You can use any DNS server on which you have permission to add a zone or resource record, which appears to be whois.com (your registrar, which almost always provides DNS services as a basic part of domain registration) and your hosting provider. When you changed the nameserver records on whois.com, you made ns*.000webhost.com authoritative for the zone. You still need to add the zone (tell ns*.000webhost.com it is now authoritative) and an address (A/AAAA) record for the zone through the hosting provider's control panel.

You could also switch back to whois.com and then add/edit resource records for one or more hosts. Note that in DNS terminology, "host" or "hostname" refers to a resource resolved by a name server to a name or IP address providing a service, such as HTTP for a website.

Either way, you will need resource records such as the root of the zone juleex.com, represented by a blank hostname, and the usual www hostname. These will point to the IP address (an Address, or A record for IPv4, AAAA for IPv6) or hostname (a Canonical name, or CNAME record) that 000webhost specifies as the server hosting your content.
