hello,

i currently have a domain registered with godaddy (with about 1 year left) and have just signed up for webhosting with freeola.

at the moment i have masked forwarding so the godaddy domain leads to the freeola homepage, but i'd like it so that the entire structure of my freeola site uses my godaddy domain name.

is this possible, or do freeola require you to transfer the domain to them?

thanks.

it seems like transfering in is the only option freeola allow, although other web hosts will let you use domains registered elsewhere and it's just a case of setting the DNS records.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

The best way would be to transfer the domain to Freeola.

Otherwise I think the best you can do is to use FRAMES so that your GD domain name will always be displayed in the address bar.

But it's not so good for search engines or for people trying to bookmark a specific page etc.
