew my domain name at uniforum without having to pay afrihost a fee?

lastly (lets assume I didnt have an afrihost or any web account), Ive looked around at the uniforum website. It seems pretty easy to register your own domainname.
Now, I register with google apps and plan to have google host my website via googlesites
how would I fill in question 6 of

----
6. NAMESERVERS FOR THIS DOMAIN

6a. Primary server FQDN: ns.uk.ibm.net
6b. Primary server IP address: 152.158.16.48
------

What im trying to get at is: If I want to register a domain name, who would I put down as my nameserver and IP address

Uniforum does not require the IP addresses of name servers anymore. If you plan to host your site with google sites, then you would have to use either their name servers or point the DNS of your domain to their servers.

Since you have registered your domain through Afrihost, you have to pay the fee they bill you for the renewal of the domain, except when you transfer the domain to your own name or away from them.
 
Thanks ZeRo_CoOl.
Another silly question. How do I find out of the FQDN of google sites?
