I have a domain name, and a WordPress account. The domain name isn't hosted anywhere at the moment. I just want to set it up so that my WordPress blog uses the domain. According to the WordPress help page on this issue, I have to do the following:

Update your domain’s name servers to the following. Make sure to remove any existing name servers that are already there.

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

So, this is the only thing that I need a server for - if I even need a server at all? Is there a really simple way I can do this for free? Or for very cheap?

I'm a bit ignorant about this stuff: I do Ruby on Rails coding, but I don't get involved in the really technical stuff to do with servers and DNS and what have you.

You don't need a server (that's what WordPress.com is for). You can change your DNS adresses from the domain registrar's site (the usually have an admin panel of some sort).

    Don't forget that if you do this your domain name can only be used for Wordpress. E-mail or anything else for the domain won't work.
