It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to host a domain on your school account. Web hosts must own an IP address for each active account, and your school accounts probably share just one. If you’re willing to pay a little for a real web host, [atomhost.com](http://atomhost.com) has a $4.99 per month plan. ---

Most these days have a single IP per machine and host multiple domains on the machine (via HTTP 1.1’s features which require the client to send the hostname to the server). But anyway, it’s doubtful your school will set this up for you. Go and search for “virtual domain” providers and find the one that has the features you want for the cheapest price.
