A little confused at connecting my Domain to my Host..

I use FourBucks for my web host and No-IP for my domain. Have since 2005 with no problems.

The other day I got a notice from No-IP that it's time to renew. Since I changed my debit card number last year and forgot to update it with them, they couldn't automatically charge it.

While browsing around No-IP I noticed I am paying for two things. A jasoco.net domain and an Enhanced version of No-IP (jasoco.no-ip.com). I guess the second was a leftover. It costs $10 a year and is unneeded. So I wanted to delete it. Cancel it. So I'm only paying for the .net domain. So going to my account to delete/cancel the one I notice this confusion...

How can it be that www.jasoco.net points to jasoco.no-ip.com and jasoco.no-ip.com points to www.jasoco.net. Wouldn't that cause a loop? Shouldn't one of those point to my Host's servers?

Both of them are set to Web Redirect. But pointing to each other. Wouldn't that be an Ouroboros or a Catch-22 or something?

So I want to fix this. Point jasoco.net to my host's servers (Whatever that information may be.) and the other delete.

But since I don't know my information for FourBucks... I'll have to ask them for it, but I'm just confused at how this is working if neither of them point in the right direction. Or am I missing something so blatant?

And which option would I use?

DNS Host (A) - Asks for an IP address
DNS Host (Round Robin) - Asks for two or more server locations with a Label and an IP
Port 80 Redirect - Asks for an IP and a Port
Web Redirect - What they're set to right now

I just want to correct this and cut out the extra fat. (Since I don't need that jasoco.no-ip.com one. I only had that when I didn't own jasoco.net.)

Fortunately they let me know this 90 days before they expire so I have time to figure things out.
