You need to arrange for the domain to be hosted on your plusnet account. Then you can use it with your webspace.
See the help & support pages related to domain hosting here.
Note: you want to just host the domain not transfer it as transferring means PN will bill you for the domain when it expires and they are very expensive compared to many dedicated domain registration companies.

Thanks, So I would be charged 15 pounds to do this with a .com domain?

No, registration and payment remains where it is. You just need to arrange to HOST the domain on your account, which is free, not transfer it to PlusNet.
You do this by changing the name servers on the domain to PlusNet's ones (see the help pages) and when that has changed, raise a ticket and ask for the domain to be hosted on your account. The help pages explain this.

Ok, i've sort of worked it out now but im not sure what to do on the side of my Hosting company. Here is a screenshot of the settings page, what should I be entering and where? It appears that it gives 2 options, one is for actually doing as described above and the other is some sort of Masking(the Forwarding section)?
Is it necessary to have them transferred if I can just Stealth Forward the domain so the result is my Plus webspace? Or do both that and the 'Name servers' need to be entered?
