You'll need to buy a domain name after you do this contact the hosting company you got the domain off and have them point your domain at your current geocities URL.

Not looking to buy a doamin name Sposs - I'm looking for something more along the lines of the tinyurl link below.

However I need one where I can specify what words will be used in the link.

There are a few of those services around. Some of them are not bad. I would suggest you look at a service like:
