Domain transfer and mapping advice needed

    Need some advice on the best way to handle this. I created a site through squarespace for an organization I'm involved with as it offered us what we needed and I'm very happy with it. Before I stepped in though, someone had already bought a domain name and a hosting plan through BlueHost. We have since canceled our bluehost hosting plan and still retain the domain name for one year. What I would like to do is have both domains (the domain purchased from bluehost and the domain I registered that was included with squarespace) point to the site I created on squarespace. I was initially able to map the bluehost site to squarespace no problem but since we canceled the hosting, that doesn't work anymore.
    I am thinking that the best solution would be to take advantage of a site that has free hosting where I could transfer my domain over to them. Then, I'd like to just map the newly hosted site to squarespace. Any thoughts on the best way/hosts to do this? Open to other options as well. I'm kind of new to all of this! I'd like to avoid spending any more money to do this if I can!
    Thanks!

    You want to map a custom domain to your squarespace account. Take a look at this article:
