I'd like to purchase one of the fancy new TLD extensions from Google domains such as .rocks or .chat, but want to use it with my own hosting company - such as not with Blogger or Wix. Will I need to transfer the domain or can the domain be redirected? Tell me how to do this.

The method for doing this varies depends on your control panel but normally there is a button to park/add domain.
